00:02With swells heading in multiple directions, Trevor Carlson vies to catch as many waves as possible, at every break possible.
00:10Over the next three days, he may get his opportunity.
00:14Got my boards, and I went to Maui. I did the same program of driving from the airport to the
00:19beach, paddling out.
00:20El Nino in full swing sends Epic Surf to all prime Pacific destinations.
00:26Rideable conditions are never a guarantee. Weighing the chance to compete against the logistics to surf elsewhere is a painstaking
00:33dilemma.
00:34A big goal of mine that I've always wanted to do is finish the big wave surfers' dream of a
00:39trifecta.
00:40In the Pacific, that would be surfing Jaws on Maui, flying to Mavericks, surfing Mavericks to San Francisco,
00:47and then flying down to Toros Santos, Mexico, which is an island on the coast about an hour outside of
00:52Ensenada.
00:53Within a 72-hour period, he manages to follow the swell from Peaje to Mavericks down to Toros Santos,
01:01going from surfboard to airplane with every new break.
01:05So after flying from Jaws to San Francisco, I surfed Mavericks that night, and the next day flew down to
01:13Toros Santos.
01:14It wasn't giant waves, but it was a lot of fun, and it was my first time going to Toros.
01:19And the next morning, I'm in the airport flying home to go down to Jaws Swell,
01:23and it looked like it was going to be the biggest swell of the whole year, and the biggest swell
01:26of my lifetime, really.
01:28So while I'm in the airport headed back to Hawaii, I get a green light for the Toros competition,
01:34and I'm already in the airport leaving Hawaii.
01:37Tomorrow, I'll do my third time back to the west coast this week.
01:43During his flight back to Maui, the Pacific swell has been upgraded,
01:47and the Toros Santos Challenge is called on, giving Trevor just enough time to chase the swell from Jaws to
01:53Mexico.
01:56And the witness, that Eagle has won 200,000 cars in Jaques.
01:57And the power spring mamy more than 200 miles of cities twice a long time from within arriver now.
01:58It was flexible geography.
