So much respect for the Life guards
Nice to see helmets are more accepted, these days.
Yeah it is imo an essential for reefs, hoodie at the very least.
All day long - like who drive a car these days without a belt on?
I'm not a surfer but a skier and seeing airbags being mainstream, would this be an option for surfers to keep them afloat and just spin instead of be slammed down rocks?
I feel like JOB helped a lil with that.
@@cedric2516 they already have them. some come built into the wetsuit and its just a co2 cartridge that when ripped inflates airbags on the suit and keeps you afloat. pretty similar to the avalanche bags skiers and snowboarders use.
That ski driver is top notch 🍻
All Hawaiian lifeguards especially NS ones beyond words top notch!
We need a series following the north shore lifeguards. Must be a wild job
This video could of been 1 hour long
should*
*have
a lot of these clips are in the life of kai vid of the pipeline which is much longer
❤
No
Those lifeguards are the real deal. Thanks for keeping em all safe!!
Not having Jamie speak in this video is criminal RB😢
Pipeline is so easy for him there were no good sound bites from his interview.
@@domer808lmao thinking the same thing
Been there on a smallish day, 4-5 feet. The power of the ocean on the north shore is insane. It's crazy to see it in person and how close to shore first reef breaks. I can't believe people charge it the way that they do every time it is hairy, especially with the crowd. It's hard to explain how gnarly surfing is at a spot like this given what lurks just beneath the surface.
There’s no swimming at that beach, you need a surf board to go in that water, super windy. The beach suddenly drops off, close to shore, so waves would hit clos, yeah.
Pipeline is like the toxic ex girlfriend.... DANGEROUS as hell but BEAUTIFUL enough to keep you looking back 👀
Both leave claw marks on your back too.
You've got it backwards. Your toxic ex girlfriend is like Pipeline ... a mob of dudes working a gaping hole.
@@xyzct and you wake up next day with rash
@@xyzct LMAO
Pipe is your ex with borderline personality disorder. Fckin crazy but you just can’t help but want more😂
I remember I went to Pipeline in the summer and the water was so calm it looked like a bay, You would never have guessed what epicness it was capable of in the season. Love Hawaii.
bro the shot at 1:57 was spectacular. perfect imagery of what it's like to get ripped over the falls
Lifeguards and ski drivers ❤❤❤❤❤❤ heroes!
That Mark Healy wave @ 0:54 is so awesome I love the colors!
Totally agree and it's my favorite color : a mix between Blue and Green (Turquoise Teal)
Sitting here recovering from a torn shoulder labrum surgery, and that was only from a 5 footer in a relatively safe area. This is absolutely insane.
That's crazy! What happened?
It is dangerous indeed. But the crowd plays a huge role in the statistics. And the amount of people that risk themselves in tricky close out waves down the reef breaking in dangerous spot that should be avoided at all costs, just to get a picture of a surfing pipe experience is pretty mad.
It’s an absolute nightmare to surf when it’s at the “professional” level unless you know half the guys in this video. Keep in mind, there are breaks at ehukai beach 100 yards away that are cool and good and nobody will hassle you. There are breaks all over the island that are accessible. THIS break is reserved for the best of the best. You step up, you better know what you are doing. And if you seriously want in, it’s like getting in at a cool bar; go everyday, on the off hours and in bad weather, so that the real ones know you. If you just show up on a 10/10 day I promise you will not have a good time.
Only because of the crowd in the line up. Plenty of more or as dangerous waves for sure.
pipeline is no joke. I hope one day to visit and watch
WISDOM !!!
Well now we got that we just have to get koa Rothmann to wear a helmet too.😅🤙🏄
No but i agree, for its size, pipeline might be in the top rows of the most dangerous waves on the planet
Absolute respect for these guys. I wear a helmet even on the small stuff, just to protect and for sun. Teaching my younger one to surf and i make sure she wears one too. You can see more people wearing them which is a good thing - no body cares or says anything.
I surf Florida, going to tame Pipe soon, show the locals how to do it.
Oh you some bad man huh?
@@jetme8815 yeah. Im the best.
@@jetme8815He break his stick, he so bad.
If the waves don't pound you, the locals will.
Don't mess with Da Hui!
