Description

This is the real story of what happened on December 21, 2012, and the quieter, more surprising life Greg Long built in the decade after it, one most fans never hear about. From winning the 2009 Eddie Aikau at Waimea Bay over Kelly Slater, to the near-drowning that changed everything, to becoming the president of the Big Wave Risk Assessment Group (BWRAG), to still charging at Isla Todos Santos at 42 years old in 2026, this is the untold arc of one of surfing's most respected big-wave riders. If you're into big wave surfing documentaries, Mavericks, Cortes Bank, and the real stories behind the sport's biggest names, subscribe for more deep dives into the lives of elite surfers. #GregLong #BigWaveSurfing #Mavericks 🔴 COPYRIGHT NOTICE INSANE Surfer does not fully own the material compiled in this video.
