On November 26th, an enormous swell hit the coasts of Hawaii.

Laird Hamilton, as one of the pioneers of tow-in surfing in (very big) waves,
was the first one in the water that day.
The wave of Peahi on the island of Maui, also called Jaws, is Laird’s favorite
playground. In the Hawaiian surfscenes, M. Hamilton is nowadays known as ‘The
Master of Jaws’; needless to say more.
That day, Laird had invited a few of his friends to spend some time on his rollercoaster.

It’s definitely worth the few minutes of download.
