Kelly Slater and Ross Williams commentate brutal Waimea! (January 27)

Waimea was brutal today. Jaws is getting flogged too, which you’ll see more of shortly, but Waimea is bumpy, angry, and drunk with closeouts. And, it was still packed. On a day when Kelly Slater, Ross Williams and Mason Ho couldn’t get out, those that did make it into the lineup certainly weren’t relaxing. Luke Shepardson scratched into a wave that both Kelly and Ross call “as big as you could surf” at Waimea. Watch some highlights above, with commentary from Kelly and Ross.
