On the biggest paddle day ever at Mavericks, Twiggy goes down on the first wave of the biggest set of the day and proceeds to get pounded by three more 60ft+ waves. Horror water and drone footage of one of the most insane wipeouts and daring rescues in the history of Surfing.

Times are tough and it would be great if you could please help out Twiggy by subscribing to his channel so he can make a few extra Dollars to keep traveling, surfing, and bringing us crazy action like this.
Thank you.

Fucking heavy brah
I'll never forget my beat down out there in May '93 and that was only a 10' 20sec swell – no jet skis though and a broken board. I wasn't surprised when Foo drowned the next year….. It can happen to anyone! Glad you made it!
Unbelievable!
unreal. glad you got through without serious damage but I gotta know .. did you get your board back?
Bruuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!! Watching this thing gave me such goosies. Glad you're alright brother man.
I love his adjetives
So courageous ๐คamazing Twig !!
Wipe out for the year awards
Twiggy you're a living legend brother. Glad you made it safely through that one! Mavs is no joke.
i admire so much your courage! What a legend! Much respect
Looks like the lip swelled up and pushed him over the falls rather than the bottom dropped out.
Keep pushing forward brother! ๐ช๐ป
Never padle in the first wave of the set! ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐
You know that's a risky sport, one can get killed, right? I know it's exhilarating, but be careful will ya!
Muy loco ola(s) & cojones!
Since the 90's we have watched from the sidelines – the progression from Waimea-Todos-Mavs-Jaws-Nazare-??. From paddle to tow back to paddle again and you keep upping the bar! Fortunately, there are less casualties now with the jet ski crews, inflatable vests, and better training…Yet, it is still mind-blowing to watch though!!
On a more suburban scale – our family just got back from 10 days surfing crowded yet fun & warm Waikiki – my 12yo son hangin' with his 50yo dad, and the local beach boys – we had a blast just LIVIN' da DREAM!!! The biggest danger there is avoiding the canoes, catamarans and 10' beginner boards…
Respect!! Iยดm glad you are alive and kicking. Iยดll have a beer to celebrate, cheers!! Greetings from Lima.
That wave was not going to let a small speck on a board ride it. That wave set you up on purpose!
Twig you are a absolute nutter, but I am very glad you are Ok!
Well done staying calm, and well done to the guys on the ski.
