Pure, core and definitely authentic are some adjectives I’d use to describe Albee Layer. Since winning Innersection in 2012, the Maui surfer has risen to prominence for his antics above the lip and his ability to push the boundaries in XXL tubes, all while remaining very much himself. Albee isn’t shy to say what’s on his mind and his hardcore persona and approach to surfing is what makes him one of the sport’s most exciting characters.

Due to sponsorship difficulties in the past couple of years, Albee hasn’t left Maui too much and his home island forms the basis for his latest edit ‘Pure’ which sees him spinning in the local trade winds and continually charging Jaws, one of, if not, the most famous big wave in the world.

If you’ve paid any attention to Jaws over the last ten years or so, you’ll know that Albee is infatuated and obsessed with the wave, he has dedicated his life to surfing it and is very much ‘the man’ out there. He is continually trying to take off deeper, later and is always hunting the biggest barrels, which is evident throughout ‘Pure’.
