| "Whether
surfing the waves in Hawaii or building surfing
equipment, the Willis Bros. are in a league of
their own."
-Chris Malloy
Professional Surfer |
Ross Clark Jones, Tony Ray,
Milton Willis, Michael Willis, and Ted Schmidt made
history by surfing some the of the world's largest
waves ever paddled into to this date. These brave
souls accomplished this during Hawaii's first ever
condition black. (Illegal to surf, beaches closed)
On this day in history, Biggest
Wednesday-Condition Black, the Willis Bros. surfed
twice. Once in the morning (when the swell had reached
full impact) and again in the afternoon (when the
swell had dropped to 50ft.+). The only
ones to challenge the extreme high surf twice.
