How do people surf these waves without a life jacket contraption like the one he has on? I feel like you would be so confused from the ordeal that you wouldn’t know which way was up.
Same. I had no idea 10ft waves were THAT big. I found out they measure from the back! So the drop off is really 15ft+. Rode a few and got my butt kicked by a bunch more. Biggest waves ive ever seen in person. This guy is just crazy tho.
Same and id say the most accurate description is, "its like getting thrown into a laundry machine on max settings." The first time i got thrown under a wave, i tasted sea water for hours. I didnt even know where i was when i first got out, cuz the wind was pushing the waves at an angle and i ended up almost a quater mile down the beach looking for my family cuz i kept going back for more 😂
@Jxcko77 Nah I get the feeling, I boogie boarded when I was little and there was something entertaining about getting thrown around by the ocean. Like a roller coaster of sorts. Ofc none of them were even half as big as the one in this video lol
It’s like getting hit by a semi truck, and 15 guys with crowbars.. except you live, you’re not bleeding anywhere, and you’re able keep surfing 10 minutes later
Whenever I see these I hold my breath & do pushups until they're up, to get the "feel". Try taking a breath after a wave like that collapses your lungs. 🫁 Then the real fun begins! Zero oxygen until a minute of baby breaths to reinflate them (while more sets roll you on to the bottom. 🎉🎉🎉
@@MsHSpring He was fine from the fairly soft landing. When you come up with a collapsed lung, that first gasp just doesn't happen & you duck dive the next wave. On your way back up (now 20-30 seconds breathless), you plan how many baby breaths it'll take to get any meaningful oxygen in (while you stay calm to conserve when body is screaming in panic). Once 1/2 inflated you/re gtg to paddle back out.

This is why I recommend a life jacket even for experienced swimmers. When you get taken under and swirled around in every direction with your eyes closed it can be hard to tell which way is up, but you can always trust that jacket to pull you in the right direction.
I don't think he thought of, said, and recorded his verbal response while he was actually being tossed to and fro in those "conditions"...... I mean, (YES), that would be "Incredible", bc it is Impossible.
The power of these waves is Incredible. Me and my buddy at 16yo went out in a hurricane to surf. Waves had to only be 4-6ft. But a 6 footer on THAT day felt like a 12foooter. The tide was pulling back so hard that you would catch the wave and then you would literally see the ocean floor and smash down into it. Snapped my board in half. Never surfed a hurricane again
@@shaytokyo782 yea, the large waves they produce! Snapped a few boards myself over the years growing up in fl. Wiped out on a boogie board one time when the center of a 10-12 footer broke under me and just dropped me to the ground and in less than 30 seconds under water I ended up about a half mile down the beach from where I wiped out!
As someone that's a seasoned wave rider. It is not like getting hit by a semi truck. It's like being stuffed into a giant washer the size of a building. The cycle mode is on psychotic. It's consistently on spin. The tank is always full and bubbles are everywhere. When you get to the surface the bubbles stop you from locating a safe exit. And then another 100,000 gallons of water get dumped on your head in about 1 - 10 seconds. Dragging you underwater into the rinse cycle of death. Yes it's more like that. The semi truck analogy doesn't make sense to me at all.
Thank you. I was confused because the semi truck and crowbar analogy makes me think you should have bruises and broken bones, but I don't think that's what happens. Btw how do you not drown when you're pulled under?
Gee, I got dumped, rolled and dragged through shingle by a rogue wave. Hit me from behind. Gave up swimming in the sea after that. How do these people survive those monster waves!!!
You guys underestimate how rough those waves are. He was under for 10 seconds. Now imagine that being you. Underwater it don’t feel like 10 seconds it feels like a minute minimum and that’s if you don’t panic. Never mind the actual pressure of the waves. I’d rather be hit by a crowbar than millions of gallons of water, are you stupid?
