Oddly enough, Albee Layer and Matt Meola are close friends within the Maui surfing community. Albee entered a half-ass submission into the first year, and watched his buddy clean up an unlikely $100k with his polished, community-supported part. A lightbulb went off. He took all his trophies, and set them on fire. Then he went to work. He entered the first round of the next with a part so mind-blowing it kinda put a damper on the entire season. Everyone knew he'd already won. And the fuck was Albee Layer anyway?!? Matt Meola's friend? Ha! In years to follow, Albee has since put this little submission to shame with his ground-breaking airs and balls-to-the-wall approach at Jaws. But you heard it here first, folks. Another well deserving $100,000 winner.