Shout out to Hawaiian water patrol!!
No. Its the most surfed dangerous wave that. Thats why so many have died. Imagine if that many people surfed The Cave, or Cyclops, or Ours.
Ok bud. Argue with the grave
💯
@@byronbass5485Shhh, silence peon
The video stated the crowds are part of what makes Pipeline dangerous.
@@leeboy7139 No I mean that just because so many people surf it is why the death count is so high. The crowd itself does make it dangerous but I mean that statistically speaking if you have a ton of people surf an already dangerous wave then it will of course have the most deaths just probabilistically.
Meanwhile the skateres: here, hold my concrete
I stayed on the North Shore to surf and the day I arrived at the hostel the owner was giving me a tour when someone ran up to him and informed him his friend had just broken his neck on Pipeline.
I know next to nothing about surfing, but Shipsterns Bluff looks much scarier.
Never gets old.
It’s coming. . .
Only because it’s so crowded. If Teahupoo had pipe crowds, it’d have pipe beat by a long shot. A big swell at chopes makes 6 foot pipe look like amateur hour. Pipe also can’t hold anywhere near the size chopes does. Not to mention the reef there is very much alive, nearly dry and razor sharp.
Challenger: I have a challenge.
Red Bull: Not interested.
Challenger: I have a deadly play.
Red Bull: Come sign up
Pad up. Stay as safe as you can.
shoulda had koa rothman on this, bro just took a gnarly hit at pipe and still hasn't fully recuperated, he's trying but its for sure going to be a battle where he's gotta lock the fuck in and stop partying to get back
pro surfers are psychos man. can't really expect anything different from the people who live on the edge like that.
i need more !!!!!
How many of you audibly gasped while watching this video?
i had no idea the water was that shallow, thought had to go to deep water to get those waves
That's how basically all surfs work. The sand banks/reefs displace the water as its pushes over them. The water is higher there because the sea bottom is higher. The height of the wave is usually where it's the most shallow.
It's no secret that Nazare is.
Nazare enters the chat
Yes
I've raced motorcycles, raced downhill mountain bikes, and did extreme backcountry snowboarding... nothing came closer to killing me and heavy water surfing. The ocean is trying to kill you and is unrelenting. Those who know, know.
pro surfers and lifeguards gaslighting and gatekeeping, a tale as old as time
The future revealed: exclusive interview with Binance's CEO
was about to say this is just clips from life of kais vid
o my thats crazy stuff
the most accessible for sure
Not really but the number of surfers, reef involved and time it's been ridden equals highest ratio of injuries and death. For Cali surfers I am sure it's the most dangerous wave in the world, it's the closest good reef break to the west coast of America.
West coast of Australia
I agree. Grew up down south there’s some stupidly heavy stuff down there. Then there’s the Bluff, Gnaraloo and Jakes to keep you on your toes up North.
Filmed from US perspective... what they really mean when they say "most dangerous wave in the world" is "most dangerous place in the US".
1 cubic meter of water weighs 1 metric ton. Fun + accessible + shallow + powerful = body count.
Rebuild Haiku stairs. Reopen Sacred Falls trail.
Big wave surfing is so gnarly, might as well ride a fucking avalanche 😂
Given that lifeguards are watching every drop, not the most dangerous. The most glamorized perhaps
whocares if you got the whole US coastguard/military "watching," they are not preventing any of the falls you take before you hit the reef within the 3 second span you screw up, they only come to save you from drowning or retrieve your body if u really fck up. theres like 3-4 ft of water depth in some spots with sometimes 10, 12 ft waves, thats hella dangerous.
I watched the full video waiting to see Jamie..
Nazare- Hold my beer.
great video cant wait till redbull stops using 70 year old rock man music
Says 45 year old baldy..💩🤣🤣
Appreciate 🌎 your Privilege '°°%
WHERE IS JAMIE????
One of the most crowded
sound track beat name ?
ocean power💙
People who sent it without a helmet, will live in infamy.
Pipeline is the most dangerous place to surf.
Hands down.
Not even close.
I went to the NORTH SHORE in 2000.
The locals told me it was 4 to 6 feet.
4 to 6 feet HELL!!
IT WAS EVERY BIT 15 ft PLUS.
