Every wave has a story to tell. A wave at Waimea Bay that Shane Dorian waited 15 years for. An uncharted mile-long left glimpsed from a mail plane in remote Micronesia. Surfing alone in a 60-knot Southern Ocean Squall. A father sharing a wave at Bells Beach with his 10-year old son. Paddling over a frozen 30-footer on the other side of the world. A wave that keeps Kelly Slater awake at night, and the first wave at dawn after sleeping on the sand the night before. The Ninth Wave tells the stories of the modern ages greatest surfing images.
