Maui, Hawaii – Surfer Ty Simpson-Kane has survived a brutal wipe out at Peahi beach (Jaws) on Maui’s north shore.
The Surfer was seen tumbling like a rag doll after falling off the board towards the top of the wave.
Simpson-Kane was seen submerging under the oceans surface before being saved by rescue teams who took him to shore.
