Finally got to paddle surf this gem over the weekend. River mouths in the Transkie can be intimidating places but more so when the Sardines are present, birds are diving and the Dolphins number in the hundreds. Thanks to @adrofernandez for trusting me enough to paddle out, @katelovemore for filming the occasion, Billi Baker for being such a good girl and @esharkforce for keeping us safe.@visslasurf @isurus_wetsuits @bos_sport @futuresfins @hurricanesurf @calisons

Surfing alone in big waves is a good way to get to know yourself. I went from being a scared little boy to a brave man and everything in between at Dungeons this weekend.

Just when we thought things couldn't get more exciting, the big wave world goes to another level. This was the most epic and historic day of surfing I have ever witnessed and the energy on the beach and in the water. Was incredible.To everyone involved who made this happen and helped fulfill a dream for us surfers - The sponsors, organizers, webcast crew, water safety, lifeguards and spectators, I'll never forget this day....Thank you!@bos_sport @isurus_wetsuits @visslasurf @hurricanesurf @futuresfins @calisons @esharkforce @livvillage @acesnspadesbar @thevillageidiotct

Well done to @nic_lamb for winning a historic Mavericks event , you went steep and deep buddy! Also to Tyler Fox - @zorro_del_mar who in my opinion was the most progressive surfer on the day. @gerglong for that crazy air and @travpayne for being the people's champ. Insane surfing by all the boys at the worlds heaviest slab.

Best of luck to everyone in the @titansofmavericks event today. My advise to win.....Put everything on the line, use the smallest board possible, take off behind the bowl set your rail and drive through the barrel!! 9'0 x 21" x 3 1/2" twigsurfboards.com @don_montgomery @isurus_wetsuits @bos_sport @visslasurf @hurricanesurf @futuresfins @calisons @esharkforce @acesnspadesbar

For years we would watch the North peak at Mavericks and wonder if it was possible to take off up there, pull into the West bowl and make it to the channel. Then in 2010 a contest was held and we were forced to try.Now days this is a common occurrence and this El Nio guys have been doing it every week. Onwards and upwards, the progression of #bigwavesurfing right now is beyond comprehension.Twigsurfboards.com - 9'0 x 21" x 3 1/4" @don_montgomery @visslasurf @bos_sport @isurus_wetsuits @futuresfins @hurricanesurf @calisons @esharkforce @acesnspadesbar

Thank you to the @wsl for putting on an incredible event.@billykemper and the rest of the finalists you are my Hero's, the level of commitment it took to catch a set wave out there in all that wind was inconceivable.
