Puerto Escondido is a hell of a wave. Look at that thing, wouldja? It’s perfect. It’s a wave meant for giants. José Ramirez, while not a giant, is a Puerto local. He’s had his fair share of waves there, but sometimes, it’s just not meant to be. After trying very hard to beat the howling offshores, they get under his board and take him airborne before the lip and gravity decides he’s getting a little too high. The video is by the WSL Video Team, and it’s an entry in the TAG Heuer Wipeout of the Year category of the 2017 WSL Big Wave Awards.
