some seriously pretty underwater shots at that enormous pool
It's my bathtub. I'm fat.
I was wondering about that pool myself! I've never seen a pool that huge as far as depth goes. Probably a Navy or Marine training pool, I'd suspect!
I've been held down for 20 seconds and it felt so horrible, can't imagine what it's like to stay 1:30 under a wave
What's a big wave for you, be reallistic
I just let it take me, relaxing is key. Although, i'm sure it's much different around rocks.
You can train just on the ground. Try to hold your breath for one minute just go for it don't panic just take it easy. After you nailed one minute you gonna aim for 30 seconds more until you can hit like 3/5 minutes. Do it like once a day when you'r mind says "stop let me breath" keep holding your breath! you will be able to hold your breath for 2 minutes after one month i assure you.
25ft
if you are held under a wave the best chance is to go as far down as you can and look for an underwater crevice, get sucked in and hope there's an air-filled cave at the end of it. The most important part is the air-filled cave, I cannot stress it enough.
I went to a beach with big waves and it wiped me out, and as somebody who's terrified of the ocean I pretty much almost had a panic attack under the water. it flipped me around and when I got up I was a mess and I literally turned around to fix myself and another wave fucking took me out and I swallowed a lot of water. never realized how strong the water is.
Cat Christian never panic. Panicking in the water is the worst thing you could do in those types of situations.
Sabretooth yep. There's always sets of 4 big waves. After they pass by, that's when you have the chance to get out the water while the waves get calm again.
Cat Christian yeah it's why so many tourists drown/get dragged in here in Hawaii. They don't realize how powerful the ocean is
Emoteecons Sets can vary from around 1 to 10 waves each set. It's not always 4.
@John R, yep. I smell kooks. jk
Nothing will ever beat the time that I fell of the top of a 15 footer and got so messed up that I swam to the bottom when I thought I had been swimming towards the top.
that's why they made inflatable suits. Shouldn't be riding anything above 10ft without one
Been surfing big waves in Hawaii for decades now. The number one thing I've learned is that whether or not you got a breath or not, or get the wind knocked out of you, you have five minutes. What creates that panicked feeling is the build up of co2, not the lack of oxygen. I become a happy little piece of seaweed with no care or interest in the amount of lung burn or rag dolling I get. I mentally check out, for the full body enema. Time perception is weird on a hold down. I just stay relax. Practice holding your breath with kids jumping on you with no breath with the hose full blast in your face.
hulagan808
was thinking the exact same thing. Lmao
I'd hate to be a lifeguard at that pool, that water is deep!
Plxton ikr
+Johnny yea
+Johnny dig a big hole then
Right
Plxton to you... I dive 50+ feet easy
Screw surfing, I wanna do underwater wrestling
Wwe umderwater
stellvia hoenheim Not for the loser...
Well you could try underwater rugby, gets pretty close to it ;)
Great comment 😂😂😂
WWE Underwater,sure I will lov that too
This looks absolutely terrifying.
It really gets scary when you get all the air knocked out of you and then held under getting the crap beat out of you. Surfing is dangerous, but the best natural high Ive ever had. Tubular
That's good training. The toughest thing with wipeouts is sometimes they happen and you don't catch your breath. When you're held under water for tens of seconds with no air it gets scary. I've been worked to the point I didn't know which way was up and have swam towards the bottom instead of up. I've also been a mile out and had a leash snap at the end of a long session where everyone got scattered, and almost didn't make the swim back in. When I got into surfing a long time ago I thought it was great that you fell in the water and couldn't get hurt (unlike skateboarding). You quickly learn you can get easily hurt or killed. The board can hit you, you can get held down or knocked out. I also surfed alone sometimes as a beginner since my roommates didn't want to wake up early. That didn't last too long as I got half knocked out one day, which was lucky. If I got knocked out completely I would have been done. Never surfed alone after that. So yeah, you have to be careful out there and never surf alone.
My boyfriend started surfing a month or two ago and I get a bit nervous every time he gets in the water!
0:19 *When your sister steals your oreos*
A wave wiped me out and I put myself in a ball and got spun around like in a washing machine for 20 seconds. Felt like minutes. Good fun
I held my breath for the entire video
Being held underwater by waves is absolutely terrifying and I’ve never even done waves that big
I love surfing my whole life but I love watching the pros do it with such Grace my hats off to all of you it was fun and the younger years God bless each and every one of you doing it
ive been held down twice i was very little and tbh it was only a rip tide but my mother helped me the first time the secound time i thought it was the end my breath was gone i opened my eyess and pushed and pushed to stand till i finaly did
and since then im unable to punctuate anything
Yukino Neno SAME
Really awesome insight into what it takes to be a surfer at that level
I can only hold my breath for ten seconds how can he do that?!!!!!
