Big Wave Safety - Surfing Jaws & Big Wave Tow Surfing with an Emphasis on K38 Water Safety.
The art of
Surfing Jaws may be
glamorous from the spectator's point of view, however we would like
to stress that Tow Surfing is an extremely dangerous sport that can lead to
serious injury or death, not limited to loss of equipment . We are not
promoting this activity as an opportunity for viewers to perceive this
as a 'thrill ride'. The activities portrayed on this website are
performed by professionals. Viewers are warned to adhere to all local
boating laws and regulations and warning labels on any equipment, and
to enter into this activity at their own risk. This website serves to
inform and educate others the seriousness of the risk and years of
dedicated training and experience necessary to engage in some of the
most dangerous Big Waves in the world.

With extensive backgrounds in professional water safety, Alfredo & Kaleo have set their focus on acquiring
sponsorship from small and major companies alike to ensure they have the proper safety equipment and storage facilities to support the very dangerous sport and art form of
surfing Jaws and Tow Surfing. In turn, we would like to give back to our sponsorship by using their logos and brand names on our attire & equipment, by doing so we would foster brand name familiarity for these companies. Both are on the
movie “Jaws” released in 2004 at the Maui Film Festival with the possibility of release in theaters around the world and have been featured in
Magazines, The Discovery Channel, and Extreme
Hawaii. (Big
