- Ian Walsh might just be the most consummate professional big wave surfer in the world. Not only is he committed to hunting every major swell event in the Pacific, he is obsessed with being the most prepared, motivated and switched-on surfer in the lineup, bar none. From Jaws to Mavericks and beyond, the dedication Walsh shows to his craft is without compare. He’s fit and he’s focussed, he comes with a crew that includes his brothers DK and Shaun, who ensue that he can push the limits as far and as safely as possible, and he works closely with his shaper, Keith Teboul, who also makes Kai Lenny’s boards, to ensure that his equipment his dialled in with Formula 1 precision.
Don’t just take our word for it though, press play to enjoy My Last Two Winters, a deep dive into the wonderful world of all things Ian Walsh, who alongside Lenny is spearheading the Maui push at a level befitting the island that’s home to Jaws. Enjoy!

I saw Ian's Mavericks wave on Powerlines, and it stood out to me beyond anything that day. I have never seen anyone make a wave from that spot in the bowl. I've been watching and surfed out there for close to 20 years. The way he described that drop...from the land angle you can see how technical and perfect his surfing was. You can also see that THAT one particular wave was 100% makable barrel and the guy who burned him likely ruined what would have been one the greatest rides ever out there. Really made me angry the first time I saw it.
his coolness and humor about the pounding ... goals....
I wish I had his FOCUS. Ian Walsh is a Legend
Ian's one of my top 5 favorite surfers, and has been for quite some time. ROCK. SOLID.
Remember when he beat Taj at Fiji I'm wsl contest a few years back
Great mini documentary on you. You are a legend and surf big waves with such a unique style. You got my vote for “ best big wave surfer” !
8:30 insanely deep drop on this wave absolutely elite Mavericks ride
He describes massive waves and crushing wipeouts with the tone of someone in a crochet class! Unflappable!
I’m at the gym here in Michigan, looking out the window at a 5 story building, listening to Ian describe those waves. And I’m thinking, “Ian’s basically launching himself off the top of that building, which is moving towards me at 70 feet per second.”
I don’t know how you guys do it.
@19:25 - if I was anywhere near that thing, I'd be thinking nothing but "I'm dead - I'm a gonner"
Goner, lol
Awesome video. Big wave surfing movies/stories are always breathtaking!
Always! Glad you enjoyed!
His storytelling of the wave at Mavericks was unreal.
Amazing surfing
Best hobby in the world 🌎
Great video..........and respect to Jeff Clarke who surfed those waves all on his own back in the 70s
Legend
Excellent, thank you.
Ian is a big time Gladiator with Jaws as his coliseum. Thumbs up to him to fight that beast another day.
you guys are AMAZING...... so heavy'...... Ian,,,, you dont have to be the best big wave rider in the world..... just be the best Ian you can be, along with your fellow big wave chargers,, because you are all the best big wave chargers on the planet....... r.g.......mendo
Great video 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥!!!!
Great insight to the madness you guys are dealing with.
Epic Ian, you rock dude! keep up the great training, as you are inspiring ! Maui Mom
Pretty sick that’s stuff all pumping 👏👏👍
Mad respect, dude
Absolutely incredible. A very intimate look at the lives of big wave surfing elite: the 1%. Appreciated his humility and candor as he shared the very real struggles a professional surfer faces.
Ah yeah it’s a hard life
Such a heavy wipeout… to even paddle for that thing is so gnarly
Mullaghmore next? Or the Donegal wave?
Legend
so rad
Peahi is such a gorgeous wave. I sent out for the Eddie swell in 2018 or whenever that was on a friends boat for Sunrise first light two days in a row and was just SO magical. 🙌🏽
Faaaaaaaarkkk that drop at 1:36 was epic.luv to be there for real.wat a rippa
yoyal respect i find 8 ft in my older years but this is just pumping... i think Ian can take the title now..his earned it
That was some cool editing blurring the shot as if you are in his head looking out. Next sound and a GoPro on the surfer or board. This rocking chair is so warm and comfortable. Better to die like a lion than live like a lamb.
Peter Mel is the king of mavs. Kai Lenny is king of surf..Ian Walsh is super solid…takes a special motivation and courage to do what they do..kudos to all big wave watermen past and present🫡
Thanks for your decision I'll contact Surfline for them to update. 😂

