Curious how big wave surfing began? Or what even counts as a "big" wave? In this episode, we dive (not literally) into the origins of big wave riding—from ancient Hawai‘i to the pioneers of the 1930s, to Laird Hamilton’s tow-in era at Jaws. Learn why competitions like The Eddie only run under mythical conditions, how Mavericks became a proving ground, and why big wave riding is as much about obsession as it is about bravery. Plus, find out the current world records for biggest waves surfed (spoiler: they’re monstrous).
