"This is gonna’ be the best wave of my life."
The Ocean Pacific has been alive with pleasure for multiple weeks now delighting surfers from Hawaii to California whilst terrifying beachfront homeowners. So much action. Nature’s gorgeous hammer. And any surfer, worth her salt, has certainly paddled into the XL and, likely, cosplayed as a Waimea or Jaws charger.
I certainly did, yesterday mid-morning, paddling out the front into what Surfline was calling 6 – 10 but it clearly being 20 – 30.
Oh yes, I was brave duck-diving those walls of water on my Album twin, jaw set, spinning on the first inside corner I could and getting an early score on the board but not as brave as the baby who was towed into a monster at Jaws dealing ageism a heavy blow.
The youngest person ever to catch one of the Maui beasts at 12-years-old, back in 2021, “Baby” Steve Roberson was towed into another, Wednesday, by the now legendary Billy Kemper.
“It was like a 40-foot back or maybe bigger,” Baby’s dad, Kaleo Roberson, told Hawaii News Now.
“I just saw this barrel coming and I knew I was like okay, here we go. I was like, this is gonna’ be the best wave of my life,” interjected Baby.
The beast, which initially looked like it was going to barrel, began to clamp forcing the extremely young man to straighten out and cop a heavy beating.
“It felt like I just got hit by a car or something right in my side and it put me into the water so fast and shot me up into the air and then I landed and got sucked over the falls,” he said.
After inflating his vest and getting bashed around a bit, Baby was rescued by a ski and declared, “The feeling like when I popped up is like a feeling like I’ve never had before. I just felt so alive and it was gnarly.”
I, for one, know how he felt-ish.
Some might assume there is sexual tension here but not me
God I love this shit! BRAVO Troll!
“I was banned in 3 cities on Yahoo 15 years ago for rendering the comment board on Yahoo inoperable due to high volume overposting of meaningless letters and numbers.”
This doesn’t sound like an achievement to brag about, but you do you.
In the immortal words of surfing legend Bodie:
“Nobody puts baby in a corner”
There you go again. Making something up in your head. “You Guys” like we discussed anything. {It was just me} Impending post {I casually mentioned it in an email about something else}
Your free content is a curated affair.
You keep on saying you’re just in it for the fun, but your actions, tears and emails suggest the total opposite.
There are few things in life more enjoyable than a battle of titans! Solid work boys!
I’m highly offended. He’s a total Newbie.

Seriously Dude, stop with the victim mentality and move forward. I’ll tell you exactly why (and if) I removed a comment. I got no reason to brush anything under the rug. One, it’s never that important! and two I really just dont care enough about petty little things or worry about how I’m perceived in this role.
Remember you’re the one telling me that The Gorilla (VONR) somehow can hack your account and Otto installed some form of tracking malware on your phone. What the hell you want me to think??
Re “Quit being so paranoid and go get a mental checkup” I haven’t been that blunt with you, in fact I think I’ve listened, given you time and been patient.
Take a break, it’s consuming you.

I think Kanoa is a sick commentator!
agreed — Kainoa McGee, pro bodyboarder
At what point you reckon he decides he don’t wanna be called “Baby” no more? 16? 18? Never?
I just hope he makes the CT and Joey Turpel creams his honey voice commentating Baby’s hand jams
Get him to move over to Australia once he’s burnt out from a too steep trajectory in life therefore indulging in ice and hookers and we’ll call him Yabby.
Negs why did my post about the Cortes Bank get deleted?
Most likely because it was simultaneously homophobic and gay Xox

@beefnbeer:disqus is currently going through some issues in regards to big waves and his fitness and I didnt want @Trollformerlyknownasjackmeoff getting offended, crying and downvoting me again. If I potentially teased poor old B&B.

I emailed Chas & Derek your comment and didn’t want a discussion about it pre-story on the wrong thread.
Not sure if it’s even supposed to be public yet so no worries.
or C Its so top secret the producers are paying hush money to surf forum moderators.
pro tip: when there is a “D, all of the above”, then always pick “D, all of the above “
How’d you know?
IG live from one of the safety team on the boat after it got back to San Diego. Fifteen minutes touring the boat, with a bunch of jet skis being taken off the boat by crane. He said what they were doing. Big open ocean boat. Bill Sharp was on it.
It’s on Instagram

Oh! I love Cortes Bank stories – it’s been a while so I hope someone scored big again!

Can hardly believe I read it first on freshly bought up surfer.com – it’s been a while since I hung out at surfermag.com.
I thought Surfer Mag was like a Ghost ship sailing the sea with no crew aboard. Hopefully there were some paddlers.
Well, at 96 Mel Brooks just got towed in again to the jaws of History of the World.

It’s expected that the numbers of children riding the local monster waves will increase dramatically…
Sheesh, Peahi is being encroached upon by what can only be described as a “giant Goggans beanie”.
BOOM! ZOOM! SMACK!

They will be farming rich Haoles rather than pineapples from now on
