Ah, good times. Seems like yellow is an unlucky colour.

That sequence of KK is wild , that wave is so thick , tons and tons of ocean . Looking at her harness leggie set up , just wondering if there’s a quick release pin ?

KK has made a career at getting messed up it seems. I wonder when you decide to give it up?

Also, so what size are people calling the waves were? 20 foot? 4 foot hawaiian?

Is there a good edit of the best waves out there?

When I first saw KK's harness (whereby her leggy attaches to her back, not her ankles) it reminded me of a parachute.

Turns out she could've used one.

Personal fave is when she went left at 0 55.

I think we need a KK highlight reel - she stole the show.

Knew a guy years ago who went left no matter what the wave was doing. ;) Much fun to watch.

But not at 20ft.

But I should also say, credit where it is due. She was out there and had a serious dig at waves I can't even imagine trying to surf. And she kept going back for more. Hats off, hard core.

Yep, 99.99% of surfers haven't launched over the top of a wave like the really big one she dropped out of the sky on.

Brave for sure.
