2:11 that close-up really shows the size and power of that wave. It is a fuckin freight train.

Rarely rarely fires off, but when it explodes, it’s something else !

[@stuartrobinson1338]

Thanks. I lived on Maui for two years in the late 80s and maalea freight trains broke only one time. And I happen to be sick that day. Bummers.

[@brsrc759]

Damn that's epic! I hear this place is firing today! I'm going to go check it out right now. Subscribed! 😎🤙🏼

[@sparker]

Dude! I'm totally blown away that you have this footage. I lived and worked in Ma'alaea at this time and my parents were visiting from the mainland and witnessed this. It was such an epic day. It came to life again with the swell in July 2022! Thanks for sharing. Oh, and there was a DVD that was circulating of this epic 2005 swell on Maui. If anyone knows anything about this, or has a copy, please DM me. Thx! Mahalos!

[@mauiboy86]

Yeah I had made a DVD and a few other did as well. Back before hd and drones too lol

[@ricksoden6838]

i lived in Kihei the summer of 73, I swear it broke at least three times if not more, I surfed mudflats (left) with only another person or two. We could see the break from the lanai of the house we were renting. it must've been a rare summer, as it breaks only so often these days, but then again I'm rarely down there when it does

Yes, according to Gerry. There's a chapter with the same title in his book "Surf is Where You Find It." It's a hilarious story.
