The Inertia

From the same drone videographer who brought you macking Pipeline from above comes this exploration of XXL Jaws on Maui. Eric Sterman seems to have a penchant for big waves and filming them from a variety of brilliant angles. Jaws has seen huge swells of late and this video captures some of the world’s best big wave surfers getting both barreled and brutally beaten.

This particular session was not the easiest as a number of waves were a little too fast and closed out, which left surfers with no choice but to get clobbered–a dangerous proposition at such a notorious spot. However, Sterman puts the viewer in spots you may have never seen before with his drone–from river mouth angles to above cliff tops to the peak and the shoulder.
