When you are learning to surf, you come to understand there is an line across the top of the wave that if you are not under it, you won't catch the wave. at some places, it also means that if you are not under it, you will be in the lip. On 4' waves, it doesn't matter. On a wave like this, being launched as part of the lip.... matters. At 0:11 of the clip, he is about 10' behind the the drop line, and he realizes where he is, and pulls out. He knows how to surf....
Between about 10 seconds to 15 seconds, he remained about the same distance from the top of the wave, i.e. he made no progress getting down the face. Getting out was the right move.
I’ve pulled out of a few that could have been labeled “the one that got away” but when they’re big, it’s more like “living to ride another day”. That was for heavy days at Ocean Beach. That drop could have hurt him. He made the right decision
@@PowerlinesProductions No, he made the wrong decision by wimping out, just as the wrong decision was made when choosing to sonically vandalize this footage with ghetto beats.
@@BayAreaMusicVideos He pulled off the wave just as it started to pitch. Going over the falls of a wave HALF that size is a brutal undertaking that can leave one stumbling to the beach with a broken board gasping for breath. I'm not even going to try to speculate what he would have experienced. What comes to mind is being a sock in a upright washer with a bunch of rocks
Sometimes no matter what you were previously thinking, another force takes over and escaping for the shoulder just happens. The squirt for life. Autonomic nervous system keeps humans from harms way.
There's a contest waiting. for the bravest of brave big wave surfers... Something in the way you love me won't let me be I don't want to be your prisoner So baby, won't you set me free?

Dang those chops are heavy. I couldn’t imagine trying to drop in at that speed with 4 foot haystacks in front of me. Way to represent San Diego JoJo🤙🏾
Man chose life! 😂
Always choose death over life for the gram. Otherwise you’re a barrel dodger forever 🤣
@craigspools1 True! To not take the risk is like cheating life.
That thing barreled from the outer bowl straight through to the inner bowl! Incredible wave! Good call kicking out, that ledge looked un makeable.
That’s one of the nicest Mavericks waves I’ve ever seen. And nobody was on it!!
What a glorious beast!
He would have gone down in history as one of the heaviest waves ever ridden.

Or just being a girly man
That is terrifying. that thing would ragdoll you to destruction.
he could have made it for sure. back of the line mate! 😉
Good call

I'm pretty certain if Kenny Powers were out and being towed in on his badass SPONGE, he would've nailed the 50 ft air drop
That was really beautiful
Mavs letting y'all know that tow-in isn't even a match 😂
Beautiful

💯 agree 👍

I thought the whole point was to Ride the bigger waves that you can get your chance to ?

smart big wave surfer- that thing was insane
Not enough speed
WOW!! What a monster 😨

Towing in at Mavericks should be illegal.
No shame on that. Monster of a wave. 😮
Crazy how there's a 30ft ledge 30ft down from the top of the lip. 🥶
either woulda been ride of the year or wipeout of the year if he went
Far out mate. Massive
It’s a double up? It def had double up vibes. Like it’s not already crazy enough out there
That was a reasonable business decision. Beautiful wave though.
Could he have made it, not without wings, good decision.
I'maJapanese.sorry brokenEnglish.
I think that's unreal.I want realvideo.
Would Eddie go?😮
He went left on that ha
Eddie would’ve gone. Just saying…
Pfffff Jim Tjo would've parked this thing
Alo would go
Not me thinking I would have got so barrelled
He's going to regret not going on that. He could have made it but I don't blame him that was gigantic.
There's a contest waiting.
for the bravest of brave big wave surfers...
