Monster wave devours pro surfer

Poor Pedro Calado…he…almost…had it. Calado, from Rio de Janeiro, gets up on this epic big wave on Maui’s North Shore, makes a nice bottom turn, but then loses it all at just about the worst possible place — the top of the face as the inside section closes in. What happens next is an epic dose of spin cycle — just watch.

Want to see that wipeout one more time, in slow-mo? Okay:

And that’s why they call this place “Jaws.”
