    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.

    • @lesliepropheter5040
      @lesliepropheter5040 17 дней назад

      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.

  • @sambado
    @sambado 22 дня назад +4

    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.

    • @tann_man
      @tann_man 13 дней назад +1

      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.

    • @RySomerville
      @RySomerville 22 дня назад +2

    • @scotts7833
      @scotts7833 22 дня назад +2

      I think it's just that there are so many variables at pipe that other spots don't have. The difference in conditions/swells, getting stuck in caves, crazy rips that won't let you in or out, and sheer mass of surfers jockeying and pushing each other into more and more dangerous positions. Not that Teahupoo or Shipsterns aren't terrifying but those are also spots with channels and rescue skis right there. Pipe is chaos on any decent swell.

    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.

He is returning soon and he wants to take you with him but most of all he wants to have a relationship with you so just say this Jesus i am a sinner wash me in your blood forgive me of my sins set me free and encounter me!!
