- June 2015 saw possibly the biggest Indian Ocean swell of the decade - sending perfect XXL waves to Indonesia. The conditions lined up perfectly at Kandui in the Mentawais. For three days straight, some of the best surfers in the world battled it out at one of the world's most perfect left-handers.
How the hell have I never seen this before. Epic that is just perfect.
I can't wait to surf this wave. Going in September, 2018! Hope it's like this...I'm a goofy...
I hope you were lucky man,lol
How was it?
Hey bro, how was it???

tubes after tubes after tubes after tubes after tubes after tubes after tubes..
Aww man, drive me insane
Looking at my local wind slop
Beach break dunga chops

Sick surfing, great tunes.
Jesus. The only song that I can think of that's worse than the one you guys chose is Rebeca Black's "Friday"
maybe
yea for such sick waves that was kinna fcked up
Chris Rad surfers seems to hate the sound of nature.
Chris Rad at least the Rebecca's music was not about black Friday lol what I thought was the issue lol
"Due-do-do...da-duh, da-duh, dee-dah-do...maybe" What??
I can't hear anything but, "Due-do-do...da, duh, deet-dah-do...maybe"😡
Looks like cloudbreak jesus
Nate Behl's insane drop @ 0:44. THAT's how you get a video rolling. *thumbsup*
you know you are a ganster when you can not only make that drop but weave your way throug that barrel. Next level.
BRRRAAAAHHH!!!! 😮
Wow gotta catch my breath after that clip! Its like super perfect pipe but 5 times longer! Also sick soundtrack as always! Some day i will have to make it there! Till then ill watch your incredible videos!

