Ian Walsh might just be the most consummate professional big wave surfer in the world. Not only is he committed to hunting every major swell event in the Pacific, he is obsessed with being the most prepared, motivated and switched-on surfer in the lineup, bar none. From Jaws to Mavericks and beyond, the dedication Walsh shows to his craft is without compare. He’s fit and he’s focussed, he comes with a crew that includes his brothers DK and Shaun, who ensue that he can push the limits as far and as safely as possible, and he works closely with his shaper, Keith Teboul, who also makes Kai Lenny’s boards, to ensure that his equipment his dialled in with Formula 1 precision.
Don’t just take our word for it though, press play to enjoy My Last Two Winters, a deep dive into the wonderful world of all things Ian Walsh, who alongside Lenny is spearheading the Maui push at a level befitting the island that’s home to Jaws. Enjoy!

I saw Ian's Mavericks wave on Powerlines, and it stood out to me beyond anything that day. I have never seen anyone make a wave from that spot in the bowl. I've been watching and surfed out there for close to 20 years. The way he described that drop...from the land angle you can see how technical and perfect his surfing was. You can also see that THAT one particular wave was 100% makable barrel and the guy who burned him likely ruined what would have been one the greatest rides ever out there. Really made me angry the first time I saw it.

I’m at the gym here in Michigan, looking out the window at a 5 story building, listening to Ian describe those waves. And I’m thinking, “Ian’s basically launching himself off the top of that building, which is moving towards me at 70 feet per second.” I don’t know how you guys do it.

There are simple meditations that take you deeper than being in the pit of a wave. And those meditations do not rely on external factors such as here within an inch of getting squashed. It’s just interesting to point it out better where is Ian obviously found this focus from big wave surfing but it is not the only way to get there and as matter fact it’s the very strange way to get there.

😈😈😈😈 i know surfboards are suppose to completely slick .... but i come up with a concept for car racing using slight amounts of deference in air consists to generate grip within the air , i call it finger print gripping. ... i have not heard or seen any area's of my idea being used which may mean its useless .... so maybe there could be infractions of that design used in big wave surfing ... i mean it would take off a fraction of time , mayhe micro seconds of the viscosity of breaking the waters enternal nature , creating better grip .... 😈😈😈😈

There are Great whites watching to but they think about watching not about stopping what their watching, I have seen Sharks swim inside waves to watch Ppl, they do that to- like their in their going down the wave.
