We unleashed global roving editor jarvi on lowey post his epic mexico wsl big wave finals result. From st ives to the biggest stage in the world for hellmen … heck of a ride.

Mexi Lowe
The best big wave surfers in the world come from Hawaii, and from Australia, and maybe from Mexico and South Africa, or possibly from Chile. And the U.K.

Oh yes. British big wave surfers have become a thing these days, like a Brazilian Storm lite. Half the surfers, but better for you.

The latest to hit the ranks running is a young 33-year old lad named Tom Lowe. He joins the Big Wave Tour anointed squad of Tom Butler and Andrew Cotton as our own crew who are making a name on the big wave scene. Although Lowey has been charging hard for a very long time as you’ll know, it was the WSL Big Wave Awards that brought him into sharp worldwide focus with a horror Tag Heuer Wipeout Nomination at Puerto Escondido in 2016 for a dive from the top of a giant close out set.

He soon followed it up with a similar entry into the 2017 awards, only this time it was at Nazaré – even less of a joke than Puerto, and impossibly it seemed like a bigger wave and an even longer drop from the heavens. No to mentioning also turning heads with his Pe’ahi debut.

Before that Tom was finding his big wave feet amongst the notoriety of the giant slabs and peaks of Ireland with Fergal Smith. When they weren’t surfing Mullaghmore as big as it gets, they were pioneering the Cliffs and Rileys. There might not be too much going on with regards to big waves where he lives in Kernow, but Lowey was earning his stripes in Ireland.

As a result of the 2016 wipeout and performances however, he was nominated as one of the top four big wave performers last year, and was rewarded with a berth on the Big Wave Tour, a dream result for any big wave hopeful.