@Barren_soul I never got into surfing but I liked to go in with my friends when they would surf. I had 1 really bad experience where I was just caught in the break and he isn't lying when he says you need to remain super calm. After about 90 seconds of coming up just to being pumbled and incapable of getting air, the only thing I could think of was to go as deep as I could to try and get under the wave and swim outward behind the waves. After that, I had to swim about half a km parallel to the beach to get back to shore. Those waves weren't even these GIANT waves. But the way the ocean floor is structure over here just makes the gap between breaks very very small, so you have little to no time to recover. That's what makes it so bad.
Right .. This looks like the bunny hill of waves compared to Nazare. I know damn well I would ever even think about doing it but would love to come sit on top of that cliff out there and watch those waves. I can't imagine what it sounds like and looks like in person
@Kymoe-hf4yq I live in the states now, but I was in Portugal with my wife for 5 weeks this last summer. My initial plan was to propose to her on the top of that cliff. Back at home ya know. Super romantic and wish. But then covid happened and we couldn't travel there and I couldn't wait any longer... never got that romantic proposal 😔
BroH. . it's like holding your breath for almost 10 seconds, and then surfacing to catch your breath. then a whole minute and twenty seconds passes out of nowhere. then you just catch a huge wave, NBD bruhh 🤙🏽
This is so true. It’s not surfing but having gone through navy dive school in the military. It’s so important to stay calm and not let panic set in when you’re being pummeled. There are no positives to panicking.
@@chrtravelsdon't worry it's usually the guys that did nothing that complain since they don't have anything to tell anyone about. Thanks for your service shipmate. I served in Navy and it was best time of my life. Most people couldn't make it so they just hate.
The guys on the jetskiis are just as skilled. These huge waves surfers go as a team because the waves are so massive they need to be towed onto them and rescued after
A planned retrieval or pickup that goes according to that plan is not a rescue. You don't rescue someone then drop them back into the same situation, then rescue them again, & repeat. All very hyped-up and dramatic-sounding, but very inaccurate use of the word "rescue" lol.
White water canoer here, River waves are quite a bit different from ocean waves. But when he says it’s like getting hit by a semi truck, I know exactly what he means. It’s just like a wall of water smacks you in the face/chest and it kinda hurts. It can take your breath away too. Plus if it’s early in the season the water is hypothermic and it makes you hyperventilate and freeze up. When he says you need to stay calm, he’s not kidding, if you don’t manage your breathing and stay calm, you won’t be able to self rescue. And a lot of times it’s up to you to get yourself out of the water. You just gotta take a deep breath and keep your head and feet above water, and look for an eddie. Then swim like crazy. Plus you need to grab the boat and paddle.
seems not only need to be strong enough to withstand getting hit, but then you need to be mentally prepared for all of that and then be physically fit to go through all that time without air and to swim/paddle. that's crazy. I wanted to try surfing but not anymore lol.
He forgot the most important part which is you don't know which direction is up or down when you are under a huge wave. It can take a lot of time to get above. And when you do there can be the next huge wave. It's super dangerious but I guess he didn't go though this exactly because he had a life vest
The modern impact suit brings you up. There are tabs you pull on the (shoulders’ish?) that uses cartridges to inflate. It would be horrible to ride a wave like that with a life vest, maybe impossible. I’m not a surfer (I mean I’ve been, I can, but I’m not) so someone can correct me.
@@jaxripper251 Everyone who has ever surfed waves this big has used an inflatable vest. This isn't Hawaii or California, it's Nazaré. These waves aren't 25 feet, they're more like 75 feet.
@@Icefanforyou.have you ever seen a moose after getting hit by a semi? They are much tougher than your average surfer I'll take my chances with the wave over the semi thank you.
‘getting hit by a wave is like getting hit by a semi-truck’? no it ain’t. would you rather get hit by a semi-truck than water? I’ll take the water, you can have the semi
As a person who has been gone through the situation I know exactly what is he saying is saying it's like getting beaten up and thinking ur done for it and u have to wait until that freaking wave to get over ur head .
As someone who has surfed and wiped out hard on waves I wasn’t ready for (nothing even remotely like this, but still a wipeout), the biggest thing is just to Not Panic. If you panic, you’ll burn through all the oxygen in your blood by flailing, and then you’ll drown even faster. Respect the ocean man, she will backhand you so hard the minute you don’t.
