Kipp Caddy – Jaws
"First paddle wave at Jaws ends up being one of the best waves of my life."Â
On the 27th of December 2024 I caught my first proper paddle wave at Peahi, Jaws in Maui on a borrowed surfboard. Due to permitting issues the Annual Jaws Event wasn't able to run so the local crew banned together to run a digital competition spanning 120 days over the winter season. On the 15th of March there was an awards night in Maui where I was awarded Best Paddle wave of the season based on the single highest scoring ride. Kipp Caddy
Madeira: Biggest Swell of the Decade?
Jardim do Mar in Madeira has earned its reputation as one of the most intense spots for big wave surfing. The waves there are legendary—huge, powerful, and very unpredictable. When you get someone like Nic Von Rupp and his crew involved, you know it's going to go off. They've been pushing the boundaries of big wave surfing, and the recent swell was nothing short of epic.
Madeira’s coastline is known for producing some of the heaviest waves in the world, often hidden away from the mainstream media. This recent swell was one of the heaviest in years makes it even more monumental. These waves aren’t just about size—they're about raw power and the sheer intensity of what it takes to take them on.
