Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

After chasing some Jaws swells and filming the Eddie. I found myself on a redeye to San Fransisco to chase the same swell that just hit Hawaii. Seeing this storm develop was unreal. Satellite showed giant seas in the middle of the pacific. This was a day I could not miss. The anticipation built the closer I got to arrival. I got there took a few hour nap as I was up for around 30 hours and headed to Mavericks. I knew it was going to start pumping around noon. The buoy readings were off the charts.

The fog had cleared as soon as I pulled into Half Moon Bay. Walked over to the cliff and began filming.

It was one of the more special days i’ve been apart of.

Talking with the guys after it was pretty clear that we had been apart of Mavericks history. With the consensus claiming “biggest ever”

Now that claim can get thrown around often while chasing swells. But this was legit.

Hope you enjoy ‘Mavs and the Devil’ as much as I enjoyed filming it.

A Santa Cruz man may ride into the history books for taking on what could be the world’s largest wave ever surfed. Marianne Favro reports.

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.
