My cousin Derek Dunfee is a certified badass – he won the Biggest Paddle-In wave of the year at the Billabong XXL in 2009 and the Worst Wipeout in 2010 – both at Mavericks, with one near-50 foot monster that he dropped successfully and one unsuccessful set that landed right on his chest.

Down With the Ship is a project Derek made about when he spiral fractured his leg at Mavericks and then came back four months later to score the biggest paddle-in wave of 2009.  It’s now online and completely FREE, so check it out and recognize a surfer with true cojones.
