Count the smaller waves between them and you can get a ball park number in the teens ... if you lose count a big one is on the way. Most boaters don't like them either.
@@dieselscience yeah there are other tricks an experienced water man picks up on, especially if they have lived at the break a long time. You usually have some strong indications the as the set builds, each peak a little steeper, seems like tide is pulling back but it's not time yet, things like that.
As Pie below states in his remarks....if you surf you know the feeling of seeing that dark set of lines coming and you say " I thought I was out far enough"....have to keep the verbal cool but you get it! Havent been in the NS stuff but had my share of "oh _ _ _ _"
WOW....You were in the right place at the right time...the ski's?...Not so much. I wonder how many times that day they did this "to the horizon" routine? Thanks for sharing. I will visit this vid many times.
I feel for the injured guys , luck with your recovery, but after a few views it looks like the ski guys were sat around chatting and were caught out - nobody was focused on what was happening offshore
@@highseas_media2110 Really well done, thank you for sharing!!! Great to see this from start to finish rather than just the ski flying through the air.
@@John-tg5vn Not really a legend, your not supposed to gun a 50ft ramp, your supposed to turn the other way. Imagine if he landed on someone. Jetskis can outrun waves, inexperienced people on jetskis out there.
This explains the situation much better than the close-up news view. Maybe these Jet-Skiers need headset walkie-talkies so they can communicate between them or maybe someone with this drone that saw these waves (set) coming could have given them advanced warning. -Either way they should have rode away from these waves and not over them. Worst case is having a 1000lb ski coming off a wave and hitting someone.
Watch it closely guys n girls the white ski that launched to the heavens landed safe as.. but lost his passenger. That’s when all other skis jumped to rescue mode.. Massive cool clip 😍🤙🏼
2 mistakes, not trying to outrun instead of launching then launching and not separating yourself from the ski at all costs... Both driver and photog got badly hurt..
Ughhh. Horrible. I don't know why they didn't kick out! That drop was probably at least 30 feet. I can't imagine landing on the ski from the that height.
@@joshuamcdonnell122 too many people with too little experience in a place they shouldn't be. It's the illusion of safety in numbers (every ones out, don't want to miss that ...) and relying on gear that out classes your skills
Hate when sitting not really watching the horizon, certain you're far enough out.....and suddenly you realize you the water around you suddenly sank a few feet. And you are about to get mauled.
When people are in the line up whether on a board or a ski there seems to be this hive mind effect where in a moment people just do what everyone else does....it's interesting. So many of them should have turned back in instead of trying to beat the set out. Crazy.
Saw a video from when one of those sets went through - the guy on the back of the ski was shouting "you're gonna have to turn around, you're gonna have to turn around". You could hear the panic but you couldn't get a sense of the scale of the wave though. This puts it into perspective - unreal.
Holy Smokes! Know the panic in one’s heart getting caught inside NS!!! ... but never seen anything like this! ... many prayers to the guy who broke his back 💕💕💕
As someone who SUP surfs I don’t like condemning any form of water-sports but ski’s are just to much of a noise and air pollutant especially just for photographers and lookyloos skis are a great tool for rescue. Those last two that launched had no business out there they didn’t have enough experience or they would have known to turn and outrun the whitewater. Looks like from the comments the last one got hurt really bad I hope they have a good recovery 🤙
*HOLY SHIT!* I don't surf, I dive and mostly count fish and take photos but I had some friends and a couple of profs who went to school in HI.... crazy.
I'll put it here since this is the raw footage. By my repeated stopwatch action, our astronaut free fall time is ~2.27 seconds, but for fun lets call it 2.3 to spice a little. That equates to a 25.9m drop (85ft)... and he's hitting the water at 80.1 km/h (50 mph)... We can also make some assumptions about the wave by the amount of time going up leading to it being in the ~21m (68ft) face range. "Remember comrades, hit eject button after launching rocketski..." You can see our test pilot mount the ski after, all good yah?
Sorry I don't have any experience with the ocean or big waves. But why did some try to launch over the wave and some run away from it? What is the correct decision here?
They are water support for the surfers to the upper left of the screen. Surfers higher support (or their homies) if they are needed to be pulled out during large swells like this. This time though, the jet skis got caught inside. Realistically, some of them should have just turned around and gassed it. Hind site though.
Every surfer knows that feeling in the gut when a 'rogue' monster set suddenly appears way out on the horizon!!!!

