Australian madman Zac Haynes spent 6-months chasing the world’s most dangerous waves with his friends for this film, “Pearl Moon”. As you might imagine, that chase resulted in some serious carnage.
“The session at the left ended in a pretty heavy way with losing a ski to the rocks and Jesse [Carter] snapping his leg in a couple of places,” says Haynes in the description alongside this film. “Followed by cold water and shallow ledges in Europe, plenty of stormy cold days battened down at the pub, but the windows in-between fronts with clean winds and solid swell will always be worth the wait. Finishing off in the tropical paradise of Tahiti scoring endless pits at the world’s most perfect slab, what more could you ask for than scoring Chopes with just you and a few mates out?”
What more could we ask for? Well, we can think of a few things, and none of them look like 10-foot Chopes. But then again, we don’t live for waves of consequence. Click play above to watch a handful of Aussie big wave surfers that must have a few screws loose.
