Big wave surfing at Jaws - December 15, 2004

8 minutes worth of (unedited!) highlights of the tow surfing at Jaws on Big Wednesday.

This was the first big swell of the season on Maui, with the NWS forecasting it at 35 - 45 feet faces. The gates to Ho'okipa were locked, and stayed locked the next day too.

It all kicked off at around 0745, and all the wipeouts in this video are before 0815!

Wow amazing footage. You can really see how much water is moving around inside, there are nasty rips it looks like.  What kind of camera was that?

[neilmcm]

Camera was a Sony TRV-355 (Digital 8 with 20x optical).