"Respect the ocean" reminds me of when I binge watched video after video of ppl climbing Mt. Everest, you can imagine some of the horror stories. "Respect the mountain" was a statement that resonated throughout the videos. Mother Nature is a beast for real & some ppl can take her beauty as a weakness.
But how does he know the feeling of getting hit by a semi truck and then getting beaten up by guys with 15 crowbars? But still this guy has guts cuz i would never do that
@@SignzNSymbolzactually, mathematically speaking in terms of energy, it’s not “much much worse” And to the bozo above you, he is pretty tough. Sure, he’s not the hardest guy in the world but stop being a douche.
I am a beginner-intermediate kite surfer. A few weeks ago, after not surfing for a while, I went to surf on a stormy day. The waves were between 1.5-2 meters- which is nothing compared to those in this video. But still, I got hit by one and lost orientation and couldn't breath for 5-10 seconds. I was so overwhelmed by the experience that I had a panic attack- which I never had before. I was able to safely go back to shore, and after a couple of minutes went back surfing. My point is- 1) Know your limits, 2) Push your limits slowly. Like the guy said- he trained a lot to be able to stay calm under those conditions. So Keep safe Guys!
Sudden water pressure, your entire body is screaming but you can't take a single breath, or you drown. Floating in the ocean is different than being shoved 20 feet underwater by a wave.
It definitely helps if you realize that you are going to get hit with enough time to get a breath. You don't want to have just exhaled and get stuck under a big wave. Some of the larger ones can keep you under for over a minute if you are really unlucky.
i’ll never forget the first time my dad took me to sandy’s beach oahu and i got wiped out by a wave that was nothing to compared to the wave on this video but i remember feeling like i was under water forever and then i finally surfaced and asked my dad how long i was under and he said only about 2 seconds 😂 i was so terrified and confused lol.😂 was a good experience to have as a young kid tho
My thoughts. I know the wave is insane and hits like a ton of bricks but that's the thing. LIKE a ton of bricks. Not actually this guy has never been hit with a crowbar that's for dang sure or he wouldn't compare the two
I’ve never dived and probably never will, but for some reason I’m obsessed with this channel. It’s so cool to listen to people talk about the thing they’re passionate about.
as someone with very limited experience with waves, the worst thing about getting hit by a big wave (without surfing) is how disorienting it is. holding your breath is one thing, but even when it calms down you don't know where you're facing, where you're supposed to be swimming, how long you have left before you can take a breath...
Fortunately when you’re surfing, most of the time you have a leash, and that leads cord connected to the floating board can give you some sense of what direction to climb.
I am thankful to have learned this while attending Palisades, California YMCA Camp when I was 10 years old. We frequently trekked down to the beach or busses our way to Malibu. On one occasion, if I had not learned this simple lifesaving advice... I'm am so thankful and blessed. Life is beautiful! Thank you for sharing this information.
That's what I was thinking. It is probably painful but when you know your vest will surface you and a jetski is close it can't be that hard to stay calm, really.
@@piiinkDeluxe plus he wasn't under water for all that time. And the suit should be able to absorb some of the water shock against the skin not by design but for sure it's better than bare skin, maybe there's an Idea for future borders 🤔💡
I can’t even begin to imagine staying calm in a situation like this. Even if you’re trained, some people just posses a certain X factor that gets them through something as incredible and terrifying as a wave the size of a six story building.
Actually to prevent things like this, I built in some muscle memory. Constantly train with smaller waves to when you feel a slight loss of balance, or hear the waves catching up to you, immediately, and I mean immediately tense your muscles or prepare for impact in your own way. This reduces the pain a lot more. Also wear a wetsuit. It helps a lot. Physical and mental fortitude is needed, but this helps so much with the initial impact.
@@Huobaojiqiespecially starting out. If you’re not used to it from like boogie boarding. 3 fters feel like 8ft when you’re trying to stand up. But eventually you get used to it and soon you will be ripping 10ft
I've seen way bigger. In the comfort of my home. On a screen. On youtube. Watching a video. Completely safe. Completely content and Completely fine. It was intense.
