As Carissa Moore, Lakey Peterson, and the rest of the women of the WSL World Tour arrive to Honolua Bay, Maui, so too does one of the biggest swells in recent memory. For Carissa, who grew up in Hawaii, big waves come more naturally. For Lakey, a terrifying wipeout earlier in her career lingers in her mind as she sets out to clinch the world title in a surf-off with Stephanie Gilmore. Meanwhile, on the North Shore, Julian Wilson and Jordy Smith prepare for battle at the Banzai Pipeline.
