Reminder: Cloudbreak Was Really Big

Do you have short term memory loss? If so, don’t fear, because here’s another cinematographic replay of what went down at Cloudbreak a couple of weekends ago. 

Ramon Navarro surfed what might be the biggest wave a Cloudbreak, ever. 

Kelly Slater skipped out on Keramas to slide into a nug. 

Kai Lenny traded in his hydrofoil for fins and a rope. 

Laurie Towner re-emphasised the absurdity of him being unsponsored

And Tom Lowe unexpectedly made the trip over from Mexico with nothing but a twice-repaired 9’6″ gun.

If you haven’t seen it before, then I’m unsure why you’re still down here reading, and even if you have seen it, watch it again and ask yourself the question of whether it really was bigger than the XXL swell back in 2012.
