The Jaws Session Everyone's Talking About, January 23 2020

  • If the comments are anything to by by, this vid seems to be bringing in a lot of non-surfers. Jaws is a big wave surf spot, nothing to do with a shark. If we posted a vid of a surfing shark, we'd call it just that. Not Jaws. The above would be a silly title for a surfing shark vid.
    ------
    We're barely a few weeks into a fresh decade and we may have seen the session of the year so far. On Thursday, Jaws erupted as a huge swell ripped into the Maui coastline - with a full cast of AAA chargers on hand to wrangle those double-decker bus-sized kegs.
    And, you've probably seen on our social media Billy Kemper's 'ride of his life'. A heaving, hollow tube that was so neatly and perfectly threaded, that its tendrils will take root in the course of Jaws' surfing history. It was that damn good.
    But there were so many more afficiandos in the mix too. Kai Lenny (who we hear bagged potential wave of the year yesterday after this session went down - more on that later), Adriano DeSouza, Tyler Larronde and more.
    Let's break down the session here; on Thursday, when this session went down, a NW swell pulse capped out at 12.5ft@16 seconds with light wind, creating what you see here. Obviously that sized swell translates to huge XXL wave faces. Gawk at the carnage above. Vid by Maui Cartel. Full story, here; bit.ly/318y6Hv

    this might help... 'Jaws is probably the largest, heaviest, and fastest wave of the Pacific Ocean. When the extreme surf break shows its teeth, you hear the thunderous roar of the waves breaking over the deep-water reef. Jaws, also known as Peahi, is Maui's most notorious surf spot and produces waves ranging between 30 and 80 feet'

    My dad use to go to Hawaii for surfing competitions. The waves are insane and can reach heights larger than shown in this video. Of course this also meant that the wipeouts were just as epic. I remember one time he was practically scalped by the scaggs of his board. He had stitches running from the back of his head, along the side and across the top of his forehead in a huge crescent shaped pattern. Needless to say, the wave won that day.

    To those who don’t know. The reason why it is called Jaws in the title is because your surfing in such powerful waves, with the potential for breaking boards and backs. It is talked amongst surfers that often to survive the ride, is to saw you survived the, “Jaws of Death.” Meaning one mistake on the wave can cost you your life. Even professional surfer have drowned in the past.

    Maybe too late with my comment, but in the hopes of clearing up “ click bait” accusations: JAWS is the name of the surf spot. Right north of Sunset Beach on Oahu...it is one of the big waves spots that this Island is blessed with. Surfers’ paradise, there are beaches all around the island, with wave conditions varying with the weather pictures sometimes clear across the ocean. Each beach has its “familiar” name. So Jaws in the title does not refer to video of a shark eating a surfer, but maybe a colossal wave eating a board or two!

I thought boogie boarding was intense on that side, which tore up my stomach from the the sand between the board. There are warning signs before Jaws. I now see why. Shit is intense. Those waves aren't a joke.
