Smash Burgers by Big Wave Surfer Ian Walsh

Big-wave surfer Ian Walsh is well-recognized in his Maui community and across the world for charging some of the biggest waves on the planet, most notably at his home break, Jaws. What most people don't know about him is his commitment to community service.
In 2003, he launched the Ian Walsh Menehune Mayhem Surf Event, a youth surf contest that honours the up-and-coming surf talent in Maui, Ian says this is probably his greatest accomplishment so far.
We also found that Ian is quite accomplished in the kitchen as well. His cooking show on YouTube called Kitchen Captain has garnered thousands of views so we knew it was time to get him in our kitchen.
