The world's finest surfer showed up today, the new battle with what's turned out to be the biggest waves to hit this coast since 1946.

Hello everybody, I'm Stu Nehan, I'd like you to meet this young man, his name, Jeff Spakoli, and Jeff, congratulations to you.

Things look kind of rough out there today.

Well, I'll tell you still, I did battle some humongous waves.

You know, it's like I told the guy on ABC, dangerous, my business.

Let me ask you a question. When you get out there, the ever fear for your life will soon tell you surfing's not a sport.

It's a way of life, no hobby.

It's a way of looking at that way and saying, hey bud, let's party.

Wow.

Tuckies Jericho Beavis, Tuckies Jericho.

Tuckies Jericho Mama, Tuckies me.

Hello and welcome to Tuckies Jericho. It's the part of Thunder and Rock and Roll.

And hey, summer is almost officially here. So, how long do you do, and how about we hit the beach and the waves with pro surf or mat and viola?

You got any pointers? About height? Yeah, you're not ready for it.

I'm ready. Oh yeah? Okay, brah.

Re-start just about here. It stretches all the way down to there.

Re-? There's a reef? That's right.

So when the wave breaks here, don't be there. Are you going to get drilled?

Alright, Tuckies Jericho, alumni and famous superman, Chef Gordon introduced me to Matt when I was at Chef's house on Maui.

And Matt schooled me in the art of surfing. He's got shark stories, near-death experiences surfing, the biggest waves in the world in Hawaii.

You also hear how he came up with some of his famous tricks. Go online and check him out.

Matt Miole, M-E-O-L-A. He's a badass on a surf board. He defies gravity. He defies the law of aquatic averages.
