Jaws on Maui is the most powerfull wave in the world


This is unbelievable and I have never seen this before, a tow board totally destroyed by a single wave. Yesterday I towed Chaz Kinoshita into a smaller 20' wave at Jaws and Chaz pulled into a nice barrel. Because it was a smaller wave, it pinched at the end and Chaz got closed out on. Notice the front inserts, they were snapped and pulled out with his foot still in the strap and the tail was broken in 2 places. This tow board was glassed with 5 layers of 6 oz glass and was as strong as a board could be, I picked Chaz up after this wipeout and his board was in pieces next to him so we are sure it was blown up on that single wave. Jaws is no joke and this proves the power of the spot.
