um.....look. Sad story. Here are a few corrections: Freedivers don't 'often' dive in pairs - they ALWAYS dive in pairs as a standard procedural rule. Occasionally some unsafe diver's will break this rule - it's not ok. Also the normal result of a blackout is not a breath out and inhale of water, but the locking of the airways....however if the diver is below about 10 meters, they will be negative bouyant and sink rather than float from this depth. Don't freedive alone.
That Bob Barbour shot of Jay freefalling is iconic. His iron cross logo was derived from it. Sewers is a short board spot that is heavily localized. Jay was one of the few who could paddle out and get waves on a LB. He surfed 9’ plus boards like a shortboard. Legend for sure that we all miss on the Point. Biggest smile ever and such good vibes. Never jaded. Miss you bro Rip In Paradise I’ll see you soon!)
I haven’t watched yet, the title caught my eye. From some limited exposure to shallow water blackout, I am under the impression that it is often anything but terrifying. That may be part of the problem… My impression of Jay was of a free spirit, and as such he may have chosen to take some risks; he was also massively qualified and knowledgeable about his environment and his capabilities. He certainly was not constantly going around performing acts of abject stupidity. I think for anyone at that level in many kinds of endeavors, it’s tough to pass any sort of judgement unless one is also qualified to a similar level. I have heard that he was a remarkable positive force, in fact I don’t think I’ve ever heard otherwise.
I think I might have had a shallow water blackout before. I was trying to get my dad's sunglasses from the bottom of a waterslide when I was a kid and blacked out while I was swimming to the surface with them in my hand. I woke up to my dad and a lifeguard leaning over me. I don't think I was out that long because from what I remember both of them were calm. Either way, it was a lucky escape for me.
Live Like Jay! I’ve heard he was a beautiful soul. Over the years I got to know of his wife being in the same community. She is as beautiful also. They’ll see each other again on the big wave in the sky.
Was just going through some stuff and found two signed copies of a O’neill promotional picture of Jay. He visited the store in Covent Garden where I worked.
I mean how do you have an idea of what he went through? Last I heard he passed away & You're alive leaving you stupid comment about knowing what he went through 🤦♂️ but no disrespect
@@Johnny2Bags47 my reply was removed but I hope you are proud laughing at a near drowning victim. Seriously think before you write and I hope you saw my original reply. I was free diving too not surfing. Never had issues surfing. So thanks for your understanding and turning this into something else but a vid about a guy who lived his life in the water like I did. And now I can't, I wish I did pass away I am in constant pain.
@@nicktrueman224As a fellow suffer of chronic pain that is only going to get worse, there is no cure, I try not to think of how much worse. I understand what constant pain does to a person. It’s debilitating mentally as well as physically. Prayers for you to have moments of peace from your pain. God bless.
Nope a dive site you expect to have been vacated hours earlier is the last place you'll check. The last place I saw my coworker was at work, so obviously that's the first place I should check for them right? It would be crazy to assume they left that location when they were done working.
Why does this happen so often. People do very dangerous things for a living that should take them out every time they do it, But that’s not what kills them!! R.I.P. Jay, it Breaks my heart that doing something he enjoyed killed him. 😩
That's correct, it was 12-22-94; Mark Foo was surfing Maverick, now called Mavericks by surfers all over, I lived close to there and used to walk down to the cliff above Maverick to watch a few local surfers before it was known world-wide.
He WAS found on the ocean floor near the reef. He was heavy and solid and likely his lungs filled with water. Two diver friends descended using the rope that was still there where he had gone diving and found him at the bottom of the ocean floor in a static position. RIP Jay❤.
So he died being a clown. Normally you have a dive partner. Obviously he doesnt need one bcos hes better than everyone.. sooo '"live like jay".. go and dive somewhere an forget to come back out, great moto.. hes just another goose that thought he was invincible.
"Live Like Jay" is a reference to his attitude and philosophy towards life, not how he died. The day he died he wasn't diving alone, but he stayed for one more after the others left. He fucked up, but he was 23. I know good kids that have done stupider things and lived. No one had a bad word to say about him and if you watch the interviews he gave it demonstrates why. In the short time he had, he had the balls to accomplish things you would only dream of. It's ironic because your comment shows you are the exact opposite of who he was. So don't live like @ShaneMawhirt, live like Jay ;) Think about that next time you rip on someone who isn't around to defend themselves, tough guy.

