This was a very special day a couple years ago. For sure one of the bigger waves I’ve paddled into. This @_danielrusso_ photo just surfaced a few days ago. The other skis ran out to sea because it looked like the channel would close out, so him and @chaddy_witcz were the only ones who got it.
JUST LANDED: PINNACLE UTILITY BOARDSHORT.
Our Pinnacle lineup was built alongside big-wave waterman Ambassador @healeywaterops . We asked Mark to be ruthless with his testing—and he delivered.
Blurring the line between utility short and boardshort, this hyper-versatile short is built to stand up to whatever the day throws your way. Wear it on land or in the water.
Grab some at the link in our bio before they’re all gone.

Ambassador @healeywaterops puts in work on the farm when he’s not on the water. The LoadOut Bucket is his unsung hero for all the lugging, loading, and hauling that chores require.

Flashback! Believe it or not before he was a steel cut brute of a big wave hellman, Mark Healey was a 96 pound freckled face Grom! He really did set the pace a few decades ago for preteen kids as he was one of the only groms his size that would paddle out to serious pipeline and takeoff behind some of the superstars! #pioneergrom #pipelinegroms #flashbackfriday
Strike Missions grom edition! I had to do grueling shore dives for 15 years before I saw my first Ono. Kids these days are spoiled! 😂
***Don’t try this at home FYI. The current is usually raging and there are predators around out there. It was a rare day of calm seas/current and I scouted it first before the kids got in and I have a lot of experience with sharks. It is rarely like this out there and even with my experience level there’s probably only a handful full of days per year that I’d feel comfortable getting the kids in the water here.
Some people chase comfort. Others chase the unknown. That’s exactly what @healeywaterops ’ Signature Compass Strike Mission is about. The pursuit, the early starts, the long days, the moments that push you past familiar.
Wider visor, taller crown, smarter utility so you can stay focused on what’s ahead: the next peak, the next set, the next trail that turns into something unforgettable.
Adventure isn’t a destination, it’s a daily choice. Check out The Compass Strike Mission, complete with custom cinch bag - link in bio.
