Possibly when you see him charging backhand at Pipe like this, 
I have seen many pics of the man charging but this is my favorite!
Big call 
Who else is up there?
AA
PS: IK is riding a hand glassed 9'4 Ripper proto
Thats awesome allright , i guess if we had consistent big surf in Oz we would see guys like Jamie Mitchell , Billie Watson charging on SUP ,plenty of others too no doubt.
AA, I presume you mean SUP big wave rider.
I reckon the guys that charge Dungeons in Cape town on SUPs are crazier. Cold Water, sharks, etc. But Ikaika is the man in Hawaii!
Who else is up there? 
Actually I saw grainy footage once of Goatman on a ski at Makaha ( Longy ) when it was farkin huge - one section he free fell about 15 feet into the pit and made it. That was crazy!
That shot of Pipe is awesome.
Laird still gets my vote.. along with Dave, Robby, Bonga and Ekolu just to mention a few.
We might even see Pete Cabrina and Jason Polakow pushing their new boards to the limits soon.
BTW.. I saw some sneek pics of JP's new boards today hot out of the mold... Nice.. 
DJ
Laird for me as well.
We (Australia) get waves similar to that, it's just a matter of getting it on the right day and then being able to get to them. Vicco has some bombies and 2 Mile down the west coast that IMO are heavier. Guys tow surf them all the time, we just need some nut to paddle (SUP) into 'em.
there is a time and place for everything
Hey DJ,
I know you love a GROUP HUG but just pick one lol.
Phill
Brendon,
When the Bombies down here get that farKin big, I will be watching from the beach.
I hear 2 mile gets huge but not in that range.
Anyone got a pic or 2 of 2 mile working.
Phill??

wooohoooo
there is a time and place for everything
Here's one of me in my heyday:
there is a time and place for everything Here's one of me in my heyday: I like your style !!
Jamie Mitchell is a freak!! How many guys can win long distance and short distance paddle races and SUP and Tow massive freezing cold horrendous Maverics - bloody hell!!
That is one scarey looking wave!!
Ok, that last vid of Jamie was a tow-in so it doesn't count for this thread. It was still a heavy wave tho
Not to worry - here is one from Jamies web site. It's not as big but is still a pretty good effort.
I also saw a nice pic of James "Billy" Watson charging a nice solid one recently (in Oz). I can't find the pic so if anyone has it why don't you post it? The more pics of guys charging on SUPs the better, in my books.
