Maui Big Waves Jaws

Our big wave demo was done during what turned out to be the largest swell in 2008 – the waves were huge and the surf break “ Jaws “ was going off – Jaws is right down the street from the studio and we often go there when the waves are breaking just to watch the action and be a part of the excitement – There are loads of helicopters and jet skis buzzing around the waves – Laird Hamilton lives in our little village of Haiku he is one of the alpha male surfers on the island along with the infamous Ian Walsh and many others – They are often found surfing the 60 to 80 foot waves that break here during the winter ! – During this demo we decided to pay respect to the winter energy by creating one of these monster waves! – We had an incredible time making this piece – the video really explains the age old process of making a glass wave! – Enjoy and e mail me if you want a glass wave for your house – I can make you one! – mauiglassblowing@gmail.com
