Caught inside by Monster wave at JAWS

[@Flex-xl3ty]

This is awesome for three reasons: 1. No music, just live action sound. 2. Filming the whole thing, including paddle action. 3. Whipeout pov!

[@backyard5865]

this is the best POV clip/ clips I've ever seen at jaws, hands down! That barrel was well deserved after that hold down.

[@chirpthird]

Whatever that means I like it. I gotta ya

[@starlight250]

@@chirpthird he means its the best surfers point of view of what its like to fall off a wave at jaws (its not fun) and that the wave he got afterword at 2:14 was a well deserved reward, since physycally he had to try really hard to not die in order to get it

[@denmun9722]

Oh my goodness that barrel at 2:03 just blew my mind... The foam ball appears half a city block away at one point. Insane

[@dirtycurty8394]

Kai is like a human gyroscope. When those monster lips start throwin over his head, he is in as much control as one can possibly be. He is a legend already.

[@seaturtledog]

The camera captures Kai's legs and body making the small moves required to stay in balance and moving in the correct direction. It would seem one wrong move and you are a sure wipe out.

[@delphic464]

Obviously this some amazing surfing. The skill, resilience, and guts are remarkable. But can I just take a moment to give a very humble shout out to the camera mount? That thing took it on the head over and over and never budged.

Holy crap. What to do? Swim to the bottom? It doesn't look like he could deep enough to get safe.

[@Itzwapusk]

He likely got under the wave and out the back. Hence why he stood up to dive, that's how they get through the waves. Usually they'll dive with their board but if the wave is too big they gotta dive and have their board follow them under
