Would you surf this wave? Makuakai Rothman, the reigning Big Wave Tour Champion, makes the drop during Round 1 at the Quiksilver in Memory of Eddie Aikau.
Surfing on his backhand, Couto manages to stay upright on one of the bombs of the day at the Eddie.
In the words of Ross Williams, "easily one of the worst wipeouts we've seen today."
The Brazilian charger air-drops from the top to the bottom of a bomb during his Round 1 Eddie heat.