I'm pretty sure he's making it sound worse than it is... I'm sorry, I've been hit by some big waves... crushed you might say. Admittedly never as big as the ones he's surfing. I also wasn't using a floatation vest like he is, and while getting hit by a truck might hold some parallels, there were never any people with crowbars hiding inside my waves. 😂😂
Sometimes when I surf 4m swells getting thrown around alot it is insane and it can take a while to build up the ability to just go lifeless to conserve breath and energy, I could not imagine surfing waves this big!
A wave 1/20th that size bruised and fractured 4 ribs. One of the most painful and scary accidents I have ever had. You are very brave, possibly a little crazy but you need that to do what you do. Keep safe.
This guy has no clue what it feels like to get hit by a semi or hit by crowbars lmfao. It's not even remotely close to comparable. You can get right back up and do it again, it's a minor inconvenience, no physical injury other than if you're dumb and surf near rocks...
I went body boarding when there where some giant waves cause i underestimated the power of the ocean and got slammed way down in the water, fought to swim up but as soon as i got up and took a deep breath another monster slammed into me and that happened 4-5 times in a row. I thought I was going to drown that day. After the first wave I went into survival mode and stopped panicking, and just conserved the precious air I had left. 21 years ago and I haven't been back in the ocean since.
if wiping out was actually that bad you wouldn’t be able to hop back on the board and do it 5-6 more times. way to exaggerate like crazy tho, been surfing big waves my entire life, it ain’t that deep dawg, it has its dangers like anything else but it is not anything of what this man is describing 🤣😭 leave this stuff to the red bull guys that don’t exaggerate please

@@chrtravelsdon't worry it's usually the guys that did nothing that complain since they don't have anything to tell anyone about. Thanks for your service shipmate. I served in Navy and it was best time of my life. Most people couldn't make it so they just hate.
The guys on the jetskiis are just as skilled. These huge waves surfers go as a team because the waves are so massive they need to be towed onto them and rescued after
Most of the people on the jets are surfers themselves. Not always, but often they just switch, as surfers best know what other surfers need!
A planned retrieval or pickup that goes according to that plan is not a rescue.
You don't rescue someone then drop them back into the same situation, then rescue them again, & repeat.
All very hyped-up and dramatic-sounding, but very inaccurate use of the word "rescue" lol.
Enormous respect for the jet skier who has to find a dot that is the surfer in the mass of foam and monster waves. All in record time!
It appeared in my recommendations and it looked like you were in the clouds
White water canoer here, River waves are quite a bit different from ocean waves. But when he says it’s like getting hit by a semi truck, I know exactly what he means. It’s just like a wall of water smacks you in the face/chest and it kinda hurts. It can take your breath away too. Plus if it’s early in the season the water is hypothermic and it makes you hyperventilate and freeze up. When he says you need to stay calm, he’s not kidding, if you don’t manage your breathing and stay calm, you won’t be able to self rescue. And a lot of times it’s up to you to get yourself out of the water. You just gotta take a deep breath and keep your head and feet above water, and look for an eddie. Then swim like crazy. Plus you need to grab the boat and paddle.
seems not only need to be strong enough to withstand getting hit, but then you need to be mentally prepared for all of that and then be physically fit to go through all that time without air and to swim/paddle. that's crazy. I wanted to try surfing but not anymore lol.
Respect from an old skateboarder. It's forced zen. Give in or get torn apart. ❤
These surfers are actually insane

I liked your comment as you were stuck at 9.
@@nifty_stories heyyy. Thanks for lookin out. ♥
@@shanbhogue now it's a party! Appreciate you
He forgot the most important part which is you don't know which direction is up or down when you are under a huge wave. It can take a lot of time to get above. And when you do there can be the next huge wave. It's super dangerious but I guess he didn't go though this exactly because he had a life vest
The modern impact suit brings you up.
There are tabs you pull on the (shoulders’ish?) that uses cartridges to inflate.
It would be horrible to ride a wave like that with a life vest, maybe impossible.
I’m not a surfer (I mean I’ve been, I can, but I’m not) so someone can correct me.
