I Have been swallowed, crushed and evrything by waves that were only 2/3 meters high, It's just horrifying when you're under the water and you can't go back to the surface during like 20/30 sec, I can't imagine the force of such waves, Ocean is the strongest and scariest thing in nature
I agree.
My biggest fear is the ocean but its also my favorite thing
+Raphael Menudier waw really??? am even scared of small wave but am scared to go far to a place where my feet dont touch the floor. i dont swim. but i like to surffff in dreams of course :D
+Raphael Menudier can we ware a suit to not drown and go surf even if we dont know how to swim? i like to start learnin on small wave
+sirenaluna1 Sure i think you should wear a life jacket,
And knowing how to swim is recommended,
And stick with the 1 or 2 meter first, For that i dont think you really need the life jacket if you know how to swim
Else just wear it so you are sure about it.
I am no surfer but i jumped from 2 lessons of snowboarding to the 2nd and 3rd years experienced people,
And i have felt how strong water is even if i know how to swim its a tough fight against the waves.
And most of all have fun.
we don`t have any floating material (only the surf board itself). You just take in as much air as you can before diving, then you let the turbulence of the water play with you without trying and resist because its just too powerful. When things start to feel better you need to understand what position is your body in underwater, so that you can start to make your way to the surface. The surf board will get back to surface before you and pull you by the leash with which the board is attached to your ankle, and you know that`s the direction you need to follow to get back up.
It`s like being washed in a super powerful washing machine. Many times you think that there is no way you can hold your breath any longer but somehow you do... Your limbs are stretched and pulled apart with violence and you really are absolutely helpless for very long seconds. Sometimes you get back to the surface just in time, or at list it feels so.
I hope I gave you an idea of how things work for a surfer.
Good description. Pretty accurate for when you're getting worked in just 8-10ft rather than 20+ chopes.
don't they have those inflatable vests or is it to shallow
And then you see the second lip break over you.
Just watching this video almost gives me a panic attack... These guys are absolute BEASTS. I just can't even begin to imagine how thoroughly terrifying it must be to be out there.
baymtl Bare in mind that where the wave starts its a deep ocean water but the actual waves crash onto a rocky shallow reef. Some places just 6-10ft so many get injuries here. The sudden force from the ocean and the surface create this type of wave
Either way, they are trained and take precautions. They know what theyre doing, and when. If someone is scared, hes ending up dead in such waves for sure.
Mate one day I will be surfing these waves being high on LSD
@@MrTwat144 6-10 ft is way more than I've seen in videos quite a few where the reef is actually exposed in the impact zone. You gotta be okay with dying or convinced you won't if you're surfing here.
@@TheMrExemplar this reads beautiful 💜
i’ve surfed 3-5ft waves and when the wave crushes you it’s the scariest thing ever
Niels i know it’s tiny haha but i started surfing 1 year ago
I dont scare waves, even if they 20ft more . I dont know how to surf already
olivia lavanga for real? im surfing since 3 months and already went for up to 8ft waves ^^
@@bilalyildirim8023 "waves scare you", not "you scare waves" ...
iv surfed 7ft waves I needed 5 of my friends to talk me in to even going in the water
Whenever I'm watching surfers take on pipeline, I always get so scared that they won't make it out in time. Kudos to those brave, courageous surfers for putting their lives on the line to do what they love.
0:56 OH HELL NO
Riding these ones is the best but only if you can hold your breath for like 3 min
@@3funny5me23 yep....
That's literally a tsunami
This makes me nervous to watch
easy honey :>
Captain Durp wtf😂
santa cruz?
Then watch shipstern buff surfing
Hold my hand
0:48 wft! how somebody could possibly survive that ?
RoNiNk these guys can hold their breath for several minutes. That definitely helps :-)
They have vest filled with air they can pop
Samuel Adams they train u mean for this
RoNiNk have you seen the scene in 0:55

I've gotten in 7 foot waves and was scared shitless when I wiped out I can't imagine these guys
Ye I agree with that. I am french and like 5 months ago we went to biarritz with my dad. I stayed there 2 days, the waves were gigantic, some could legit hit 20 freakin feet high. I tried to surf some but like the small one, and tried to dodge the big ones (almost impossible to do with a surf board). Then I saw a wave that was like 12 feet high. It was really the perfect opportunity because it was legit going to break EXACTLY on me. So I didnt think, I just got on my surf board and tried to ride it.
