- About this Image
- Extreme windsurfer Jason Polakow tells the tale of his relationship to Hawaiian super-wave Jaws. Along for the ride: Local legend Robbie Naish. Jason: “From my first encounter with Jaws some 20 years ago, my life since that day has forever been changed. It’s kind of strange how one wave can shape your life and become your sole obsession. Once you’ve been bitten you become part of that wave forever, or at least until you get married!”