Yea so in other words he cheated. Real surfers never used life jackets on big waves. Go eddie
@@jaxripper251what the f
@@aliendrifts did I stutter mf?
@@jaxripper251 Everyone who has ever surfed waves this big has used an inflatable vest. This isn't Hawaii or California, it's Nazaré. These waves aren't 25 feet, they're more like 75 feet.
“Breathtaking calmness” LITERALLY 😭
The jet skiers are just as crazy and out there saving lives
The jet ski riders ARE the surfers. They take turns.
This man is vastly overestimating his ability to be hit by semi trucks and crowbars.
It's like being hit by a wave.
I doubt you've riding a wave that big have you?
You're don't know what you're talking about
That's what I thought. I guess people don't go through very difficult things these days.
@@Icefanforyou.have you ever seen a moose after getting hit by a semi? They are much tougher than your average surfer I'll take my chances with the wave over the semi thank you.

As a serious diver, this is a great analogy

Cameraman never dies 😎🫡
15 crowbars to the face after being hit by a semi truck? Come on bruh. Stop the cap. We know those waves hurt, but don't exaggerate
I've surfed, been hit by waves and i've been hit by a car, i know which one is preferable, daft melt.
Yes, but this is a truck!😂😂😂
Sounds like a relaxing sport.
Yeah those who can't relax wouldn't be able to do it more than once
Camera man always survives
He is the cameraman
Semi truck? Let's not exaggerate. You're not breaking bones and bleeding out. it's still liquid, not steal.
As someone who has surfed and wiped out hard on waves I wasn’t ready for (nothing even remotely like this, but still a wipeout), the biggest thing is just to Not Panic. If you panic, you’ll burn through all the oxygen in your blood by flailing, and then you’ll drown even faster.
Respect the ocean man, she will backhand you so hard the minute you don’t.
"Respect the ocean" reminds me of when I binge watched video after video of ppl climbing Mt. Everest, you can imagine some of the horror stories. "Respect the mountain" was a statement that resonated throughout the videos. Mother Nature is a beast for real & some ppl can take her beauty as a weakness.
calling the ocean a “she” is weird hahaha in my language it’s a male pronoun
I appreciate the extra reminder to relax, to conserve oxygen therefore one’s intelligence. Can’t hear this wisdom enough.
Mother nature. So it's prob a she 😁?. She brought u into this world & she can take u out ?@@williansouza8724

You know it’s redbull when he just continues 😅
But how does he know the feeling of getting hit by a semi truck and then getting beaten up by guys with 15 crowbars?
But still this guy has guts cuz i would never do that
He wants us to think hes tough.
Yeah... I think if he put that theory to the test he'd find getting hit by a semi would be much, much worse.
@@SignzNSymbolzactually, mathematically speaking in terms of energy, it’s not “much much worse”
And to the bozo above you, he is pretty tough. Sure, he’s not the hardest guy in the world but stop being a douche.
Damn thats hardcore...its not just 15 guys each with a crowbar, its multiple guys each armed with 15 crowbars. Thats intense!
We will find out. I just posted a question about the ratio of guys to crowbars. Stick around and we’ll find out together!
@@thedodsonful"guys with 15 crowbars" real question is how many guys
@@alpacalipsprofit9610 you’re absolutely right. I hope we will get this mystery sorted…

Gets up,
... Goes back out to try again.

I am a beginner-intermediate kite surfer. A few weeks ago, after not surfing for a while, I went to surf on a stormy day. The waves were between 1.5-2 meters- which is nothing compared to those in this video. But still, I got hit by one and lost orientation and couldn't breath for 5-10 seconds. I was so overwhelmed by the experience that I had a panic attack- which I never had before. I was able to safely go back to shore, and after a couple of minutes went back surfing. My point is- 1) Know your limits, 2) Push your limits slowly. Like the guy said- he trained a lot to be able to stay calm under those conditions. So Keep safe Guys!
Can’t even imagine. Even being held under by a 4 ft wave is scary af
Now you're a certified Redbull surfer
I’m an adrenaline junkie. There is no way I could bring myself to do this. Hats off Kai.
