Words by Ethan Davis

Reading Time: < 1 minutes

That was quite the corridor at 2:30 minutes.

Billy Kemper, Luca Padua and Jake Maki recently went on a 4-day strike mission to Mex for a sand-bottomed vision quest. “Big barrels, crazy wipeouts, and nonstop laughs,” surmised the Big Wave World Tour Champ prosaically on IG.

Good viewing for sadists.
