Mavericks Wakes Up And Goes XXL For The World's Best Big Wave Surfers | Sessions

It's a whole nother level today, I think. Look at this conditions. You know, and like, no wind. Massive swell. I'll make a little call today. I think today we'll see one of the biggest paddle waves ever. Does the channel ever close out? Yes, it does. And tonight, coming in, you'll be very aware that you need to have a captain that's good. Seriously, are you going out? Yeah. Be aware of it. Okay. Blow your shoulder out getting into these. Feeling good. Feeling great. It's nice to have a mid-morning arriving swell rather than a 5 a.m. calm. This is a brand new board that I padded up in my hotel room last night. And it's based on my magic board I was using at Jaws. And then I got caught inside at Jaws and snapped that board in half. So I just got this. And this has all the latest and greatest stuff that we've been working on. And it's a 9-11. The goal is to chip one from a mile outside and back door the bowl. Hopefully that one comes. Small enough to come in in the morning, for sure. Lucas Chumbo. Yeah, he just called me and he was like, I was trying to stay as far on the shoulder as I could. That's saying something if he's the one trying to stay on the shoulder. He wants to go as deep as possible. Put together a team on the right kind of swell. Oh, look at that chip! Oh, you'd be rolling into that. Let's do this. You can't be serious. Why? I already did the double black diamonds. This is the only one that's triple black. That was the gnarliest one I've ever seen. Chunky. Big interval and definitely cold. They're back there. You just have to really gamble those big sets on the head. Holy shit, Ian. I'm glad you're... Welcome to the 12th dimension. How are you, Ian? Went to the... I just did some time travel underwater. That was... up there with the worst beatings I've ever had. I just got to get these boards out. My arms are pretty blown. Oh my god. That was a beating. I'm so glad you're okay. I thought I had that. I was so committed to sticking in it. Did you see it, Jimmy? Yeah, I got the clip. That was right before we left. Oh my gosh. That was just... We were all... It was Chumbo, Nath, and myself. And Ian had been waiting forever to catch a bomb. And he was just in the spot. So we're like, go Ian! And yelling him in. And then all of a sudden he goes and it looks like he's in the perfect spot. Knife's into it. It's a gigantic wave. And then we hear everyone on the inside going, oh no! And we all look at each other. We feel so bad. Because we're like, did we just send him on a death wave? But we all thought he was in the spot. And when the waves get that big and that heavy, it makes such a difference to hear somebody encouraging you to go. So we were just trying to encourage him. And yeah, he just went to the 12th dimension and said he was seeing double or something.
