HOWARD: WELCOME BACK.
IT TAKES A LOT MORE TALENT AND
MAYBE A LOT MORE GUTS TO RIDE
THESE MONSTER WAVES.
THIS AWARD CELEBRATES THE
BIGGEST AND THE BEST -- NOT
NECESSARILY THE BIGGEST, BUT THE
BEST WAVE RIDDEN ON OAHU'S NORTH
SHORE.
JOINING ME IS A FORMER WINNER.
NOT ONLY A COMPETITOR THIS TIME,
BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TWO ENTRIES
IN.
THE TOP 10 YOU MUST BE STOKED.
I AM PSYCHED.
IT IS HARD ENOUGH TO GET JUST
ONE ENTRY IN THE TOP 10.
I HAVE TWO.
I AM REALLY SHOCKED.
HOWARD: WE HAVE A SHORT LIP CLIP
OF YOU A FEW YEARS AGO.
PERFECT BARREL, GOODBYE.
GETTING BLOWN OUT ON THE
BACKSIDE, THAT IS SWEET.
THANK YOU.
HOWARD: I WANT TO TALK TO YOU
ABOUT SURFING BIG WAVES.
IF WE WENT BACK A COUPLE OF
YEARS AGO WHEN JOHN JOHN WON,
YOU SAID YOU SHOWED UP TO THE
BEACH OF THAT DAY AND WENT, MY
LORD, I AM GOING TO DIE.
SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
[LAUGHTER]
IF IT IS TOO BIG, WE ARE
GOING
TO USE JET SKIS IN THIS ONE,
MAN, IT IS GOOD TO BE HUGE.
SURE ENOUGH, WE WOKE UP AND IT
WAS 25-30 FOOT HAWAIIAN.
LEGIT LIKE TELEPHONE POLES
COMING IN.
OH MY GOSH.
IT WAS PRETTY HEAVY.
HOWARD: TALK TO ME ABOUT RIDING
WAVES.
DOES ANYBODY PAY MUCH HAVE THAT
SAME VIBE?
OBVIOUSLY, YOU HAVE A
BROTHERHOOD AND YOU LOOK OUT FOR
EACH OTHER.
THAT WHEN YOU ARE OUT THERE
WRITING THE WAVE, IT IS GAME
ON.
GAME ON.
IT IS THE SAME AS A THREE TO
FOUR FOOT WAVE.
I AM GOING.
THE WAVE LOOKS PERFECT, I JUST
BLACK OUT AND
GO.
HOWARD: DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT
HAPPENS AFTER THE FACT?
SOMETIMES YOU DON'T.
SOMETIMES YOU ARE LOOKING BACK
IN LIKE THEM I WAS JUST
HAPPENED?
HOWARD: LET'S TALK ABOUT THE
EVENT.
THIS IS KIND OF LIKE THAT
OSCARS, THE
ESPYS, THE EMMYS FOR
SURFING.
THE WINNER WILL BE NAMED THE
WINNER OF THE DECADE.
NOT ONLY DO YOU HAVE YOUR WAVE
FROM THIS YEAR AND FROM A YEAR
AGO, BUT A THREE-TERM ENTRY HERE
.
YES, SEEMS LIKE I KEEP
GETTING CLOSE TO WINNING THE TOP
10 EVERY YEAR IN THE CONTEST.
THAT IS THE COOL THING.
YOU CAN GET THE WAVE OF YOUR
LIFE AND YOU MAY NOT HAVE AN
ENTRY.
HOWARD: YOU MEAN ME?
YEAH, YOU!
HOWARD: ME, I DON'T THINK SO.
COOL THING IS THAT THE EVENT
[LAUGHTER]
, THE AVERAGE SURFER LIKES TO GO
DOWN AND TOIL AROUND ON THE TWO
FOOTERS, NOW THEY CAN COME OUT
AND HANG OUT WITH YOU DUDES AND
TALK ABOUT IT.
YES, IT WILL BE AWESOME.
I AM A DISTANT TO SEE WHO WINS
THE WAVE OF THE DECADE.
I THINK THERE ARE A LOT OF
RAD
WE ARE ABOUTS TO WITNESS.
I AM REALLY PSYCHED AND WE ARE
GOING TO HAVE A GREAT TIME.
MANY $5,000 FOR THE WAVE WINNER.
-- $25,000 FOR THE WINNER.
HOWARD: DECIDES DURING YOURSELF
UP ON SURVIVOR, WHAT IS
NEXT FOR
YOU?
WE WILL JUST KEEP FILMING ON
MY YOUTUBE CHANNEL, MAKE VIDEOS
A WEEK, TWO VIDEOS A WEEK,
WISHING CONTENT AND ENJOYING
LIFE, MAKING THE BEST OUT OF
EVERYDAY.
HOWARD: THE LIFE OF A PERSON OR
FOR.
THERE YOU GO.
HOWARD: PRO SURFER.
IT IS A TOUGH JOB.
[LAUGHTER]
SATURDAY, YOU CAN
CHECK IT OUT.
IF ANYTHING ELSE, YOU CAN COME
