Surfers tackle monster waves at Maui's Jaws Challenge – video

Surfers tackle 15-metre swells at Jaws surf spot on the WSL's Big Wave Tour – an event that was later put on hold because the waves had become too dangerous for the surfers in Maui, Hawaii. The 15-metre swell's large wave period (the time gap between waves) meant each wave had bone-crushing intensity.  Hawaiian Keala Kennelly was able to win the women's event during a brutal session. When competition resumed, Billy Kemper took out the men’s title for a third time in a row.
