Glacier Surfing Alaska

admin — Tue, 02 Feb 2010 01:14:06 +0000

World champion big wave surfers, Garrett McNamara and Kealii Mamala rode into surfing history last week when they towed into a monster tsunami created by Child’s Glacier in South-Central Alaska.

The creator/producer, Ryan Casey, “disovered” the wave in 1995, while on location shooting in Alaska. Then after finishing his last film, Quest, a documentary on big wave surfing, he showed Garrett the wave… that was six months ago. So after a short scout in June, we went up in August to film this…

The biggest swell in several years lashed the Hawaiian Islands on December 7, 2009 and Pea’hi (a.k.a. Jaws) on Maui came to life for the cleanest tow-surfing session in ages. An all-star crew was on it, resulting a a number of waves which may figure in the 2009/10 Billabong XXL Big Wave Awards. Plus wipeouts, some really good wipeouts.
