AIN'T THAT SWELL
GSNT: Fiji 2012 – Sean Doherty on the Greatest Big Wave Cone Feast Ever, Why the ASP Turned its Back on History, and the Set Wave that Nearly Ended Deadly
25 Nov 2022
20-30 foot and not a drop of water out of place! Has there ever been a more consistent or perfect big wave cone-off like the one that bombarded Cloudbreak Reef on June 8 2012, right in the middle of the waiting period for the Volcom Fiji Pro? Fwaaark no! It was one the books! Thankfully 29 Gold Cone Piece Award Winning Surf Journo Sean Doherty was there to cover both the magnitude of the day as it played out and the mechanics behind the ASP's decision TO NOT send the best surfers in the world into the maw of history. A missed opportunity or a genuine life-saving call? Have a listen and make up your own mind. Oh yeah, and Deadly also shares his story of being caught inside by the set of the century. Much to love here!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
