The Unknown Jewel Of Female Big Wave Surfing, Laura Enever
Occy can finally call it a hot seat.
The richness and variety of Laura Enever’s surfing remained a mystery until the Pe’ahi challenge. Here Occ presents the now-known jewel of female big wave surfing. The same gal who Albee Layer told us a day before may give favourites Paige Alms (who won) and Keala Kennelly a run worth fighting for. Far less familiar with the break, she saw Jaws 30 minutes before her heat, borrowed Greg Long’s board and entered the BWT event after an invite from Peter Mel. Now, ask yourself, can a charming gal with pink hair be that fearless? And does the way Laura swung, went over the falls and came back for more in her heat make you feel inadequate? Big wave surfing, although ran by an elite class of individuals, is no attempt at being fancy. It takes grit, bravado and worthyness–something which when combined with Laura is frighteningly sexy.
