Jaws bites

 

Mid-January 2021 there was a BIG storm in the Pacific Ocean, followed by BIG waves in Hawaii.  They were surfed of course, with various skill levels and various levels of success.

Here's an article from the Daily Mail about one of the lesser levels of success.

'Wipeout of the year': Heartstopping moment surfer is crushed by 62 ft wave on Hawaii’s north shore but miraculously survives after spending more than a minute stuck under water

I couldn't find a way to directly link the video here, but if you go to the photographer's Instagram, the video is there.

You have to look quick to see the surfer written about in the article;  he shoots by at the top of the wave just before the windsurfer sail goes down.

Here's a picture of outstanding female big wave surfer Justine Dupont on this day.  At the Instagram link, there's a video of an incredible ride where she escapes a Jaws tube that looked like it was destined to swallow her.