But the little problem is that Im 13 and my surfboard is like the ones you find for 20$ or idk what. So the wave crushed, and crushed me at the same time. I rided it for like 0.5 seconds before the fukin power of the wave legit drowned me underwater and maked me go back to the border (I was at like 50 feet far). So yea really incredible x')
@@newera1739 bruh r u brainwashed these waves in the video are 20 ft idiot
1:47 .....This guy looks calmer standing under this wave than I do standing in my living room.
chill as physically as possible
And they say most accidents happen in the home, so he may also be safer than you are in your living room. Life is weird.🤔
The wave that bloats up at around :57 sent a shiver throughout my entire body...GNARLY.
this has got to be one of the coolest videos ive ever seen!
0:58 you can just see someone on the left getting pulled up by the wave
Massive OOF
Probably the most extreme ride of all here
how long does it take fr a person to surface after he falls under such a huge wave?
+Sanket Chavan half a second, but the next half second you're on the bottom, then up, then down... Unless you get stuck into the bottom rocks of course... This is called the "washing machine" :).
+Sanket Chavan it depends on a number of factors but usually not that long here because much of the power dissipates on the initial impact. Places where the wave kind of keeps on rolling as white water after it breaks like Jaws are much worse for hold downs. Most of the drowinings at Teahupoo and similar waves like Pipeline will be secondary to concussion/head trauma.
Daniel Goldin thnx for the elaborate reply.
Longest I've been under is like 12-15 seconds but when you're down there it feels like forever
With a month practice you can make it up to 2-3 minutes easily.
Wow!
😀 now ! U have 9 lakh subscriber
Barry Lewis im scared you have the same last name as me
Hectic, now that is heavy man, gave me goosebumps. Freakin epic. Thumbs up to all those riders, and my sympathies to those who where trying to duck dive and got sucked back over the falls. But this must be some of the best footage of Teahupoo I have ever seen. Awesome, thank you, now I am pumped for another session.
The waves looks more like tsunamis.
Great pictures. The video in minute 1:00 is amazing o.O
Tell me that's a tsunami, seriously..
Fantastic, insane. The waves and soundtrack.
That’s no wave... that’s a whole T S U N A M I
lmao fr
That looks like hella fun if your just going over the wava but looks hella scary surfing on it
Why am I watching this? I can't even swim
This shits scary bruh 💀😵
Best video I've seen all week. Insane.
I only have the biggest respect and admiration to those Brave Ladies and Gentleman who have what it takes to ride this Awesome Wave✌✌❤❤
Watching this after I caught a 7ft wave in Bali, scared my self shitless after coming up after 6 or so seconds of being thrashed around, how they do this is beyond me
Amazing!!
2019??
gives the chills just watching ...
these guys are absolute legends 🔥🔥
OMG thats awesome.
1:37 Someone's gonna be mad
Y
+Sub And I'll Give You Free Potato Juice cuz he took out the other guy? Maybe?
no reason, it was the green board guys wave, and he didn't fall...
no... priority works by whoever has front side... the guy who fell has priority on the wave because he was in front
MatteWolf no, its who is deeper in the barrel, and the guy with the green board was definitely deeper in
1:53 🤯 That Wave Chase him like a Beast 😬
I love surfing! Anyone who wants to try it should, you don't start on these waves obviously but you can work your way up! It's so thrilling and relaxing at the same time!
0:52-0:54 ------> It's amazing.
Those waves scared the HECK out of me, and I wasn't even surfing!!!
I surfed this spot in 1985. At this time, there were not many people. With my uncles and some friends, we do not surfed over 4 meters! To dangerous. Today, surfing towed, we see the potential of Teahupoo. GREAT!!!!
That was epic, great vid!
the flying surfboard on 1:04
Yep and i think the board owner is following his board onto the fall. He is the real hero on this wave. Not raimana.
Being in that wave must be the greatest feeling ever
awesome vid with great sound. In regards to who had the wave, something went wrong and they both ended up riding it, it happens and in most cases the race is off and both surfers try to get out safe. Once you drop you drop at chopes, there is simply no bailing out except face down on the reef.
This video is insane.... good editing too
0:58 omg the guy in the inside.. damm!!!!!!
R.I.P
shit this is great! though my head can't think of a way to get out of those waves alive! how do they do it?
