It's not. When water is heavilly mixed with air, you cant just swim up and remember, inside "a wash machine". That drama that you just call, is about 10-13 meters of trouble pulling you down!
I watched a special mini series about Nazare on HBO (100 foot wave), the Legend of big wave surfing Garrett McNamara discovered Nazare, and was the first ever to ride a giant wave there that held the record until Sebastian broke it a year later. Awesome place to visit and great people too.
Monstruosos, anos de treinamento, apneia e treinamento para sair de sufocos dessa forma! Parabéns a todos envolvidos, isso é simplesmente surreal de se ver.
I remember standing on the shore near a famous point in Okinawa and watching these massive waves crash into the rocks on the shoreline and you could feel the ground rumble beneath your feet. Literally millions of cubic yards of rock being shook by the power of those waves. Some things you never forget.
So when someone wipes out but survives it's God's grace and mercy but when they die it's a case of God working in mysterious ways, or do you have another convenient excuse?
Amazing shorts!!! Kai Lenny has already grown to #2 after Lucas. I didn't think Sebastien had a spin after his 30m. He should get a Guinness Record for that too. Bravo and 🏆 to the race director for coordinating the rescue!!!!
I have no idea why this popped up as a suggested video as I’ve never watched anything to do with surfing but watched out of curiosity and wow, mad respect to the folks who surf these gigantic waves. Talk about cajones!
It is almost Nazare time again. 1-2months from now and the circus starts again. There is also a good rescue from Kai Lenny. That always sticks to my mind. Beautiful place and so happy I can't surf.
Surfen, Urlaub, Kalifornien, Hawaii das Bild von spass und schönen Stränden... Das war mein Bild vom surfen.... Erst nach dem ich ihm persönlich kennengelernt habe und all die einzelnen Details erklärt bekam wurde mir alles klar wie krass die ganze Sache ist.... davor hatte ich mich nicht besonders mit solch einem Thema beschäftigt.... Sebastian Steudner ist faszinierend für solch außergewöhnliche Leistung. Der Typ ist einfach Krass
Son unicos pero se arriesgan demasiado, la verdad si saben lo que hacen . Yo en la ducha me ahogo, al ver al tio bajo el agua no podia respirar me alegro ver emerger ,los jetsky son lo maximo en rescate .
Poor guy gets thrown multiple feet after finally getting to the shore. Those waves are monsters. I got hit by a little wave just wading and was surprised how much force they have. I was knocked off my fee and my sunglasses went flying. Awesome courage guys!
Kai Lenny reitet die 80 feet hohe Welle einfach ab und surft beim Wellenkamm einfach easy wieder raus! Es sieht bei Ihm federleicht aus! Für mich ist Er der allerbeste - der weltbeste Surfer!
I used to live about an 1 hour drive from here. Middle of the summer it could be flat as a mill pond. Lovely place to visit . Charming town with some great food. Only wish i had seen these surfers riding them monster waves.
Как можно так спокойно распоряжаться своей единственной жизнью на этом свете. Не понимаю серферов и восходителей на горы- безумные люди, живут только этой минутой.
For giant waves and in situations of extreme vulnerability, in cases like this I think it's time to think about building something like a mixture of a helicopter and a flying car, but it must be amphibious because jet skis have their limitations as they are stuck in the water like any other. vessel.
Very Dramatic!! Dicing with death! Amazing video! The jet ski guys as brave as the surfers!🏄 never seen such huge waves 😮! Definitely Not for the faint of heart! ❤️
Can someone describe to me what it means to be catched in that kind of waves? I love when it's windy at the seaside and I'm very attracted by big waves (obviously when they are just some meters high), but I really would know what happens when you remain "stuck" in one if that giants, what are the real risks (the impact, the time you remain under water, how deep are you pushed down ecc.). Thank you in advance to who would try to explain this to me.
Can't really answer you but as a teenager I got caught and stuck by big waves on the beach (in Nazaré actually) Obviously not this big, but the sensation is absolutely awful. The white foam when it falls on you you feel like it's dismembering your body/breaking it. It presses your chest like you can't breathe and just moves your body wherever it wants you to move. The bigger the mass of water the harder it is to come to the surface. At the time I didn't master the technique of diving under the wave to avoid being hit. Being hit is the worse. It hurts and feels desperate. I remember crawling to the shore in terror and not wanting to go back. But these waves were obviously smaller.
@@helenacorreia7613 Thank you very much for telling this experience, it is very evocative and intense. I imagine it has to be very frightening, now I can understand a little more the sensations. I keep thinking body surfing is the sport that attract me the most, even if I think I will never be brave enough to try. Thank you again for your beautiful description!
I read that it means to have your wave stolen, so a more proper time particle participial would refer to the past tense as in caught(catched), intercepted or taken... I hope that helps🤙
imagine an avalanche coming up behind you at 100miles/hr and you are riding it, but that's snow the fear of whale of water and what it can do is even worse
I surfed for years while I was in the Navy; but these type waves (actually anything over 20ft) are nightmarish to me. Knowing the power of a mere 10ft wave.. it makes me shudder to think of a wave 10x that size!!
OMG...I JUST HAD BACK SURGERY AND I AM IN PAIN...THIS VIDEO HAS BEEN GREAT COMING OUT OF ANESTHESIA! We have our 50ft -70ft Mavericks in my Home city of Pacifica CA...also a few miles south in Half Moon Bay. The surfers 🏄♂️ 🌊 ♥️ who take these Monster Mavericks are of God's Special Creation 😇 Thank-you so much in helping me come out of my Anesthesia...with a 100 foot Ocean 🌊 Maverick💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵💙🩵
Ohne die Westen wäre Sebastian tot gewesen! Die Monsterwellen sind echte Killer! Seine Rettung so hochdramatisch, mir wäre fast das Herz stehen geblieben!
I’d want the gunniest board built with carbon reinforcement and a stainless stringer to surf this exact wave. Length, rail profile, width and concave are essential maintaining the speed necessary for one’s plane speed to match that of the wave. No off the shelf board is built for this wave. I’m old now and value my lungs but I use to experiment in the early 90s designing custom big wave boards for both surfing and windsurfing. Ironically it was the later that taught us the most about the requirements for these boards. In the 80s we were obsessed with building a windsurfing board that would be the fastest sailing vessel in history. So would designed a board designed to sail in essentially one direction as gibing it would be nearly impossible as it was almost as narrow as a waterski. We learned a lot on this build. A longer board with all of the volume resting slightly forward of aft produced the least drag. And half round rails (rails that round from the deck to the waterline and then immediately take the shape of the hull concave (which was a completely flat bottom except for four half round egg size 14 mil divots flanking the center line on either side of the board right behind the mast foot. These divots helped us overcome the most catastrophic problem with high speed boards at the time, namely skeg cavitation. It’s been 35-40 years now and builders have taken advantage of quantum leaps in the understanding of skeg physical dynamics (ironically the shape of these skegs came from Stanford’s laser light laboratory where they were trying to overcome aerodynamic drag of mirrors in lasers - the scientists were able to increase the speed of the galvanometers by suspending the mirror spindle in an electromagnetic germanium crucible to overcome heat limitations but the tiny bit of friction caused by the drag of mirrors in profiles was slowing down the arch speed by double digit kilo points per second - thankfully they developed a “double wing” mirror profile that cancelled out lift but involved the most complex granular approach to mirror calibration in history as the mirror had to retain the reflective properties of a flat mirror). Sorry, got a little excited by the post and totally went into nerd nostalgia overdrive here. So I’ll sum it up quickly. We built the fastest sailing craft in history that blew away the former champ, a catamaran called “Crossbow II.” I’d want the gunniest board built with carbon reinforcement and a stainless stringer to surf this exact wave.