Training...lots of training! 💪
And slow movements
Anyone else hold their breath for the whole video?
That pool is beautiful
He can hold his breath for 3-4 minutes? I wonder if he had to train to get there
Samuel Acosta it does take training, but its mainly doing the same exercise every day, gradually increasing the amount of time you go under. Some people also do breathing techniques before diving, but I don't think you could apply that to big wave surfing.
I try and do that everytime i go but can only hold my breath for 2 minutes relaxed
Samuel Acosta watch the movie CHASING MAVERICKS shows it all !
Samuel Acosta I'm now able to hold my breath over five minutes after a few days of practice. I used this as a general guide fourhourworkweek.com/2009/10/30/how-to-hold-your-breath/
+Samuel Acosta I can do thatunde water for 3 minutes
3 to 4 minutes underwater? wow, i need to get back into the pool to train
This video made me breathe 𝑀𝑎𝑛𝑢𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑦
I have just started my 20ft Surf Challenge and looking forward to starting this training!
I just fell in looooove
he looks a lot like Danny macaskill!
relax and enjoy the spin cycle
Being native to the Pacific Northwest coast, the winter time is always the time of year that gets the adrenaline going because the waves double and triple up in size from the summer swells and you spend more time underwater. Even a wave that is 10 feet high can really have some power behind it and a 5 second hold down can feel like 30 seconds. Nothing like that feeling of getting washing machined under a wave.
I always wondered if these crazy surfers did any kind of training to deal with being held under massive waves.
Nobody below has ever seen an Olympic diving pool lol
that pool is insane
Holy cow, that water is DEEP!!
I get emotional just looking at a picture of a wave
That looks like an epic swimming pool. I want to go there.
The thing about surviving these hold downs is we gotta get a good gasp of air in before being driven down. Several times I have gone down face first and quickly, with little time to breathe in. Maybe this training gives us 2 minutes at the most.
i can hold my breath for exactly 2 minutes on air and im happy
The water is so deep in that pool :O looks awesome!
Absolutely awesome
i think i have to train like this too... nice vid Red Bull
Respect !
As long as you have a few red bulls before you hit the beach youll be fine mate!
AMAZING !
I swear on my life, God saved me. I remember one time, i was about 10-11 years old and the massive wave ( not really that big, but decent ) pushed me under and no matter what i did i could NOT get up. At the last second, I felt like i was gonna drown, something told me to relax and stay still. So of course, I did. I KID YOU NOT my body was turned underwater so i was facing the sky, and i was 100% able to breathe while still under water. I just sat under there in shock because, ya know, i was breathing under the water. And I was just watching the waves flow over the surface because i was at the bottom. It was scary but amazing
A smart move to train this
The pro training course focuses on how not to get dragged down by those big balls of steel
Who else holds their breath when the 2 guys are underwater haha
Not me
k
I did lol
I remember everytime I went to the beach I was always swept by the strong waves and to be honest i was the only one xD
I feel like this dude has a silver spoon in his mouth, i haven't seen anything too impressive from him but he's red bull's surfer golden boy
greatwhitepriviledge stop projecting on my comment
greatwhitepriviledge Ad hominem inbred
yeah those people tend to stick together , then they can remain elite ., blocking better younger better talent .
greatwhiteprivilege you’re the one who started it, please don’t try to lecture anyone else on the moralities of name-calling
That's similar to Army training.
+Tarvo Kallaste I recon military training might help with the anxiety of getting held down as-well
Alek Salazar Yeah this stuff is almost exactly what we did in the army.
Can you elaborate? Sincerely curious about the similarities. I was a whiskey and we never did any training that compares to this video. Thanks 😀
thats a frigging awesome pool!
VERY GOOD!
Can't even imagine a hold down at Cape Fear.
I was pushed down once. It wasn't that big of a wave because I was close to shore but it was after a hurricane so they were still kinda up there. I was on my boogie board and was knocked off by a wave and was pushed down to the bottom of the ocean and I was down under all the way to shore. I didn't know what to do so I just kinda let the wave take me
never underestimate the ocean
Believe one of the pillars is being able to hold breathe 4 to 5 min...
Mavericks movie based on true events... nice job with trainer and training
What these surfers go through is intense i train for little 4-6 ft waves haha
Lifeguards at pool= lame. RNLI lifeguard= EPIC
Well, well, well, nice!!!
How do they stay down so easily in the pool without any weightbelts/similar to hold them down?
