Kona 4-6ft NW swell was rolling in, so I hung out on the shoreline for a few hours shooting some of the surfers out on the waves. Here’s what I shot. #surf #bigisland #kona #hawaii #surfinghawaii

While the Eddie Big Wave Invitational was firing at Waimea Bay, one of the gnarliest wipeouts of the weekend happened off Maui.

While much of the surf world’s attention was focused on The Eddie at Waimea Bay on Sunday, a whole bunch of the world’s best big wave surfers were tackling extremely giant Pe’ahi on Maui. Started out with some very large paddle waves with Albee Layer and Wilem Banks taking on some bombs. But by noon, everything changed. Tow-only. As big as it gets. “It was the biggest I’ve ever seen there,” said longtime filmer Adam Carbajal. Turned into a full tow session. We called Albee Layer to find out more, but he said, “Celebrating being alive right now, haha I can talk tomorrow.” Stay tuned.
