Here are some videos of what is being called a historic paddle-in session at Jaws. People are saying this is the most game-changing thing in surfing in years. There is a new rule at Jaws where if people are paddling in, then no tow-ins are allowed.

Shane Dorian, the Walsh brothers and a few others have been keeping the skis away on these big swells. The tow-in scene got out of control and they implemented this new program. Those guys will still tow, but they are raising the bar on when it’s time to tow and when not.

Today is supposed to be bigger, stay tuned for more videos and an interview with Ian Walsh.