Nico Jansen van Vuuren The deeper you go the denser your body becomes due to the pressure, making your body less boyant and easier to stay down. This is apparent if you ever start freediving.
+Mk2Brett Well it can't really become denser since it's mostly liquid and solid anyway. It does however compress the air in your lungs which has the same effect. Just exhale and see whether you sink or float; I sink. The more fat you have the better you float. It's why world class swimmers look like normal people and distance runners look like they haven't eaten in weeks.
+rnordquest You're an idiot.
When you're diving at shallower depths your bodys density is relatively close to that of the water surrounding you, the deeper you go, the density of the water around you doesn't change enough to have any real effects on your descent, however...The pressure begins to shrink your lungs, now if we go back to highschool science, which i believe is the level needed to explain this to you, Density = mass/volume, now as we descend our mass doesn't change, but Wait, did we just mention that our lungs compress due to pressure? Does this also correlate to a change in volume? Oh wow it does doesn't it! and since its inversely proportional to your volume, as our volume decreases our density is going to increase and thus you sink. These simple calculations suggest that free divers might approach or exceed neutral buoyancy due to lung compression; at the least, their buoyancy would be significantly reduced, however this doesn't take into account v(i) or D(i) at sea level, full lungs, partially full lungs what have you, any way that is irrelevant to this, therefore free divers do lose their buoyancy due to an increase in overall density, be it however small.
Mk2Brett Well aren't you quick on your horse. Thanks for the initial explanation. I am a diver, so I understand quite enough about buoyancy to know the effects of pressure on your body, volume, mass (more on my stupid asking in a bit). rnordquest Was simply pointing out that which you failed to include in your initial comment: That your effective density increases due to compression of air in your lungs. So no need for such ridicule - it did seem as though you were saying the body can compress. rnordquest If I may point this out though, if I exhale I too would sink, quite quickly in fact, but I wouldn't have air left to stay down that long now would I ;P
As for my asking in the first place (whilst claiming I know enough about buoyancy)...It may have been a bit late in the evening when watching this and I failed to notice the depth of that pool. Seems quite deep @1:07, about 5 metres + it looks like? My question was in reference to staying down at shallow depths, which I find quite difficult to do...for a skinny person at least.
+Mk2Brett Maybe that works if you're a guy with lots of muscle and like no fat, but I always had to wear a weight belt when I went skin diving, or I'd just bob to the top. Large boobs float regardless of how deep you dive and women have less muscle and more sub-cutaneous fat. I needed far less weight skin diving than SCUBA diving, but I still need around 6lbs to stay down.
IT IS DEEP
Key is stay clam in those big waves. Problem is that it's MUCH easier said then done.
ive always wondered how they deal with wipeouts in those giant waves!!
So coooool
This dude needs to start wearing sunscreen, his skin is aged terribly
Dee Jay too much sun, probably no sunscreen can take all day long expose, even renewing.
100K Subs Without Video Challenge Age spots are wrinkles are not
I don't think the sun os completley to blame probs the years of partying as a bra boy... and cocaine
+Dee Jay are any of these replies in English??
lol he is 22
excelente
I am not a surfer but I’m willing to bet that jiu jitsu would also be beneficial to big wave surfers as well.
Great advice above, thanks for posting it! Surfers know better than anyone, I think, about wave sets and rip tides, because they're out there every day. But every year there are lives lost because people do not know to respect the ocean like they should. There are special vests now, with CO2 cartridges that can go off and push you up through the mass of water to the top. We know of guys who wear these vests, when they are surfing the giant waves in those fairly unknown giant wave areas all over the world. It can really pay off, as with every few sets of waves in the ocean, there IS going to be a wave that's bigger than the previous ones, sometimes called a rogue wave. Never have anything but a huge respect for the ocean. It can do you in quite quickly if you don't know what to expect and know HOW to deal with it!
i go under for 30 seconds and im the best of my shcool swimming group but 1:30 and ill be a shrivelled up corpse floating in the water
That's a huge ass pool right there!
I been held down a pool for like 20 secs from my cousin so scary
I'm so scared of like 3 feet waves😂
Vault Boi same 😥😂😂
This would be hell for me xD
That looks like military training or something geez
Use goggles so can keep ur eyes
Open. Big game change when u blink for TO long u loose gravity and sense of direction
If you are scared of big wawes,,,
Watch this video,,,you will never step into water😂😂
That's how I used to train I had a pool in the backyard in Huntington Beach and I would challenge myself swimming underwater back and forth to see how many laps I could make holding my breath and then take it further by almost passing out but making that extra lap it works very well I only got held down once where it scared me other than that I was like a fish.
