Hawaii (Ski Press)-This came in early last evening and absolutely riveted me to my seat.

It’s a big wave skiing – that’s right, skiing! – video sent over by Salomon USA’s Mike Aicher, with this short note.

“Just wanted to let you all see what some of our winter sport athletes have been brainstorming, and pushing the limits of what is possible.  It may not be for everyone, but if you are a fan of wind, waves, snow, or air, this is pretty crazy to watch…..

Mike Douglas and Cody Townsend are two of our Big Mountain Alpine ski athletes, and they spent some time working on getting out in the Maui surf to be among the first to be able to say that they have Skied Big Waves….

Enjoy the video.”

  1. Big waves? Those aren't big waves. A lot of hype over nothing. Rick D was right--why not just use water skis?
  2. Why didn't you guys just use water (slalom) skis? It seems like they would be a lot stronger and easier to carve? The video looks great...what a blast!
