      Heard it was a local photog legend who broke his back on the landing. I saw a link to donate to his recovery somewhere.

      it was enough that he had to bail on the landing and jump ship...the ski to either side of him turned around to outrun it but he laid it pretty hard.

      I commented on the raw vid, but will repeat here. Outside limit shows he dropped 85ft and hit at 50mph. Estimated wave face about 68ft, or 30 something Hawaiian. Hit the eject button for sure!

Barry Webster was my surfing buddy ... we go when no one else out scared 😂 ... Eddie was my first date ... and saw Himalayas once this big smoking!!! ... but horrible conditions, however, a crazy guy, Flippy Hoffman went full wet suit so he could float, but we could not really see him ... no drones, no leashes ... but he claimed getting trashed was a really great time 😂... I sooo love this video ... mahalo 💞 NUI ... and crazy seeing the river surging with each set in and out ... this video is extremely special to me 🌺💜🌺 sooo miss NS will always be Home, just hate the crowds on the road & water ... live in peace Kona now ... getting to watch you guys rock enjoying Your Time!
