Alo Slebir is a big wave surfer—born and raised in Santa Cruz, California, he’s spent a lifetime carving his path from the gentle rollers of Cowell’s Beach to the heaving slabs of Mavericks. On December 23rd, during a historic swell, Alo and tow partner Luca Padua caught what may be the largest wave ever ridden by a human. While the numbers are still being calculated, the footage speaks for itself—this wave could set a new global standard.

But what makes Alo remarkable isn’t just the size of the waves he rides—it’s the quiet determination behind them. In between sessions at Mavericks, Alo works a full-time construction job, embodying the grit and work ethic that defines true greatness.

In this episode, we sit down with Alo to unpack not only that monumental wave, but also his mindset through injury and recovery. After suffering an MCL injury, Alo reflects on what the experience taught him—about patience, training, and how to come back stronger. It’s a conversation about resilience, risk, and what it really takes to chase your limits.
