What it’s about. Never in the history of surfing has the ocean roared as hard and as full-on as Wednesday the 28th of January 1998.

Meanwhile on Oahu's North Shore, Ross Clarke-Jones, Tony Ray, Cheyne Horan, Ken Bradshaw, Shawn Briley, and Noah Johnson rode the biggest waves in the history of surfing at outside Log Cabins.