Jimmy Lewis’s shop is where the board was assembled. The present windsurfing speed record 49.09 knots. And since 2009 we have not beaten that record and have lost our sailing speed crown to the kite board. Anyway, these gun shaped boards ridden on big waves are works of art in and of themselves.
Jetski driver and former surfer......holy cow that last video was a haert stopper. I had no idea one could even make it to the beach there. For some reason I thought those waves were really far off shore.
I would have to put surfing 100 foot waves up there with snowboarding just in front of an avalanche down a mountain. Straight up wild y’all got some balls 🤘🏼😝
in its extremeness it is very reminiscent of the Isle of Man where they race bikes without speed limits on city roads. Where the prize is to get to the finish line alive.
Its big and scary but its also an atlantic ocean mushball, i think shipsterns bluff or tchopu are way steeper top to bottom lip etc. they all are impressive.
How nice it is to be a fearless and feeling-as-immortal psychopath! Keep it up - life loves the bold and fearless-exuberant psychopaths! They are here to show us, the simple, ordinary and boring mortals what a waste we are...
А где ,в какой стране это происходит ? Назаре ,это я понимаю город какой то . Волны не только мощные ,но еще и красивые ,величественные . 100 feet ,это 100 футов ? Магнифико !!!!!
Рыбацкая деревня Назаре расположена к северу от Лиссабона (столицы Португалии), примерно в 120 км. Гигантские волны обычно случаются в период с октября по март, и для того, чтобы они возникли, должны произойти некоторые явления, такие как шторм посреди океана, фактор ветра, а затем каньон Назаре (*) увеличит амплитуду волн. (*) Самый большой подводный каньон в Европе длиной 220 км и глубиной 5 км.
8:52 But how is that statement of the jet ski teams true? I get it, most of the times there very needed. But in this case? No. By having too many jet skis between the waves, and then losing one, they have reduced the surfer's chances of survival.

