Craig Brokensha (Craig)
Swellnet Dispatch

We see glimpses of Matt Meola in short clips here and there, but this 12 minute long piece tops them all. Incredible aerial surfing from one of the best in the business between the tropical locales of Hawaii and Fiji.

Totally agree, I'm absolutely useless when it's windy, this edit really shows his amazing ability in the water....Wow!

Makes me realize how flexible I am not. Unreal surfing.

How does one achieve so much pop?

I’m guessing most of this is filmed in Maui, not sure if he is from there but he kind of throws tail like Clay Marzo. Wonder how he would go on a windsurfer.

Maui, "the windiest place on planet earth" seriously?

Nah, pretty sure that it's Mt Washington in the US, they cop massive weather systems coming of the Pacific in winter.

Yeah and that "remote island" he travelled to later, is probably not "Just East of the equator" !

Think they're taking the piss ;)

Hmmm, just east of the equator......I too like that clue, LOL!

I just got a sore neck from shaking my head so much.

Also one of the biggest coral trout I've seen.

Amazing ability. Makes my back hurt just watching.

Weirdly after watching all those airs the turn at 3.50 was the highlight.

The first two songs in the clip are written and sung by his sister, Lily Meola. There is a clip featuring the family I saw on Fuel TV a couple of years ago. Well worth checking out on YouTube. She is as talented a musician as he is a surfer.
