Peahi without the coloured singlets - video

The powers that be might've put the kybosh on the BWT event (no error, it's now known as The Big Wave Tour) at Jaws this week, but freesurfers weren't hobbled by the inconsistency and lack of size - the reasons cited for pulling the pin.

Here's eight minutes of footage from Friday. Heads up for old mate who takes one on the scone at the 2:00 min mark, gets an underwater tour, almost gets rescued, before going over with his board on the next wave.

Nice clip. Great to also see the wipeouts, the hold down then surface & rescue, good real perspective. Some of those "smaller" inside ones we're being threaded nicely!! Not to mention the smokers. Everyone just charging.......