Monstruoso demais
Around the 26th of June 2015, all Indo copped it..pretty much:)
the best video!!
Lo máximo !!!!!
incredible video
Heavy and beautiful
Choo-choo...
Where was all day Ray? Guess rifles?
Hello Mr.Wilcoxen
Hard to believe after surfing santa cruz island with you and brian davis you would actually take my advise about what i had considered the best wave in the mentawaii chain, come home after you went in 01,sold the farm and started the beautiful Kandui resort!
The man,the money,the legend
Livin the dream....
i like the song
OMG!!! A goofy footers dream!!!🌋🏝️🗺️
I think I will traveling around Indo from June - August. This will be a stop. Perfection.
i wish i could just watch this without shitty music and unnecessary slo mo
2:35 Damn Koa Smith that has to be awarded as the the wave of the eternity. He did some BIG pumps to make it through that. Unbelievable that he didnt get swallowed there.
That was just sick my feet and legs wear moving with each drop and line pull thanks made my day
Amazing! Mentawai island nice
Awesome video once you've muted the sound.
the best pros and a lot of str8ng out, scary!
6-8' nokandui so heavy
Nobody knows …. That reef is like cement with razor blades , I missed that section and got all pushed into a 1ft deep water over knives !!! And that NoKandui is sooo gnarly!!! 😜
Where can I get this song!!!!
And I thought Uluwatu was as good as it gets - there’s a whole lot more out there
Very cool video.
Keep up the good work. We look forward to seeing you soon.
the best shoot!
Some of those waves are perfect
Perfect perfection beautiful waves dreams are made of and beatings of a lifetime Im sure.
Se o campeonato mundial passa-se nesse pico e a chove notas 10
AMAZING IMAGES! Great video! Great song! Congrats, bros! ;)
Can you share the name of this music? ;)
its in the video description
Unbelievable perfection
Makes Pipeline look "average"
acoustisongs pipe has 2 sides. Split peak. Is near the sand. Pipe is special and has his magic.
Carmada Maybe
Alamo super sized
Can This wave match cloudbreak?
VERY RARELY does this happen, and the end section makes it not a fun surf, Cloudbreak is much more makeable, and breaks big much more often! So NO:)
ドローン撮影、気持ちいい！！
Great :)
One of THOSE days:) That you remember perfectly decades later, in 40 odd years of surfing ive had a LOT of perfect days around the Indo Pacific region, but 5 or 6 really stand out, with individual waves i can play back in my mind in crystal detail anytime:)[All your best waves are stored like this:)] We are all the same like this i spose. Two of these days were at Nias, not huge, 6 to 10 max, but absolutely perfect lightly offshored, airbrushed ,corduroy sets that looked like what a surf artist would paint as heaven:) The waves reeled off down the reef with not a drop of water out of place, each wave a clone of the one before, 7 second plus PERFECT barrels that never even come close like shutting down! You literally can only fall as a result of your own mistakes, the wave is a machine!! You could paddle out, drop in, and get barreled with a ciggie in your mouth ,lol. It might be a bit soggy from the spit but:) Which brings me to the point. This[Kandui] is a beautiful wave, but it closing out at the end,often locking you in so no way out but straighten and risk skin on the reef, and having to paddle further after your flogging[yehh, ime lazy,lol] stops it going in the "possible" perfect wave category:/ "Lances right" is good, but the way it barrels so high and tight, and irregularly, keeps it out too. Other waves in this area , are great waves, but i just dont see the attraction given the conditions. As in crowds, animosity, GREED, exploitation of the locals..etc:/ There are SO MANY waves in Indo alone that are rarely or never surfed, and a lot are only boat accessible, but many can be gotten to, and logistically are not a problem!! TIP.."Google Earth"!! You will be amazed at how many perfect waves you can find! Check out Nias, and Kavieng[PNG], . Good examples, detail can be amazing!!! Arugam bay in Sri Lanka also easily shows how useful this tool can be!! Get in to it! Ive found a LOT of accessible waves, more ime not so sure of. The south pacific islands and atolls have a shitload of perfect setups, some you can get to, some boat only! The one yacht trip ive done was an epic part of my life. The excitement of finding a good looking setup with google, checking it out as best you can,, then on your trip calling in there with a "hopeful" air of tension on the boat, to find.... flat:/,lol. Dropped anchor and spent the next day diving, got pissed and had a good night. Next morning, wake to the sound of waves!! YAY, not big, 4 to 6 foot hot lefts zipping down the line barrelling a half dozen times Great wall sections being thrown up to slash then drop in to the next barrel! On a big day, this place would be AWESOME!! Ok.. we all do this a lot, but this wave was a "leg jelly" job! 4 to 600 meter ride, depending on whether it was big enough to make it in to the inside of the bay, and continued to race down the reef, now only about 30 feet from dry land!! A BIG rip rushed up this inside section in front of the wave, rapidly pushing you back out:) [A bit like "pipes" rip] This wave is a great find, so were a number of others, about 1 in three setups i found on google and checked were working, and good! I did not have a great sample size, i checked 7 waves, two were working, and good, the others were not good, or not working:/ It does not take much to ruin what looks from 300 meters altitude, still shot, to be very nice, but a shallow part in the line somewhere closing the wave down, maybe only for 30 meters or less fucks it:/ A closeout end section that locks you in like Kandui is a fail for me too,lol Its quite amazing just how much detail you can see of the "best quality" google earth imagery! The offshores blowing spray off the back... the shadow of a huge lip about to fall, CHECK IT OUT:) BTW, Chopu looks a bit rough, would not have expected it to be what it was!! The reef pass next one south looks like a great lineup! Anyone know anything about it?? I have not got to Tahiti...yet:)
Man you are one spoiled human being. Has to be not one thing wrong with your surf break for you to not mention anything. Bet you'd be crying if you "had" to surf HB, lol
Spoiled maybe, but i MADE the shit happen that allowed me to live like i have man, noone gave anything to me:/
BTW, My "home" break would be either a 100 mile drive at least[Tassie], or bloody Bondi beach..Would you mention it,lol. I grew up surfing shit, i havent had to for decades, why should i when i can afford to travel to the best, and wait for the best conditions:/ I have put a lot of time in travelling to very remote locations with shit, often dangerous living conditions, and just waiting for them to fire, sometimes its worth it, sometimes its a bummer, so "spoiled"???..Hmmm, in that ive had a lot of perfect waves, maybe, but i fuckin worked for em, ime not a tourist who books a room at a resort for 14 days and takes whats on offer along with thee crowds:/ I go for months, sometimes weeks with no surf, sometimes weeks "OF" surf[i consider 3 feet up surf]. lucky dip:/ Now ime not saying i wont go out unless its perfect, but i certainly prefer too these days, i surfed Apocalypse and One palm point in the mid eightys, long before crowds, and they are not perfect, very shallow, heavy waves. Both have perfect barrel sections, but you PAY..A LOT!! Ive lost enough skin thanks:) Sounds a bit like sour grapes there bud, Have a think, there are many ways to finance a full time surfing lifestyle, gemstones for one "legal" way:/
damn, brother. you're the guy i'm looking up when i scrape together some cash to make an indo trek. shit, i'd keep buying rounds just to listen to you talk story.
hahahahahah i wish i had the decades to do it all again:) Those decades, not the ones coming, the place is fucked:(
good on y'all
Wow..
Epic! This video isn't recorded with audio. In this situation one can play their own music, instead moaning about it in the comments section. I actual think the music's fine and it fits the action :-)
Heavy...
Sinistro!!!
awesome footage!
Epic!
Back in the day I surfed this place better when there was just me and my dawg🙋🏿
Surf bums need a job!
not if they make their moneySMART:) Work is for suckers:/
Ozzie and Bruce had the best sesh out there
