Pe’ahi (Jaws) Barrel – Jesse Richman<br />

PE’AHI (JAWS) BARREL<br />

• Jesse Richman•<br />

This was the fourth time I tried to pull into a Jaws barrel<br />

on my Pivot kite and the first time that I—or for that matter<br />

any kiteboarder—has successfully made it out of one.<br />

It was an incredible view. I believe that big barrels are<br />

probably the best, and most addictive, experience I’ve<br />

ever had. Being engulfed with so much energy around you<br />

is wild. To me they are so special because with big barrels<br />

comes big consequences. One mistake and it’s a really<br />

gnarly experience, which is what usually happens to<br />

me. It’s still fun but actually making it out of one feels like<br />

touching a dragons tong and escaping his jaws before he’s<br />

calmed down. Simply awesome.
