Incredible Big Wave Riding - Peʻahi and Mavericks

Some incredible wave riding at the notorious point break Pe'ahi in Maui known as Jaws. One of the largest swells to hit the island in 10 years.

A smaller swell hit Pe'ahi a few weeks earlier. Due to the rules in place for the point break when there are enough surfers paddling into waves tow in surfing is not allowed.

Many of the pro surfers that surfed Pe'ahi took the read-eye flight to San Francisco that landed at 6am for the Mavericks Invitational starting at 8am. There were tons of beatings taken by all surfers at Mavericks this year.

Full compilation of the biggest wipe-outs of the day.
