When you think of the biggest waves in the world, it’s a fair bet that England’s south coast isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. It’s not a coast or a country that contributes much to the world of pro-surfing, which makes Andrew Cotton all the more exceptional. Andrew is a mild-mannered plumber from Devon who happens to be a super-surfer, master of the biggest waves on the planet. In fact, he’s ridden what some have dubbed the biggest wave ever. Earlier this year he took off on a monster whipped up by a fierce storm in the Atlantic Ocean.

More big wave action just a CLICK away: http://win.gs/1alYVe2
Puerto Escondido is the mecca for meaty beach break barrels and broken boards. When the swell buoys light up, it’s game time – big waves chargers around the world flock to the wave to test their might against one of the heaviest breaks in the country. Greg Long, Shane Dorian, and Coco Nogales caught it on a BIG and unforgiving summer day, and after a few broken boards and some epic barrels, this video is the result. So sit back, relax, and enjoy mind surfing one of the gnarliest waves in the big wave world.

💬Let me know what you thought of today’s video comment section down below.
The location’s compound name combines the name of the surf break (Pipeline) with the name of the beach fronting it (Banzai Beach). It got its name in December 1961, when surfing legend producer Bruce Brown was driving up north with Californians Phil Edwards and Mike Diffenderfer.

The Banzai Pipeline, or simply Pipeline or Pipe, is a surf reef break located in Hawaii, off Ehukai Beach Park in Pupukea on O’ahu’s North Shore. A reef break is an area in the ocean where waves start to break once they reach the shallows of a reef. Pipeline is known for huge waves that break in shallow water just above a sharp and cavernous reef, forming large, hollow, thick curls of water that surfers can tube ride. There are three reefs at Pipeline in progressively deeper water farther out to sea that activates according to the increasing size of approaching ocean swells.

The reef at Pipe is a flat tabletop reef, with several caverns on the inside, creating a giant air bubble that pops on the front of the wave when the wave lurches upwards just before breaking.[3] There are also several jagged, underwater lava spires that can injure fallen surfers. When sand accumulates on the reef at Pipeline, the waves can become unpredictable and violently “close out,” (break all at once instead of peeling in a way that allows a surfer to ride the wave). A strong swell (a formation of long-wavelength surface waves) from the west clears out the sand in the reef, and after that, a strong north swell can give rise to the best waves.[4]

There are four waves associated with Pipeline. The left (which means the wave breaks from left to right from the perspective of a watcher on shore) known as Pipeline (a.k.a. First Reef) is the most commonly surfed and photographed. When the reef is hit by a north swell, the peak (the highest tipping-point of the wave where it begins to curl) becomes an A-frame shaped wave, with Pipe closing out a bit and peeling off left, and the equally famous Backdoor Pipeline peeling away to the right at the same time. As the size at Pipe increases, over 12 feet usually, Second Reef on the outside (further out into the deeper ocean waters) starts breaking, with longer walls (the unbroken face of the wave that the surfer slides across), and more size. At an extreme size, an area called Third Reef even further outside starts to break with giant waves

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; http://bit.ly/318y6Hv
