We all know Nic Vaughan charges. We frequently see him chasing swells and riding waves most of us wouldn't dare to go near, and sometimes things don't go as planned. Here is Nic Vaughan's entry into the 2015 XXL Wave Awards for Wipeout of the Year.

The video shows Nic riding head-first down the beastly face of Peahi (aka Jaws) in Maui, Hawaii.

We're glad he made it out of this one unscathed.
