November 13th was opening day at Jaws for 2013, it was also in the words of Mark Healey, "some of the biggest Jaws ever paddled."

Check this video for a great lead up to the session, introductory clean up set, then highlights from an epic day.

Special mention to the fella that makes the drop at 3:54...and then gets swatted like a bug on the windscreen.

Wow that is really impressive. BUT expect a lot more deaths. The tow guys at least avoid most of the 'caught insides' Paddling is double trouble. Imagine paddling for one of those motherf#*%ers and missing it only to turn around and see a bigger one behind it. Shivers down the spine.......

Yeah, agree with you there. Big kudos for those that sit close to the impact zone to paddle vs those that have the speed and safety of a ski.
