Homem Piexe is a series for Canal Off in Brazil that follows bodysurfer Henrique Pistilli throughout the Pacific as he surfs with the world's best bodysurfers. Season 2 focused on bodysurfing big waves in Tahiti and Maui. On Maui, a crew of 5 bodysurfers, including myself, swam out to the giant waves of Peahi and attempted to bodysurf waves that were previously thought unbodysurfable. It was my responsibility to provide local knowledge of the break and to attempt to bodysurf the wave with the guys.