Ian is on the level.
Thats some of the best Mavricks footage I've seen
The speed on that Jaws wave, and the height of these waves. Unreal.
Mavericks still seems like a more dangerous wave though.
Wtf that's the most Intense Amazing surfing ever such a hardcore charger!
This dude is amazing
"dimensions of pounding". What a Legend
I really enjoyed the one where the barrel was so large that when it spit the spit went *over* Ian's head 🙂!!!
Shredful gnarness
Mavericks situation was heavy. That cold water must make it feel way more intense.
Couldn't agree more, that cold water definitely adds to the chaos for sure 🥶
I thought Ian was still on the tour 😂🏆. When did he retired for big waves riding i feel like he has been on the tour forever. I love Ian, always though we will clinch the title someday. He's such a legend!
I've notice alot of these :Hellman" chargers are actually quite cerebral, deep thinkers.
That was Insane,
I don’t understand why Hawaiian Locals say California doesn’t have big or “real” waves.
They don't say that anymore :)
That drop at Mav,s was intense I'm thinking shit he's gonna make it, then somebody who must not got enough sleep drops in ohh double oh shit now headed for the bottom I'm thinking that looks like 50' to 60' or so down and then the next one or 2 you cats are well conditioned and I don't recall you mentioning a vest with air pull cartridges.
I miss surfing 🏄🏽♂️ so bad 🥲
1:27 That was freaking ridiculous
AWESOME !!!! nice chemtrails over Maui at 10;30 on the video. but you rock bra.
Wish I could surf these waves, without paying the price. I couldn’t imagine the violent beat downs and hold downs

Guys did you know Ian Walsh is a big wave surfer?
I sure as hell do now!!
Do you know what, I reckon that blurriness of vision is from brain rattle, like the American football players get from being pounded by other players when getting tackled, I'd get a scan just in case, I'd want to know whether those poundings are going to affect you later on in life...for peace of mind
No matter where you try to surf.
Kooks.
Hey guys would we be able to add credit in at least the bio for footage? Piece is great! Thanks
@1805 top.
Nice.
Gosh, the level of surfing is so insane these days. The athletes gotta be a little bit looney to be so understated. I'd be claiming it just being on the boat, with a life vest and a back up boat.
There are simple meditations that take you deeper than being in the pit of a wave. And those meditations do not rely on external factors such as here within an inch of getting squashed. It’s just interesting to point it out better where is Ian obviously found this focus from big wave surfing but it is not the only way to get there and as matter fact it’s the very strange way to get there.

Like u video 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Pillar Point (Mavericks) is in the middle of the Red Triangle where 38% of the shark attacks in the US have occurred.
Kelly wouldn't go...
Wawegend
what is the song around 8:30
I would Go
😈😈😈 ohh 😈😈😈😈
I guess some people like having near death experiences.
😈😈😈😈 i know surfboards are suppose to completely slick .... but i come up with a concept for car racing using slight amounts of deference in air consists to generate grip within the air , i call it finger print gripping. ... i have not heard or seen any area's of my idea being used which may mean its useless .... so maybe there could be infractions of that design used in big wave surfing ... i mean it would take off a fraction of time , mayhe micro seconds of the viscosity of breaking the waters enternal nature , creating better grip .... 😈😈😈😈
There are Great whites watching to but they think about watching not about stopping what their watching, I have seen Sharks
swim inside waves to watch Ppl, they do that to- like their in their going down the wave.
Those massive balls are a game changer, when it comes to providing that extra bit of inertia for coming off the bottom 🤪
Why no Todos always had better shape bigger waves at Todos
i would want to surf mavericks never
😈😈😈 maybe im not thing 3 dimensional. .. external honey come kind of ideas , spraying like crystallization occurances 😈😈😈
What a life 👌🏽 Yeeeeew 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
