Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

2024 was a weird year for waves, it started pretty well with some decent winter swells. Once spring hit, the waves seemed to disappear, we then had a very flat summer and fall. When we did get swell I just wanted to surf and not film. So here is a short edit of a couple of surfs. The boards are my 5’3″ Vader(as a thruster setup) that I shaped, based on a prototype photo I saw years ago. Finless day is the 6′ mini Simmons.

The “Eddie Aikau Swell” at Jaws was all time! It was an out of control crazy and scary XXL surf session. While the whole surfing world had their eyes and attention set on Waimea Bay for the “Eddie Aikau Swell” event. Jaws also know as “Pe’ahi turned on and went all-time on Maui it was one of the biggest days in a long time.

The morning started off slow with no signs of the new anticipated swell, by 9:00 a.m. the new swell started showing up. Albee Layer started off the day with a massive paddle in wave while a few other hard core dedicated big wave surfers attempted to push themselves over the ledge at Jaws. The paddle session only lasted a few hours before it started getting out of control with XXL waves getting bigger and bigger every hour. Around mid day the swell had picked up a lot and it was getting really big. The tow in session started at the perfect time when some of the biggest waves of the day started coming through. One jet ski was unfortunately lost, alongside multiple tow in surf boards on the extremely dangerous rocky shoreline of Jaws. The swell was 25ft solid with bigger sets and no wind. It was all time barreling top to bottom from the north peak all the way through the west bowl. Around 3pm the peak of the swell arrived Shaun Walsh, Dk Walsh, and Luke Walsh were charging some of the biggest waves of the day alongside local stand out Ty Simpson Kane and many other big wave chargers. It was really mesmerizing watching these gigantic waves surfed with so much skill.

Everyone was on Oahu at Waimea bay so the line up was empty with only the local crew out. The safety team did amazing keeping everyone safe while making rescue after rescue during this XXL swell. Definitely one of the biggest swells we have documented from the cliff. It was another historical day in big wave surfing history at Pe’ahi, also knows as “Jaws” with some of the biggest waves waves we have ever seen, it was truly an unforgettable experience.