You could see the dead reef sucking up in about 1 foot of water.
I surf.
I've been out at CAPE HATTERAS on HURRICANE swells.
I wouldn't go out at PIPE if someone put a gun to my head.
However while I was there I did surf SUNSET BEACH.
It breaks way out in a channel where the water is deep enough so if you wipe out you won't get ripped to shreads.
Even then I almost drowned.
Got caught in the inside duck diving under 15 foot waves.
You stay under the water for about a minute only to come up for air with ANOTHER 15 footer coming your way.
Honest to GOD.
I kissed the beach when I got to shore.😅
If as many people surfed The Right in Western Australia as pipeline the death toll/injury toll would be horrific.
No. The WEDGE owns that title. Mhofwiw.
ONDE IMPRESSIONANTI
Is it even a question? I think it 100% has the most recorded deaths, and knocks out the most people.
It comes down to the body count… I think Pipe has the highest 🏄🏼♂️🎣🤙🏻
WTF is the point of the first pink letters in the middle of the screen in the best moment????? COMEON !!!!
Has anyone ever died or become seriously injured there, like paralyzed ?
Be careful kids.
The unpredictable high is a seductive death wish in disguise guys. Carefully choose your priorities in life.
✌️🌴🙏
crazy
The birthplace of over inflated egos!
Red Bull didn't include JOB for comments?
He was too busy counting his cash.
softboard merchant
Yeah...like no JOB in a Red Bull video about Pipeline? WTF?
what if they just put padding onto the rocks
dont forget nazare
How does RedBull do a video on Pipeline and the dangers of surfing Pipeline and not have Jamie O'Brien, F'ing JOB in the video? Seriously? WTF! He literally lives steps away and is one of RedBull's most famous surfing athletes and is one of the best to ever surf Pipe. Almost every pro is this video has gone to JOB for knowledge on Pipe.
Where is JOB...
Uh...He's busy telling everyone wear a helmet as he was knocked unconscious at Pipe last year and almost lost the "water vs air" lung war while injured...though God Bless Him...He never flatlined. He's wearing his helmet now....showing it in his vids...pretty one...Red Bull stickers all over it.
Easy
He's waiting in the closet. Go get 'im! ;-)
sometimes they can't just due to scheduling conflicts
Teahupoo тоже хороша....
there is quite not dangerous waves, mainly dangerous people.
know youself , know where you go or look and learn before practicing ,
if you doubt, don't go or protect yourself .... and ?
ENJOY ! :)
Crazy ❤🎉
If Kate bosworth can surf it, I can too!
Got to be hot and crazy to be fun….😂
regarding the wave itself, the answer is no. There are a lot of regulary surfed spots in the world much more dangerous than Pipeline
🎉🎉
The answer to that question is….NO….come spend a winter in Ireland 🇮🇪 Il show you dangerous waves….pipe’s in the limelight and full of locals and traveling surfers so of course there’s going to be more injuries.. If there was 100 people surfing Riley‘s every day all winter there would be just as many injuries🤙🏼🇮🇪💯%
Tahiti most dangerous
By the numbers of people who have died there. YES.
Pipe, Chopes and The Wedge have killed or paralyzed more surfers than any other waves.
Where was JOB in this, he literally lives a small walk away from pipe, tf Red Bull 😢
It was windy on the day that the film crew showed up.. Job though it was too blowy.
@@johneeeemarry34 fair, still would have loved to see him in this
For the Pros not the fools
If you are a regular of these kinds of reefs you will be scarred head to toe. I wear a helmet or hoodie every time I'm out. Your crazy not to.
umm----no
Of course it isnt....
7
No.!
No
🕷️💙🏄🏿♂️💙🕷️
No.
Nah
No Jamie making everyone look like amateurs on a soft top? This is sacrilegious. Really disappointed Red Bull. Shame on you. Jamie gives us guys in our 40's something to believe in.
Teahupo’o
Hopefully they pay for this
Not tax payers
Aah shut up, do you know how much money the sport of surfing brings into the North Shore economy?
@CleverAccountName303 who cares
Why should life guards risk saving thrill seakers? Why should tax payers the large majority of them never stepping foot in the this break.
It also brings lots of problems
Lots! My brother lived there
