Twiggy Baker on almost making the Puerto barrel of his life

“I had a barrel this morning that would’ve been the barrel of my life,” says Grant ‘Twiggy’ Baker in the afternoon of the early May Puerto swell. “It spat so hard that I got blown off my board.” Such claims don’t come lightly from a gent with such a decorated Big Wave resume as Twiggy Baker. The footage contained within almost defies comprehension. So big, so round, so clean. May sure was a magical time in Mexico. Bravo Puerto Escondido, you magnificent piece of sand you.
