Strapped

the origins of tow-in surfing

For years, big wave riders have watched massive waves break on the outer reefs. The physical size and speed of these waves were far too great for conventional equipment and surfing techniques.

In 1992, eight watermen formed Strapped. Their goal was to develop a strategy which would enable them to safely break this barrier.

Tow-in surfing would be realized on one of the fiercest waves in the world... Peahi "Jaws" Maui.
