This week we sit down with legendary waterman Brett Lickle—a true pioneer in the world of big wave surfing, tow-in innovation, and ocean safety. From the early days of Maui’s legendary windsurf scene to towing into Jaws before it was even named, Brett shares stories from a lifetime spent pushing the limits across a multitude of ocean sports. We talk about the evolution of tow-in surfing, his longtime partnership with Laird Hamilton, and the unspoken responsibilities that come with being a safety driver in some of the heaviest conditions on Earth. Brett also opens up about the risks he’s taken, the rescues he's made, and the mindset required to survive in situations where everything is on the line. And at the end of the episode, Brett recounts one of the gnarliest days of his life—the day he and Laird got caught inside by a massive 100-foot wave at the infamous outer reef known as Pyramids.
