“I remember getting hucked over the lip, and trying to get a big breath of air as I went down…”
Yeah, you can guess where this story is going. Before Shane Dorian was the big-wave superstar he is today, he was a grom. And while he was a grom, the late legends Todd Chesser and Brock Little took him out to one of Oahu’s Outer Reefs in 25-foot surf. Needless to say, the experience stuck with him. As Brock told him later that night: “Today you realized you can die doing this. This is the real deal.” Hit play to hear the whole story. (And click here for their whole conversation.

The first-ever all-digital, all-female Red Bull Magnitude big-wave event window has come to a close, and Keala Kennelly has won the top honors: the veteran Hawaiian hellwoman took home the award for Overall Performer.
As a refresher, Magnitude was a three-month event, challenging female chargers to surf the biggest waves possible during the Hawaiian season. The prize purse totaled $40k – KK took home $25k for her Overall Performer award, while Emi Erickson and Makani Adric won $5k each for Best Ride at Waimea Bay and Overall Runner-Up, respectively. KK also won a cherry-on-top $5k for Biggest Wave, thanks to her Outer Reef bomb on Oahu. And Makani bagged another $5k for the People’s Choice award, presented by Yeti.
