Hailing from the North Shore of Oahu, Healey grew up with the pulse of the ocean in his blood. Best known for his big-wave surfing and free-diving expeditions, he is a true waterman. Healey won the Monster Tube award in the 2009 Billabong XXL big wave awards from surfing a mystery spot identified only as “the Pacific Northwest.” As Shane Dorian has said, “I honestly think Healey is mentally prepared to paddle into waves that no one wants.”
