In this episode of the Quivercast, we sit down with legendary big wave surfer and water safety expert Jeff Kafka. Jeff shares his journey growing up in Pacifica, CA, where surfing was a family affair from the start. After a gnarly head injury and a less-than-cool blue helmet imposed by his dad, Jeff drifted away from surfing and embraced bodyboarding instead. Determined to make it as a pro, he left home as a teenager to chase heavy waves and remote slabs around the globe. But fate had other plans—a serious injury in Hawaii forced him to hit pause and return to his roots.

Back home in Northern California, Jeff found a new passion in the cold, raw power of Mavericks. What started as curiosity turned into a calling, as he committed himself to the world of big wave surfing. Today, Jeff is not only known for charging monster swells but also for keeping others safe in the most dangerous conditions imaginable. From coordinating rescue efforts at Mavericks to providing water safety around the world, Jeff has become a pillar of the big wave community. Tune in to hear his inspiring story of commitment to surfing.
