Alex Gray's Personal Battle to Purse the Biggest Waves on Earth - The Inertia

While Alex Gray is best known for his big-wave exploits and relentless positivity, his greatest achievements transcend deadly surf and two-wave hold downs. As a teenager, Alex lost his older brother and mentor, Chris, to a heroin overdose. The loss devastated the family - and for a period caused Alex to drop surfing altogether. But, in a turn that only life's unpredictability can inspire, Alex and the Gray family channeled loss into a constructive outlet that honors a family legacy and enables an unflinching pursuit of greatness. ICON: Alex Gray paints an earnest portrait of the resilience of the human spirit in chasing the ocean's outer limits.

Wave#1 is wave of a lifetime. Nevermind the tow in part. (its a heavy wave, period. Hands down.)
