Over the past few years, the Jaws event has essentially become a kind of horrifying XXL tube shootout, with the expectation that competitors must thread train-tunnel-sized barrels if they want to advance—or at least go down trying. It’s a heavy proposition, and it was clear in the first heat that not everyone had the stomach for it today. Maui chargers continued to dominate their backyard today at the cbdMD Jaws Big Wave Championships. Congrats to @billykemper, who took home his fourth Pe’ahi trophy, and @paigealms, who won her third.

@italoferreira was out there first with the sun peaking over Comsat Hill. As the title front-runner, you’d rather surf first. Nothing worse than watching @gabrielmedina savage the lineup like a pitbull on a poodle and then have to pace the yard for 2 hours waiting to surf, knowing you have to match him. No, get it done. Get out there and swing the pressure back on Gabby. | For @seano888’s full @billabong Pipe Masters Day Two report, hit our link in bio. Photos by @chachfiles.
