Kerby Brown Gives a Tour of a Supremely Terrifying Wave: The Right

Kerby Brown likes to surf big slabs in Western Australia, and there’s no other wave quite like The Right.

There aren’t too many waves on this watery planet that instill more fear in a surfer’s heart than The Right. When it’s on — like really and truly on — it’s not a place for the faint of heart. Which is good, because the only people who are interested in surfing there have hearts that would never ever faint. People like Kerby Brown, a bonafide hellman out of Western Australia who doesn’t much care if you know his name or not. Aside from his family, Brown has a singular love affair with big, scary slabs, so there’s no better person to give the average viewer a walk-through of a place the average surfer will never surf.
