The big wave Peahi, better known as Jaws, has captivated the imaginations of humans around the world for well over a decade now. When a big North Pacific storm sends swell to the famed wave, on the island of Maui, Hawaii's north shore, there's bound to be an elite crew of big-wave surfers there to meet it.
In addition to recounting the history of surfing at Jaws, Nervous Laughter takes a deep dive into the friendships of renowned locals Albee Layer, Matt Meola, Dege O’Connell, Billy Kemper, and Kai Lenny, along with fellow Hawaiians and big-wave surfers Torrey Meister, Shane Dorian, Laird Hamilton, Dava Kalama, and John John Florence.
