The World Doesn’t Deserve Jackson and Shion

Bunch and Crawford go wild at Rockies — and no one’s watching. Yet.

At the time of publishing, Karaage Seas has nary over 4,000 views on YouTube.

A lot is wrong in the world right now, and this low view count can be added to a long, winding list of such things.

Over the span of a month, the freshly axed Jackson Bunch and man of the hour, Shion Crawford, logged many hours at Rocky Point — a wave that looks deceptively soft on screen. It isn’t.

Condensed into roughly four minutes are just some of the highlights from four weeks spent surfing another North Shore reef that tends to get overshadowed by Pipeline, despite easily being a world-class wave.

If you flipped the footage horizontally, you’d be hard-pressed to tell them apart. Jackson and Shion surf with a shared urgency and energy — fast transitions, tight arcs, and stratospheric airs, including one that earned Shion $5,000 and a spot at Stab High Japan during The Bum Rush Masters earlier this year.

A must-watch.