they are all morons actually, but its a fine line 😅
The ocean is the most beautiful but scary thing at the same time.
Like women 😅
only Chuck Norris is scarier
Yeah, most of Nature is like that. Whatever is beautiful has ties to being dangerous. The two are one side of a coin.

It's not. When water is heavilly mixed with air, you cant just swim up and remember, inside "a wash machine". That drama that you just call, is about 10-13 meters of trouble pulling you down!
much respect to all those Portuguese mariners and fisherman who have perished in those waters over the centuries.
Simply wow !! What level of human skill, endurance and bravery. The first # 5 are just a warm up to the final # 1.
Großartige Bilder! Respekt den Surfern, solch tonnenschwere Wasserwände zu "reiten"!👏👍✊🏄♂️
I watched a special mini series about Nazare on HBO (100 foot wave), the Legend of big wave surfing Garrett McNamara discovered Nazare, and was the first ever to ride a giant wave there that held the record until Sebastian broke it a year later. Awesome place to visit and great people too.
Thank you for the information. I'm going to look for it to see it
It's an amazing look into his life. Loved it. What was the size of the wave Sebastian surfed?
The HBO special seems to focus on the hospital visits more than surfing , it felt like a nursing home show?
People are crazy and amazing at the same time
Im am the dream weaver. The bringer of life and death, for i seek Nature..she is my salvation
Monstruosos, anos de treinamento, apneia e treinamento para sair de sufocos dessa forma!
Parabéns a todos envolvidos, isso é simplesmente surreal de se ver.
Como é bom ir à praia em Portugal. Saímos bem lavadinhos no final 😂.
These waves scare me to my core.
AFTER WATCHING THIS I HAVE OFFICIALLY GONE SURFING 🏄♂️🌊
Holy crap! Absolute RESPECT!!! Bloody hell, those waves are huge! To all involved, you have balls of solid steel!!!
Какие отважные люди!! Чувак номер 1, я очень ждала твоего появления!! 😅
I remember standing on the shore near a famous point in Okinawa and watching these massive waves crash into the rocks on the shoreline and you could feel the ground rumble beneath your feet. Literally millions of cubic yards of rock being shook by the power of those waves. Some things you never forget.
All of these people are insane, nuts, bonkers but I’m envious too. I can’t imagine what it must feel like sliding down the face of a 75+++ foot wave
I'm fine with not knowing. 😮
It's got to be a supernatural feeling..like a close encounter with God himself
That last one was the Gnarliest Wave I've ever seen! Just Stupendous Effort!
GODs grace and mercy!
So when someone wipes out but survives it's God's grace and mercy but when they die it's a case of God working in mysterious ways, or do you have another convenient excuse?

The thumbnail is incorrect. The little dot is “superhuman”, not “human”.
Морские всадники 💪🌊
Wow! Thankful all were safe and able to reach shore.
TODAY WAS MY FIRST TIME SURFINGAFTER WATCHING THIS
That's awesome. I am a recluse mostly. So I get jealous of adventurous people truly. I wanna do mountaineering and caving.
It is almost Nazare time again. 1-2months from now and the circus starts again. There is also a good rescue from Kai Lenny. That always sticks to my mind. Beautiful place and so happy I can't surf.

А где ,в какой стране это происходит ? Назаре ,это я понимаю город какой то . Волны не только мощные ,но еще и красивые ,величественные . 100 feet ,это 100 футов ? Магнифико !!!!!
Portugal..
Рыбацкая деревня Назаре расположена к северу от Лиссабона (столицы Португалии), примерно в 120 км.
Гигантские волны обычно случаются в период с октября по март, и для того, чтобы они возникли, должны произойти некоторые явления, такие как шторм посреди океана, фактор ветра, а затем каньон Назаре (*) увеличит амплитуду волн.
(*) Самый большой подводный каньон в Европе длиной 220 км и глубиной 5 км.
