Tow-in surfing is where a jet-ski is used to pull the rider into really big waves (60 footers) that are impossible to paddle surf. The jet-ski gives the surfer the speed necessary to catch big, fast waves. On Fiji, Pat and Wingnut surfed with Kelly Slater, Jeff Booth and Tom Carroll. In Costa Rica, of course, they were with Robert August and they did not go to Hawaii.
