00:02The more you travel and the more you surf new waves, the more you just understand how waves
00:06work. Because every wave moves differently. Every wave requires different equipment. As you go and
00:11travel to different waves and you understand the way the water moves in Pico Alto versus the way
00:15the water moves at Mavericks and the way the water moves at Jaws or Waimea, just going there and
00:22experiencing all these different places. And in Big Wave Surfing, he who has experienced all of
00:26these different locations, they can take all of that knowledge and put it in to how they're going
00:30to approach Jaws or Mavericks. And that's what makes the best big wave surfer in the world,
00:36is the most experienced guy. In Trevor's experience, bringing the essential equipment
00:42is just as important as his training. Fins, wax, CO2 cartridges, platable vest,
00:53suits, booties, gloves. Got to have backups for backups for backups is when you show up
01:02somewhere and it's that moment and you need to have everything you have ready.
01:06These are the moments where the preparation is what makes you successful in the moment.
01:13And you only got to make a mistake a couple times to never want to make that mistake again
01:18to come unprepared.
