Summary A severe storm developed in the North Pacific and if the weather pattern continues it could produce waves in excess of fifty feet if it hits Pe'ahi. To many, Pe'ahi is considered the best big wave break in the world; no surprise surfers venture from all corners of the globe to surf there. Legendary big wave surfer, Garrett McNamara and wife Nicole, live close and make the short flight to Maui to catch the waves at sunrise. After arriving, he struggles to find his groove and goes through a couple board switches before deciding to go with the jet: a board equipped with a miniature motor that powers two aluminum impellers specifically designed to help surfers to paddle up to four times faster. Garrett pulls the cord, gets an incredible barrel but whitewater washes him out and drags him underwater. After being taken out by another wave, the rescue team reaches him and takes him to safety. That night, they go to native surfer, Rodney Kilborn's house for dinner with Greg Long. The following morning, they head back for another day of surf but the line up is crowded. Pe'ahi is producing massive waves and a boat unsuccessfully outruns a wave and flips over. With quick action and teamwork, they are able to get the boat to safety and flipped back over. After, Grant Baker catches one of the biggest waves of the day. For the rest of the swell, Pe'ahi does not disappoint, leaving everyone in awe.
