The coldness of the water, the intense roar of the wave crashing down behind you, as you balance on a board, An instant in time with nothing else in mind, just being one with the ocean and truly living the moment..✌😎
If this footage weren't so thoroughly documented, I'd swear this was CGI. The camera motion is so fortunate, and the wave looks so perfect it really does look almost pre-arranged. Not only a spectacular ride but it's gotta be some of the best surf cinematography ever.
no problem...if you hav never seen this movie check it out. you can buy it used on Amazon and is really badass even if you are not a surfer. A group of surfers following big storms around the world chasing big waves...its very well shot and the surfing is phenominal! Billabong Odyssey is the name of the movie
The Biggest wave ever surfed was ridden by Mike Parsons at Cortes Bank, CA. The wave was measure by the billabong XXL judges at 77 feet which is the biggest recorded wave ever surfed. See the Shralp Surf video of the 2008 Billabong XXL awards.
Good God I think I was more nervous watching this than he was while surfing that thing. What a majestic scene, and what a brave guy. I wouldn't do that if I were paid 100 million dollars. Okay maybe I would but that's beside the point.
Mike Parsons exclusive interview Surfing - Tuesday October 26 2004 Big wave rider Mike Parsons takes time out from the 60-footers to answer YOUR questions Q - Katie Spain: What is your most memorable surfing experience? Parsons: Oh that'll be the wave at Jaws. It's the wave you see me surfing in the beginning of the film Billabong Odyssey. That was a 64 foot wave and, well just watch it, you'll see why it was my most memorable surfing experience.
@TheSerpentKing *slowly looks at you and holds his cheek* Sir, the fact that you have not seen Star Wars and did not know I was parodying the other guy has left the sting that only a slap could on my cheek.
We have speed radars when we go out for this 2 week surfing safari....I was clocked at 200km/h coming off the top of the wave.....man it was such a rush
Hey is this an original soundtrack? I'd like to know the name of the song otherwise because it is beautiful and worked beyond just good for this scene.
77 feet,90 feet,all I know is I dropped into a 12 foot vertical face @ Monster Hole (south side Sebastian Inlet,Fl),and shit 1,000 bricks.Are these guys Fargin'nuts...no just unfreaking awesome!!!!!
@TheCrocHunter1 sorry mate, I can't believe that. 200 is way too much. such speed - and u cannot keep your eyes open or even keep control over your body. To anyone who doubts this; just try to put your head and a hand out of a car which is driving that fast, and you'll see.
@TheSerpentKing He's right. I know because I surf where only 25 people in the galaxy know about. I am part of the super-secret "Biggest Wave in the Galaxy" surfing club. If one of any of the 25 of us reveal the wave locatoin we would be "Bantha Fodder" and I mean literally. Every galactic standard year for 2 galactic standard weeks you are guaranteed waves of between 8 and 120 parsecs. I was very, very, very lucky in 25 ABY to get a 150 parsecer. I shit but I had no choice but to ride it out.
for some reason i find this one of the most inspiring videos ive ever seen
The music and the film footage are excellent together...it's one of my favorite videos.

The best big wave scene I ever seen. Congrats to the film maker.

The most amazing ride on the most amazing wave...

Finally found the song: "Hawaiian Dreams" by Dorian Cheah
Look at that monster break! Are you kidding me.....Awesome!!
there's a moment there where I can see him worrying that he might have left the gas on at home.

it's the opening shot in the film Billabong Odyssey. it's on netflix.

@LethanL
I agree 100%. The helicopter angle seals this in my mind as the best surfing clip ever.
Amazing could watch this all day!
Lovely stuff Mr Parson YESSSS
Now that could be the largest wave ever surfed! More impressive than Nazare.

Mike made jaws his bitch on that fateful day. he's all like, "IM the king around here...OBAY"
