We knew that we had discovered...
1:16:11
...the real un-ridden realm.
1:16:26
Located on Maui's remote
North Coast...
1:16:29
... and requiring a long, dangerous
approach by sea, is Peahi...
1:16:33
... also known as Jaws.
1:16:38
Peahi revealed itself as
the big wave of the future.
1:16:42
And within its awesome
size and power...
1:16:44
... tow-in surfing came of age.
1:17:00
The difference between this wave and
Waimea is this is about five Waimeas.
1:17:05
You take Makaha, Waimea, Sunset,
Pipeline, Ka'ena Point, Mavericks...
1:17:11
...put them together in a pot,
that's what you get.
1:17:16
Like Waimea and Mavericks...
1:17:18
... Peahi featured its own crew
of groundbreaking pioneers.
1:17:22
In addition to Hamilton,
Doerner and Kerbox...
1:17:24
...were windsurfing champion
Dave Kalama...
1:17:29
... then Mike Waltze, Pete Cabrinha,
Mark Angulo...
1:17:33
... Rush Randle and Brett Lickle.
Known as "The Strap Crew"...
1:17:37
... these boys rewrote the rules of
big-wave surfing by riding waves...
1:17:41
... in a manner that was once
the realm of sheer fantasy.
1:17:52
Things that, previously,
they only dreamed of doing.
1:17:55
Things we only saw in animation,
suddenly, surfers were doing.
1:17:59
Now you're riding waves...
