Maui's North Shore may not be as popular as Oahu's, but when it breaks ..... it breaks BIG! Jaws is a world renowned monster wave that only breaks a few times a year. Today was one of those days. The beaches and oceans were all closed due to this dangerous north swell but hundreds of people were on the cliffs watching these 3 crazy guys tackle these waves. It was so much fun to watch. I can only imagine the adrenaline rush they must feel out there. These wave are too big to catch by paddling so the surfers get towed in on jet skis. Seriously crazy!
Geoff, Crew, and I made the hour long drive and 2 mile hike to see it. Next time it breaks, we are taking the boys. They would have love it!

That is crazy-those are HUGE!!!! How fun to go and see it. It makes me nauseous thinking about people being in that water with waves that big though...
