Re: Jaws wipeout- Richman
Did he let go on purpose or did something fail. Looked like he unhooked on purpose and maybe couldn't hold on?

He unhooked on purpose let the kite go so he could pure surf the wave without the kite pulling him tried to get in a good bottom turn but hit some nasty chop lost his edge. That must have hurt.

Unimaginable that someone can survive such a wipeout. Worst nightmare I can think of...

Re: Jaws wipeout -Jesse Richman
Wow, what a crash.
That force that smacks him down must be a lot...already squeezing a lot of air out of him...and then all the mass of water washing him.
No fun at all !
Glad he is ok after that.

Re: Jaws wipeout - Jesse Richman
I can’t even begin to fathom what that must be like. Would love to hear what he had to say about it.
