Скачать или смотреть Late Drop - The Big Wave Podcast: Maverick’s Swell of the Decade Roundtable

Jamie Mitchell, Pete Mel, Kai Lenny and Twiggy Baker: Mav’s, slabs, outer boils and bean burritos.

Call it a debriefing. They’re normally required by military soldiers or spies after a completed mission — and any big-wave surfer surely knows that some sessions can feel like a war zone. That swell of the decade a couple weeks ago at Maverick’s? Yeah, that deserved a debrief. So in this very special episode of the Late Drop, Jamie Mitchell patched in Peter Mel, Kai Lenny and Grant Twiggy Baker to get an in depth and very entertaining talk about what exactly went into that day. From forecast to flights, prep to warmup sesh, first wave jitters to “we could’ve been deepers.” Grab a beverage and join these four fascinating men. Pardon Twiggy’s formal attire, and around minute 16:35, notice Peter Mel’s face as Kai Lenny describes an unnamed guy that passed out all 20 of his coveted Taco Bell bean burritos. [Hint: it was Peter.]
