It's been a long time since we've seen someone whip in on a towboard at Peahi. But that's just what a few of the Maui crew did while the Eddie invitees were dropping into Waimea.

Yeah udes' I hope there is a water angle of it . Considering how many people were at Waimea , then that might be an angle that we'll just have to imagine .

Yep onto it ... Thanks ... How critical was the entry into the tube , and then the correction to start his run . Crazy . So deep he even disappeared on this angle . Does it compare to the massive pits at cloud break ? , would still like to see water footage to better compare . One thing is for sure is the drop looked far more critical than most to come through at Fiji . ( with exception of Pat Gudang ) . And now I'm getting pretty amped to see Mark Healy back at cloudbreak in the right spot , to have a dig at the type of wave he had to swim under . Camel get your passport sorted FFS .