You absolute legend.
then ya not much of an adrenaline junkie now are you.
Isn’t that the opposite of being an adrenaline junkie?
I’ve never seen anyone get up from being hit by a semi truck just saying
>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tidal >>>>>>>>>>>>
"It's kinda hard to describe but it's like getting struck by lightning 🌩️ 3 times in a row"
Bro risked his life just to educate us
What a legend
Looked to me like 10 secs of pretty gnarly wiping then chilling in the ocean with a float vest on?
except every 15 to 30 seconds there is the next wave coming.
@@MUuulerOriginalexactly, but as op said, you have a vest during this time and rescue support close by.
Doesn't mean you dont go without air sometimes for 1-2min
Nah, you didn’t see those 15 crowbars under the water. Man was fighting hits life.
Sudden water pressure, your entire body is screaming but you can't take a single breath, or you drown.
Floating in the ocean is different than being shoved 20 feet underwater by a wave.
It definitely helps if you realize that you are going to get hit with enough time to get a breath. You don't want to have just exhaled and get stuck under a big wave. Some of the larger ones can keep you under for over a minute if you are really unlucky.
I respect this so much, to train your body to succeed in the place you have chosen to dwell. Overcoming fear takes time, but it can be done.
i’ll never forget the first time my dad took me to sandy’s beach oahu and i got wiped out by a wave that was nothing to compared to the wave on this video but i remember feeling like i was under water forever and then i finally surfaced and asked my dad how long i was under and he said only about 2 seconds 😂 i was so terrified and confused lol.😂 was a good experience to have as a young kid tho
He should’ve drank Red Bull. Doesn’t it give you wings?
This guy has never been beat up
My thoughts. I know the wave is insane and hits like a ton of bricks but that's the thing. LIKE a ton of bricks. Not actually this guy has never been hit with a crowbar that's for dang sure or he wouldn't compare the two
As a surfer, I can relate (not that I’m good enough to ride a wave like that, but I’ve had my fair share of wipeouts)
Respect for this guy
Y'all came to my Cane's while we were at work and gave us free drinks, thank you!! Please again
I’ve never dived and probably never will, but for some reason I’m obsessed with this channel. It’s so cool to listen to people talk about the thing they’re passionate about.
as someone with very limited experience with waves, the worst thing about getting hit by a big wave (without surfing) is how disorienting it is. holding your breath is one thing, but even when it calms down you don't know where you're facing, where you're supposed to be swimming, how long you have left before you can take a breath...
I think it's cool
Yesss! Not knowing which way is up sucks!!
@@thalobluejust hold spacebar
so it doesnt feel like 15 crowbars?
Fortunately when you’re surfing, most of the time you have a leash, and that leads cord connected to the floating board can give you some sense of what direction to climb.
I am thankful to have learned this while attending Palisades, California YMCA Camp when I was 10 years old. We frequently trekked down to the beach or busses our way to Malibu. On one occasion, if I had not learned this simple lifesaving advice... I'm am so thankful and blessed. Life is beautiful!
Thank you for sharing this information.
You also have a vest designed to keep you afloat in heavy swell 😅 take that vest off and it's completely different
That's what I was thinking. It is probably painful but when you know your vest will surface you and a jetski is close it can't be that hard to stay calm, really.
@@piiinkDeluxecool let’s chuck you in there then shall we?
@@JamieG. i really am not keen to feel the pain but I also feel like I wouldn't fear for my life.
But who knows. 🤷🏽♀️
How much would you pay me? 😆
@@JamieG. also, it took him 8 seconds to surface. That's quick.
@@piiinkDeluxe plus he wasn't under water for all that time.
And the suit should be able to absorb some of the water shock against the skin not by design but for sure it's better than bare skin, maybe there's an Idea for future borders 🤔💡
I can’t even begin to imagine staying calm in a situation like this.
Even if you’re trained, some people just posses a certain X factor that gets them through something as incredible and terrifying as a wave the size of a six story building.
