    I know a surfer that used to go out with the original Mavericks crew and he wiped out one time without getting a good breath. He got held down and washed into the Lagoon. Two weeks later he went out again and got the shakes so bad that he never went out at Mavericks again.

    He’s so much more articulate than most surfers. He has plenty to say and he speaks so clearly.

      Not sure I agree with you. I'm going against the grain on this one.
      Equally articulate surfer: Oh brah, it's just like, dude you get the best barrels ever dude. It's just like, you pull in and you just get spit right out of them. Then you just drop in, and just smack the lip "Hooahpah!", drop down it's like "Bahhhh!", then after that you just drop in and just ride the barrel and get pitted, so pitted like that.

    Raised in Makaha Oahu, lifeguard on Maui (Honolua bay fav surf spot), taught surfing in Kihei pretty much was a waterman. Now that I donʻt surf anymore I can appreciate Kai, Laird, David Kalama, Koa Rothman, Nathan Florence, Billy Kemper and all big wave riders. it keeps me going. Thanks Kai for your thoughts on pretty much most of the life I so enjoyed.

      Out of curiosity why don't you surf anymore? I grew up in Newport Beach, moved to Texas 2 years ago and missing the ocean like crazy. Just got back from Hawaii for a month. I'm trying to figure out how to make it back to the ocean but can't figure out where to go. California is lost...too crowded, too expensive.

      I used to surf Makaha often in the 90s, It's one of my favorite surf spots on Oahu. I live in Oregon now, so I rarely get to surf these days.

    Jaws looks like it’s has the most opportunity for dynamic surfing. Mavericks and Nazare kinda look like just straightlining after bottom turn.

      also think the gnarliness to wave quality ratio for cortez bank is also insane, lots of danger with it being pure open ocean with no landmarks, etc.

    Warm water no wetsuit hold down are worse. Wetsuit float more. Even in small waves you can feel it. You go down towards the bottum faster without a wetsuit.

    I notice he asks about Todos but they don't really get into it... and it doesn't seem like you hear much about sessions there these days. Anyone know what the story is with that spot? (If it's common knowledge).
    Also, Kai, you are a straight up force of nature and an inspiration to anyone who loves the ocean. Keep doing your thing.

      @svensvrgen6336 I heard there was a ban on motorised watercraft out there. As a surf spot it's already extremely dangerous, but without jetski support it's bordering on suicidal.
