Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

Waking up in my tent and paddling out to 50ft Jaws, I recall one of the most violent and deepest hold downs of my career.

Huge thanks to the legend Larry Haynes for capturing this incredible footage alongside and Dan Norkunas for filming the whole scenario go down.

This was filmed during the making of “Ground Swell: The Other Side of Fear” and “Over the Edge”.

One of my favourite trips anywhere this year. I ventured back to my home state of South Australia with legendary big wave & slab hunter Justin ‘Jughead’ Allport plus young up & coming surfer Hughie Vaughan. We head 1000 Kilometres into the desert to that super dangerous slab wave that almost took Dylan Longbottom’s life last year. This wave is mostly a tow wave as it moves so fast. BUT you do get surfers like Russell Bierke, Kael Walsh & Harry Bryant that want to challenge themselves to paddle this wave but as you’ll see it’s not easy. This adventure also features Dylan Robertson & Kipp Caddy and just wait till you see the POV vision from Kipp. Enjoy this adventure..
