    So glad there was no music added to this. The sound of the waves, wind and stokies keeps the atmosphere authentic. Good job 👍

    right about 1997, i was 13 years old, hopped in a car with steve cooney and his girlfriend at the time, my first time meeting steve and realizing how great of a surfer and a person he was.
    we slow rolled from Lahaina to Ma'alaea, it was perfect, exactly like this footage and nearly this big, strong offshore winds and just big perfect Maalaea
    i lived maui for 15 years and that day was the most perfect ive ever seen Freight Trains untill i watched this just now
    Maui has its share of amazing waves, ive seen malawarf, honolua and windmills more than a hand full of times at their best
    But catching Freight trains like this, now thats something very special

    The swell direction has to be oh so perfect for Ma'alaea to break like this video. It had enough South to get through the island shadowing and not close out down the line. One of the best swells I've seen over the past 56 years. Not the biggest but the best.

    I first heard of Ma'alaea in an early 90's Surfer or Surfing mag. It was a small photo maybe captioned by Reno or someone and loosely the quote was "that's Owl at Ma'alaea and he's been drinking all morning". The photo was near identical to this videos conditions. It looked a beast of a freight train. Not often shown, this is amazing. Tena koe David Sunset Beach Aoteroa

    • @brianbirc
      @brianbirc ปีที่แล้ว

      remindes me of a place I lived very close too. Not very consistent but when hit by a big south swell from the best or close tho the degrees of direction it was epic double overhead steep thick swuare looking to ride. The barrel so thick breaking far out in front of the wave crashing into the water made the whitewash go big like an explosionIt is known as The Point and nicknamed California Pipeline The best barrel rides I have ever had from the multified atmospherein therespit out with a powerful spray .to here howlsof cheer and seee the big zoom lensed camerason tripods on the sand at the waters edgemade Cali Pipeline a perfecct nickname when it broke so good with bg barrels. Not to crowded most surfers who saw it breaking like this would not paddle out seeing it break for a valid reason it snappedalot of boards in half. You had to be in the right spot of course and paddle hard and fast pop up quick take of making some speed. No time for the big bottom turn I would not make it you get barreled fast and hope you make it . Getting thrown over thr falls there is rough like the wahing machine and hard to get air!

      Nobody burned anyone in this video. The only guys you see drop in on anyone in this video, when there's zero chance of the guy in the pocket is going to make it. Freight Trains breaks so fast at the peak, that if you aren't in the right place at the right time all the way through the first bottom turn, you aren't going to make it.
