Jaws is so goddamn insane when it breaks. The fact that they give a lot of scoring points to take a wave where you get obliterated underscores how hard it is to surf it.

Kai Lenny landing this 15 foot airdrop was one of the craziest things of the day:

That's fucking epic. I can't imagine. My son and I have been catching some waves recently, and the power of even small ones is amazing. That's like Mount Everest chasing after you.
