Few Jaws Snapshots 12/8

[Crampedon]

Shot at 8 am, swell building. Will go bye after work with a bit more lense

Looks cleaner than the Eddie cam did, hopefully they run bright and early tmro I wanna catch the whole thing.

Swell up, all the boys in place. Shots from just after sunrise to 10 am.

Rode MBT down to Wai Ki kena. 500 people on the next point, traffic unreal. All kind tourists in slippers hiking all over the pineapple fields.

I counted 37 jet-skis, 5 choppers, 2 light planes 5 fishing boats and a zodiac. (at 9am} HUGE drops, both left and right, many simultaneously. Good work
by the tow partners and drivers. Saw a few wipe-outs and there were always 2-3 skis responding and one chopper overhead spotting. This is life-threatening shit here.

Sweet, thanks.

[DeeAre]

I'm stoked, vicariously.

[Tye 1on]

Cool man, thanks.

So do all these waves need a tow? Anybody able to, like, just paddle on to the wave?

Not today, guys have tried, but sling-shoting by a ski is the way. If it looks sketch they can be towed right out of the way without letting go.

Here is a couple I blew up a bit, you can see the ski kicking out and the peanut gallery.

Good to see Magnum's buddy TC is still flying the chopper around HI.

Yesterday was fucking big.

Could hear it pounding all night again.

These are great shots from the more northerly lookout.

Look at the guy riding left 8 from the left top row.

Got a shot there of the cineflex heli with Curt Morgan inside (that's it, that's all)
that footage should be balls deep!

WTF, sequence of the last guy! who snaps the lip on JAWS lefts?!?!

[Crampedon]

Plenty guys going left yesterday, but mostly straight-line to the channel.
Not a good place to get caught inside. Very few 'Smackin' it!

Thanks for the pictures guys. Couldn't make it out to Maui this year. Seeing this swell makes me immediately regret that decision.
