Carnage at Jaws – Best Wipeouts

El Nino continues to give the Pacific the best big wave run in history and Jaws continues to give some bloody big hidings! Lucky for us mere mortals, the guys at Pure Digital Maui are on site to capture the carnage! Look out for our own Safa guys, with James Taylor and Simon “Coach” Lowe getting proper pounded.

WSL Big Wave Awards – Wipeout of the Year 2015 Nominations

After a very busy year in Big Wave Surfing, it must have been hard to narrow down the finalists for the worst wipeout of the year. If we were going with pure size, then Benjamin Sanchis was a clear winner as his wave at Nazare was giant. For pure and immediate impact, Billy Kemper, with a guillotine lip to the head at Puerto looks pretty dam bad. Jaws and Mavericks wipeouts can never be sneezed at, but for me the giant cartwheel to death must be the worst kind of wipeout and my choice is Scott Dennis. Who do you think took it?