Can you imagine all the “Oh shit…”s coming from everyone once the next wave came into view? 😮
dude pushed the send it button hard!
The dude nearly launched it into outer space.
Aloha one , aloha one countdown to launch!
No shit that was gnarly!!!!! 👽
Dat was Unko Mike
ELON MUSK TRYING TO GET IN ORBIT WITH A JETSKI
I would assume he is the one with the broken back he probably landed on his ski.
Legend has it one ski is still powering toward the horizon.
That is nuts! I keep rewinding to watch how each person reacts.
I love the “nope” turn arounds lol.

Insane 🤯 nice to see the full vid in good quality and to hear everyones safe
Passenger on airborne ski suffered a broken back but at least he didn't drown.
Thanks for posting raw footage. I find that edited videos with cuts and music really get in the way of the action.
That set looked like a tsunami rolling in. talk about panic mode.
Wow that clean up set had jet skis racing to rescue jet ski drivers and their skis!
WOW....You were in the right place at the right time...the ski's?...Not so much. I wonder how many times that day they did this "to the horizon" routine? Thanks for sharing. I will visit this vid many times.
That dude deserves wave of the year.
wish this was 4k.. and angled a little lower and closer to the jet skies.. you could sell it to someone like me lol
hooo neva seen dis one but awesome perp & coverage
Dang!!! - was that Travis P on that Jet ski??
Thats got to be the highest and farthest I've ever seen a jet ski launch out the back. OMG! Bottom of screen..... 2:20 Sick video man
I just watched it again really great footage
WOW! even for seasoned waterman this must have been terrifying! Great footage. You got a sub from me!
Killer drone footage!
Glad all are good , great footage
Man this video i saw like 3 times 😮 soo good footage all that jetskis flying like a bird
This is absolutely amazing footage!! Like watching a tsunami approaching
This is what 'all hell broke loose' looks like.

@Joshua Jason Karl depends on angle of the swell for which break is good
@@JarvisGrayIII living up to your name!!!!
awesome video! congrats for catching it
Holy shit that was intense. Best call was probably to gun it towards shore like a couple of them did.

Hopefully they all landed better than a SpaceX shuttle 🤣👍
@@chrismitchell4010 i think their shuttles actually land softer than any of these guys
I love your description ❤
Oh thank you!
Agreed….using the word carnage is like adding some cayenne to a recipe….
That was gnarly, hope everyone’s safe.
One guy broke his back. I'm assuming it was the guy who almost went into orbit but then landed on his ski, then went over the falls

Clean up set- bugger!
Plank with the 1 million dollar clip !!!
Yo that one guy fucking LAUNCHED hahahah
That's an unusually big set.
Back to shore was definitely the right play here
Now that's something we don't see in Canada lol. Crazy and awesome!

Some sneaky waves!
Honey, I'm just going for a surf....
That jet ski rider fully sent it. Get that man a stubby and a pack of menthols, he’s a god damn legend.
The guy on the back of the ski broke his back. They would have been better off running it toward shore from where they were.

Man you shoulda got the drone lower and followed them off the waves and put some music to it you coulda got some epic shots
Sleeper set🤣

Thanks! 😁
Hello i fly alot inspire 2 with x4s but if you had a x5s and cinne ssd your footage would be very valuable especially if it was upclose on that jump !
“The Send Lord” launched that JetSki into outer space 😳
At least there was few smart ones that said f***! No and turned around

The Storm is here
That was aggressive!
Bro what the hell was that send??? Did they bail last second, I can’t tell from because the spray
must have, you cant just drop 40ft straight down and land on flat water
they didnt , cameraman on the back broke his back, not sure about the "driver"
@@flaviogois3060 can see the guy on the white jet ski climbing back on
@@flaviogois3060 The guy who broke his back was on the black ski no the white one

That looked great, but not thought out.
2:00 They got closed-out on the right side also (video doesn't really show it). ==that's why many were freaking out.

did everyone on a ski have floatation on?

100 years from now (Silver surfer to to young Grommit) - "and that junior is where the saying 'Never turn your back on the ocean came from' "...
Awesome
I think the dude in the white ski has just invented a new sport
Bone chillin'!
Mental note: next time I hear all the boats on the other side of the wave gunning their motors, better think about doing the same.
Awesome.
What part of north shore is that?
Close to Pipeline?

kooks of the year. congratulations.
I used to call rogue sets IRA because Mad Magazine in the 60s had a story about surfing and the huge wave was called IRA.
Dude on Mario Kart ski
They almost need to make PFC's with suspensions now
Perfect timing haha
The Ben Aipa swell of 2021. rip
Sorry I don't have any experience with the ocean or big waves. But why did some try to launch over the wave and some run away from it? What is the correct decision here?
The smart (experienced) ones turned around and rode it out.
Someone fill me in, do they all just go out there to have fun on the skis?