This always makes me cry... what an incredible waterman whose passion for life and adventure took him where few dare to assend... Def live like Jay 🎉❤
Funny thumbnail though .you made it look like he was trapped in a cave
fuckers am I right.....
Typical thumbnail malfeasance
First rule in extreme water sports, never go alone.
Even just swimming

Sounds like you've stalked him
🙌
@@ShaneomarzGrow up. Everyone has been inspired, impressed, and appreciative of someone's talents and/or skills before.

Very good description of what happens when you drown.
He was a great inspiration. He also made all of us who wipe out spectacularly feel just a little bit less stupid. May his soul rest in peace.

Why are they showing pics of Nazare???? Jay never surfed there
Besides, Mavs is way more dangerous than Mush are'
Was thinking that exactly when I seen this. It was Mavericks not Nazzarre.
Way more dangerous than Mavericks!!!! Except for the sharks! Nazere is THE most dangerous wave in the world!!!
Live Like Jay! I’ve heard he was a beautiful soul. Over the years I got to know of his wife being in the same community. She is as beautiful also. They’ll see each other again on the big wave in the sky.
my favorite movie ever, So happy the wife is as wonderful in person

Too sad... same happened to my son, in 2008.💔
rip 🙏🙏
So very sorry to hear that. My deepest condolences.
❤️🙏
Rip 🙏
sorry man....that's sad to read! I hope you can find peace.
Chasing Maverick what a great movie
That’s not exactly what causes shallow water blackout and why it’s called that. But good info about how he got to fame.
Thank you for your work .RIP dear Jay ,seelover .
Looks like a nice guy, RIP mate.
I didn't know you but have idea what you went through.
I mean how do you have an idea of what he went through?

Such a longwinded commentary .
Yes but great pics to go along with it.
Jay died free diving.Why is the thumbnail photo indicating a cave.?
These AI generated scripts are boring as hell.
The movie is nice!
this is a stupid ai generated video
Why do you have a photo of a man stuck in rocks under water??
So young at the start of life RIP risk takers a zest for thrill caught in natures relentless misgivings...
Wouldnt u think that should have been the first place to look.. where they last seen him. Im not a detective or a magnum p.i but come on
Nope a dive site you expect to have been vacated hours earlier is the last place you'll check.

It doesn't happen often
The blood is on your hands then
Geez what bunkum.
I thought foo passed away in 94
That's correct, it was 12-22-94; Mark Foo was surfing Maverick, now called Mavericks by surfers all over, I lived close to there and used to walk down to the cliff above Maverick to watch a few local surfers before it was known world-wide.
LLJ
Free diving ALONE???
On the surfing board.
tried to be a fish and became fish bait
How is it possible that he was discovered on the ocean floor? Ridiculous. Get the facts straight when you are retelling stories of the dead. 10:32
He WAS found on the ocean floor near the reef. He was heavy and solid and likely his lungs filled with water. Two diver friends descended using the rope that was still there where he had gone diving and found him at the bottom of the ocean floor in a static position. RIP Jay❤.
You should have this taken off of RUclips why would you make this video of someone that lives happily
So he died being a clown. Normally you have a dive partner. Obviously he doesnt need one bcos hes better than everyone.. sooo '"live like jay".. go and dive somewhere an forget to come back out, great moto.. hes just another goose that thought he was invincible.
Sorry but eff free diving

Better to live like Jay than be a clown on the internet like you.
Frosty thinks to much should swap crak for weed