I get freaked out in the shower....this isn't a big deal :D
I have seen mark
i can hold my breath in high heartrate in the naberhood of 40 seconds and relaxed probably close to 2 minutes, and i havent had any underwater training and to top it all of i do not like swimming so i do not get that training pretty much ever
fucking legend mate
Whoa
I rmmber screwing around in a typhoon 3. Go caught up under and felt like I was pushed down. I swam up through it though. But defo need more training before doing something like that again lol
Wow, I can only hold my breath for 1:47. I'm only 14 though.
I can hole my breath for 1.12 min I have 11 years old and is really hard to do this think
i can hold my breath for 5 hours I´m only 2 months old
+RoyalTV hahahahahah
Now i can only do hold it for like 1:15 since im not in swimming right now
Looks like they had a moment underwater.
That's scary.
I haven't had the chance to ride 12+ft :(. Gulf Coast maybe puts out 6-7ft @ 7 secs with wind 24+mph.
One day I shall ride a monster
I live on the south coast of Cornwall which rarely gets swell, this is how I feel in like 3-5ft 😂
I remember getting hit by a 2 meter wave when I was at the beach as a kid, it was a small one but it felt like I was stuck to the bottom of the ocean, janky
And that’s why I only surf max 5 footers
Wrestling under water heck that looked romantic. Try simulating being in a pressure washer then you’ll be training for Nazaré!
What are you doing
I survived a three wave hold down in Puerto Escondido. Has anyone else done that? I would love to know or hear their story. I was very lucky. I thought it was game over. I survived & came out with a helluva story.
I have. Third time I came out I looked at the shore and accepted that it was it. Felt sad, not afraid.
I've only just gotten into body boarding, hopefully surfing when i get the hang of it. I've been asking around but haven't gotten a legit answer: Is there any exercises that can improve the time you can hold your breath?
For my first time getting hit by a big wave I literally shat myself but the second time I was held down then I start flipping and then went back up to surface. But my friend teached me what to do when there's a big wave. Don't run away and just turn around with your back facing the wave and hold ur breath until the wave comes , it sometimes works but mostly it works. And it feels like jumping in slowmotion
All in your body's ability to utilize oxygen efficiently. Especially as the heart rate goes up, or exertion, uses it up faster.
I always thought that when you get whipped from a big wave, you have to relax, and let the water calm down before going to the surface because if you fight against the wave, you're going to exhaust yourself and then likely running out of air before the wave settles down, which allows you to get to the surface?
Yeah i would agree with you. I've surfed 20ft wedge and 20ft pipeline and always have done that. The only thing when you're surfing big waves with shallow waters is that you want to protect your head. Only time you really want to struggle to get to the surface is if you're running out of air, but i would say 98% of the time you know when youre going to wipe out or get eaten by a wave and can take a big gasp of air before going down. But maybe this is for the 2% of times where you eat it and don't have much oxygen left in you
Pretty sure anyone who gets hit by a big wave would know that they did, and it would be second nature for them to get a decent amount of hair before plunging below, since they likely have done some work with smaller waves otherwise it'd be insane to tackle a double overhead while a beginner. Also the protecting head part is mainly concern for your board hitting you as waves of that size don't exactly show up in shallower waters.
Waves that size break over reefs that are just below the surface...
1:12 and thus is how roman gods fought
When they were swimming in that pool It actually caused me to have trouble breathing
deep pool fun
I can barely hold my breath for 30 seconds. How can he for 4 mins?.
Training
I've been to a beach and a huge wave came up behind me I was lying on my board I got slammed I was under the water hitting the ground and I couldn't get up out of the water when I got up I couldn't stay up but luckily my dad came and held me but it scary being under...
I was in Hawaii and when I was far a big wave I was like "oh shit." So I tried running away.
Wave ~ GET OVER HERE BIACH
Me ~ Run Run, U Better Get AWAY 😭
Wave ~ Letmme Drown Ya
Me ~ *Almost Dead, And Is a Drowning And For Some Reason Is Tumbling
Wave ~ Gotcha :3
Me ~ OML
lol. I remember being knocked down by a wave once and I had sand in my throat.
I got caught by one last year in Hawaii I was trying to take a cool picture in front of the wave, got hit and rolled and my ribs hurt for a while , never turn the back to the ocean
Aesthetic Yudi are you 12?
The thing is you dont run away you run into the wave.
Aesthetic Yudi stay calm and either go underwater on just stay still cause there's a thing called the undertow witch if u run away it will bring you out to the ocean ok so ya...
I now right
