“First paddle wave at Jaws ends up being one of the best waves of my life.”
On the 27th of December 2024 I caught my first proper paddle wave at Peahi, Jaws in Maui on a borrowed surfboard. Due to permitting issues the Annual Jaws Event wasn’t able to run so the local crew banned together to run a digital competition spanning 120 days over the winter season. On the 15th of March there was an awards night in Maui where I was awarded Best Paddle wave of the season based on the single highest scoring ride. Kipp Caddy
