BIGGEST Surf I've EVER Seen at Pipeline (Massive Swell)

  • Of all the years I've been to Hawaii & visited the world famous Pipeline Ive never seen it this big. This is by far the biggest surf I've ever seen the inside beaches of Oahu hold. When we visited for super swell Saturday last year we witnessed massive surf on the outer reef, but this is a whole different story. The amount of power the ocean has is astounding & this video is just another reminded of how small we really are compared to mother nature. I hope you enjoy & thank you for all of the stoke & support! - Ben

    Great video. That genuine stoke and positive vibe you constantly display is infectious and greatly appreciated. Your approach to it all is what life's all about. Have fun, always give it your best, overcome personal fear or obstacles and be cool with where you land. Lot's of life lessons going on in that video. It was clear you were feeling in over your head. I waited and waited and was absolutely stoked to see you up on that .....you did it, and the look on your face after was just pure happiness. What a day

    • @steveperreira5850
      @steveperreira5850 2 года назад

      Very cool! I like it best when the guys stand up in the pipe. I know a lot of guys crouch down to get a deeper ride, but it doesn’t look great. Stand up like a man! It’s not impressive for me to see you guys knee boarding it on pipeline just so they disappear slightly more. I know these guys are a lot better surfers than I am, but I like the look of a man Or woman standing up on a surfboard, not clinging to it with their hands

    • @steveperreira5850
      @steveperreira5850 2 года назад

  • @sharkymcsharkface
    @sharkymcsharkface 2 года назад +2

    Man i know the feeling...my first time at Pipe I walked down to the beach and put my board down. It was massive and I was super nervous but once you walk down there with a board, in front of dozens of people and photographers, you have to paddle out! I did and it was amazing - i didnt die and got a couple of decent waves. Was super stoked when i got back in also. Pipe definitely forces you to go to another level

    Between you and JOB these are by far the best vlogs on the internet. Heck, I was nervous watching this, can't imagine the knot in your stomach the first time paddling out into that. Has to be somewhat comforting having the pipe master himself alongside.

    Yeah-yeah-yeah!! Love watching you going for and living the dream--you are such a positive, inspiring figure, Ben. You probably have no real concept of how many lives you touch in a really great way. But no worries--make the claim, catch the wave, live the dream and hopefully you can feel the massive wave of good energy following you and pushing you forward.

    Congratz bro, i love the video cause we can really feel your anxiety and fears. I've been watching all the contest this year a free surf on cams when it was maxing but your video with Jamie cought the pre-surf in maxing pipe like any others!!💪👍👏👏👏❤️❤️🎉. And congratz for your wave as well, Jamie really give you a strange board to go out there in these conditions, but he either wanted to protect you or his quiver and you to wipeout like anyone else 😂 haha! Jamie the sadistic!

    I was stressing just watching this! haha. That is what surfing is all about. For some, they may be just as stressed surfing 3-4 jersey, but still push themselves to get out, others are charging massive nazare. At the end of the day, if you come out of the water with a smile on your face and you know you pushed yourself to do something you didn't do before, its a win. Thanks for reminding us all what surfing is all about!

    Insane session! It’s awesome that you got a couple. Awesome that you paddled out. Having never been in such a situation, the paddle out looks super challenging. And just being out there dodging and ducking around and under huge sets must be insane. I would love to hear more details about those things.

You have definitely shown in this vid why we all surf,, Its that one wave we all want, and it usually comes when we least expect it, then we want it again but perhaps bigger next time.. And in that moment on that wave we are living the dream.. Great editing btw and the music was spot on. New subscriber