Actually to prevent things like this, I built in some muscle memory. Constantly train with smaller waves to when you feel a slight loss of balance, or hear the waves catching up to you, immediately, and I mean immediately tense your muscles or prepare for impact in your own way. This reduces the pain a lot more. Also wear a wetsuit. It helps a lot. Physical and mental fortitude is needed, but this helps so much with the initial impact.
As a skateboarder and snowboarder, I have huge respect for surfers. The ocean is scary as hell man. I couldn’t do it personally
Have you seen skate infinity. It's a good show highly recommend it.
It's a bit softer than concrete though, usually..
As a guy who just started taking surfing lessons I also respect the guy cuz god damn the ocean waves are scary asf💀💀
Some slams on a skateboard are equivalent to getting hit by a fiat and 2 dudes with slapping you. You’re still tough don’t worry.
@@Huobaojiqiespecially starting out. If you’re not used to it from like boogie boarding. 3 fters feel like 8ft when you’re trying to stand up. But eventually you get used to it and soon you will be ripping 10ft
That picture of the huuge wave and the tiny him riding it and always making it out is so satisfying 😍
That wave is from Nazare🇵🇹
I've seen way bigger. In the comfort of my home. On a screen. On youtube. Watching a video. Completely safe. Completely content and Completely fine. It was intense.
I'm pretty sure he's making it sound worse than it is... I'm sorry, I've been hit by some big waves... crushed you might say. Admittedly never as big as the ones he's surfing. I also wasn't using a floatation vest like he is, and while getting hit by a truck might hold some parallels, there were never any people with crowbars hiding inside my waves. 😂😂
Sometimes when I surf 4m swells getting thrown around alot it is insane and it can take a while to build up the ability to just go lifeless to conserve breath and energy, I could not imagine surfing waves this big!
A wave 1/20th that size bruised and fractured 4 ribs. One of the most painful and scary accidents I have ever had. You are very brave, possibly a little crazy but you need that to do what you do. Keep safe.
This guy has no clue what it feels like to get hit by a semi or hit by crowbars lmfao.
It's not even remotely close to comparable. You can get right back up and do it again, it's a minor inconvenience, no physical injury other than if you're dumb and surf near rocks...
I went body boarding when there where some giant waves cause i underestimated the power of the ocean and got slammed way down in the water, fought to swim up but as soon as i got up and took a deep breath another monster slammed into me and that happened 4-5 times in a row. I thought I was going to drown that day. After the first wave I went into survival mode and stopped panicking, and just conserved the precious air I had left. 21 years ago and I haven't been back in the ocean since.
its true i was the 2nd wave
Well, camera man never dies 😊😊😊
The camera is the real life totem of undying..cameraman never dies..😮
if wiping out was actually that bad you wouldn’t be able to hop back on the board and do it 5-6 more times. way to exaggerate like crazy tho, been surfing big waves my entire life, it ain’t that deep dawg, it has its dangers like anything else but it is not anything of what this man is describing 🤣😭 leave this stuff to the red bull guys that don’t exaggerate please
So incredible!!! 🌊Strength!! And that rainbow on the horizon!! 😍
These words are, for some reasons, extremely motivating. in the most difficult moments, calm, which can be trained, makes us strong and wise
I would not survive if I went through that 😂
its pretty ez actually, all the dude has to do is use the money to charter a ride out there for x amount of hours.
basically, p2w
@@BxBxProductions Still risking his life tho, wouldn't say ez
@@ThinWhiteDooky Time spent underwater is no more than 10 seconds. You risk nothing man
Big talk from a guy who's obviously never been hit by a truck or beaten by 15 guys with crowbars. If he was, he wouldn't be here to compare it. Baby.

The part where you surfed the waves again even after that experience is what I like the most ✊
I love how you can count. So amazing
This sounds EXACTLY what meningitis feels like. Btw.
The pain until you’re numb
Except, you have to wait until someone comes save you & usually black out by then. And just hope someone finds you
Just wanted to say that… bc every sentence you spoke sounded exactly what I wanted to say when someone asked me what it felt like… but I couldn’t put into words
Amazing how this is a metaphor for life itself. Ride the waves. Stay calm.
