On eve of Gold Medal showdown at Teahupoo, world-record surfer reveals an even more dangerous wave in Japan!

A place where one slip-up could put you in your tomb, your death mask like a tomato surprise that just exploded.

The adventures of the marathon-talking Dylan Graves in his pursuit of the wildest waves on earth have been well-documented on BeachGrit. 

Who could blame us for falling for a man so fascinatingly alive, and who carries a year-round healthy bronze glow, who puts women in a sweat and men who’d formerly never been shackled by another man, under his spell. No wave too big, too out of the way, cold or, in the case of a joint called God’s Crack in Japan, too dangerous. 

We’ve come close to losing Dylan Graves to his passion for dangerous waves before, of course. Only seven months ago, he almost fell to his death exploring “extreme” Brittany, a peninsula in the north-west of France with two thousand miles of surfable coastline.

In today’s video, which falls under the Dylan Graves YouTube channel and not Surfline, our Puerto Rican hero with the little bones but big muscles challenges himself to ride God’s Crack, a wave where one slip-up could put you in your tomb, your death mask like a tomato surprise that just exploded. 

Essential.