Ya, they train to support all the pressure :p
Most of them can hold their breath for several minutes often necessary to survive.
First of all u don’t panic and then if know how to swim and when u have to take the breath everything is ok
@@sofiasilon819 lol what a throwback. Thank you!
You acutally don't resist so you save oxygen and get thrown around untill you feel no more turbulences. After that you follow your surf board to the surface i road waves like 2/3 of this and i almost died💀
Absolutely Beautiful
I don't think it matters who you are or what you do... That is so awesome.
This gives me anxiety. Even though I love to surf everyday is never go this far
Me: "OMG that looks so scary"
Also me: "OMG that looks so fun I wanna do it"
The best surfing video i ever saw!!
Omg this is thundering strom waves 😍😍😍😍😍.im blank omg ..its just awesome 😍😍loved it ,its too dangerous, and can be seen only at red bull😍😍.o love red bull

All the amazing things are dangerous and hard to get! ..except for a mother of course 😊
HORRIFYINGLY POWERFUL WAVE.
This video is bad ass. That location is awesome and that water looks great!
Really love it
1:57 so beautiful
2:00 best one
Yeah... He's so cool!
This is breathtaking
Carlos Burle é um monstro do surf !!!
Who's watching in 2019?
Hey does anyone know what board to get I have been surfing for a while and want to get a professional board. What size should I get?
rose luckyin Look at a number 3, long toe.
rose luckyin What size you should get depends on your size and how good your movement is on the board.
ik it is a little late to say what board you should get but i love thurso surf lancer!
i'm amazed with those waves 😍
Is fantastic!! thanks for the video
Can someone actually explain to me how people survive these kind of waves when they wipeout? Like seriously how does the power of the water not knock you out or push you so far down that you cant get back to the surface?
Ikr WTF
big waves like these the guys have life jackets
i didnt know about the life jackets, but that makes sense. also I once watched a docummentary with Carlos Burle which is a legend on giant wave surfing and it showed a little bit of the training they do to be prepared for moments like these. They breathed out of a bottle, they also trained a lot of apnea . Because once you are wiped out from a wave like this, you usually stay quite a bit under the water, so you must have a really good apnea training to not drown. There were other exercises, but I forgot. Either way I still wonder, this being a coral reef, how do they not get smashed into the rocks, in normal conditions people are get smashed and get major cuts, on conditions like these I dont know what could happen.

This is one of the comments i saw. Credits to +KSA Saami
BloomingfieldHD It’s a lot of skill. The wave does throw you down and you get pushed under. You have to stay calm and not trash and wait. Freaking out is gonna lessen your chances. Also, the board itself can hit you in the head and knock you out. Surfers learn to calm themselves and hold their breath. I’m only an amateur and the biggest wave I’ve surfed was 18 feet which was crazy for me and a lot of people but a piece of cake compared to this.
I was their my dad surfed on that day
Everyone is gangster until sharks join the party 😁
scary as hell, but the footage is amazing
I'm too scare to be in open water, let alone open sea
weera warakul The ocean is a powerful goddess.. So much energy and the capacity to take a life, but she also gives life. She gives life to all the organisms that live inside her and like to play with her. It's all so beautiful..
i wonder if anyones tried to duck dive these waves, XD :D
I would, thats the calmest part of the wave
great surfing video
Gorgeous and yet deadly waves!!
Ada yg lebih menantang dari di gulung ombak.
DI GULUNG JANDA😂
i cant go to 6ft waves smh btw i dont surf
+Kzi240 XD me to.
Charlie don't surf
INSANE ! 😎 I love how they run away before the wave smash !
I can watch this all day
Terrible etiquette at 1:38 that pisses me off
do you even know how to surf?
Brendan Ours who ever is closer to where the wave hits the watef has priority
Can't wait for this swell to hit home it's coming this weekend
That looks incredible! 😱😱😱
Greatest video ever
How beautiful, wiauu.hpw human being has the super power talent..courage, concentration, brave, and more.Amazin!
Waves are so beautiful but are so terrifying at the same time
Raimana has the craziest luck. He caught the 2 best waves in this vid. The back was so thick, it couldn't even get into the video frame.
Impresionantes Tomas!
What's up,
great film!

OMG these wave are outrageous what a site to see for sure, the slow motion only has enhance the magnitude of the gigantic scale waves.
Awesome! Never had the guts but definitely wiped out many times in my day trying.
