You're gonna paddle into what?! The story of Jaws, Pe'ahi and Atom Blaster
from The Wipeout Weekly - Surf Podcast
What makes Jaws—Peʻahi, on the north shore of Maui—surfing's most feared and celebrated big wave? In this episode, we trace its history from Gerry Lopez's "atomic bomb" moment to the tow-in revolution with Laird Hamilton, Darrick Doerner, and Buzzy Kerbox. We look at the sailboarders who first charged it, the tow-in surfers who proved just how massive it could get, and the paddle-in era that redefined what was possible.
