[@DavidMcMaster]

Thanks Dominic 🤙🏽

[@Reefahholic]

That's a Nasty slab. Yikes

[@jakemckenzie7044]

I see big things coming on this channel!!

[@DavidMcMaster]

Most definitely!

[@richiet6381]

Part one: no that definitely ran away from him he’s lucky to be alive

[@DavidMcMaster]

Agreed!

[@mandatethis8024]

The first shot of Andre Botha freaked me out IDK how he survived that!

[@DavidMcMaster]

Agreed! He's a hellman!

[@jordancall6116]

Dang

[@steven090291]

Duuuude. Absolutely madness. Sick content as usual

[@DavidMcMaster]

Thanks very much!

[@emiliomorterapiorno4961]

This is real danger!! Good luck...hi from Spain

[@DavidMcMaster]

Greetings Emilio! Welcome to the channel

[@DutchmanSeb]

Well done Dave, some sick footage and editing!

[@DavidMcMaster]

Thanks bud!!

[@nickyvanbreda8603]

😳😳that’s crazy... awesome video 🤙🏼

[@jahpedro3971]

The injuries you mention are way more gnarly than the guys near death experience, which wasn't really. He had an experience that he probably learned from, however if he was dragged from the water unconscious, then yeah ok, excellent video as usual 🤙🏻

[@DavidMcMaster]

Thanks Jah! I appreciate the feedback!

[@alexwoolford8946]

Hey mcdavid

[@genomitchalinni8106]

Got to watch EVERYONES back! Helped save a psyco punk surfer swept across rocks. They helped clean all the broken bottles they threw at the cliffs the night before.

[@SALAMANDA435]

Quality as usual 👌

[@DavidMcMaster]

Much appreciated

[@richiet6381]

I’m sorry I forgot to mention before hand always epic footage!

[@DavidMcMaster]

Thanks Richie!

[@JohnnygSawyer]

Dave, where do the boards go? That's strange to never see the boards again.

[@DutchmanSeb]

They go to the same place where your socks go after a wash!

[@DavidMcMaster]

Hey Johnny! There's a heavy current that takes them down the coast. One minute you see the board near the takeoff zone, next thing its literally disappeared!

[@anotherworldviewispossible]

@@DavidMcMaster You'd imagine that they reappear and wash-up - somewhere... Someone could make a good business, of the salvage and resales. Perhaps in Mauritius, Madagascar, St. Leu or Diego Garcia.

[@Dave-to5it]

great video, that was a close one.

[@DavidMcMaster]

Thanks Dave! and thanks for taking on the haters on the channel haha

[@alexsmidlifecrisis223]

Class vid

[@DavidMcMaster]

Thanks Alex!

[@jaimecoburn1339]

you get what you pay for

[@africantrichome7265]

Andre................

[@kingdicer8677]

That is so gnarly I bet he had to throw his wetsuit away as well afterwards! Who is old enough on here to remember a hell charger in Shark Island called Doug Robson? He broke his back at Shark Island many moons ago. If in doubt don't got out!

[@jsjsjsjsjsjsisis]

Such a sick episode! One of the best for sure. Do you ever get out in the water when its like that?

[@DavidMcMaster]

Hey Josh! I used to but (long story) cant get in the water anymore, or bodyboard, hence why I film. Thanks for the support & stoked you enjoying the shows!

[@jacquescremer7572]

Dan Raubenheimer sending it at 5:40 😂

[@DavidMcMaster]

Haha! Too good!

[@SALAMANDA435]

Hahahhaha what a time🤣

[@jordancall6116]

I've seen some spots off 101 on the west coast that's just as gnarly even if you were parked you wouldn't even know how to make it down the cliffs to get to the 🌊 epic

[@starseed1352]

How mental was Dre's Opening wave? sick footage dave.

[@DavidMcMaster]

Thanks Kane! Yeah he's next level hey

[@khadijakratni6237]

Nice budy

[@DavidMcMaster]

Thanks Khadija!

[@michaelmalherbe9088]

Sickkk fuck that guy could have been in groot kak

[@benpoole2132]

So heavy definitely only bodyboard no surfing

[@anotherworldviewispossible]

4:57 - Andre Botha!?!? I thought that he was dead... (After that first wave, that you showed).😂
5:15 First Bodysurf at that Slab?

[@DavidMcMaster]

Crazy times hey!!??

[@MRHiles]

Wow, he just scarped by over that lip! I am not too sure how severe the consequences would have been, but that definitely looks like a trip to the hospital to me. I saw the footage of Hankus. When that footage was taken, was that not the same day he got injured as well?

[@DavidMcMaster]

Hey Jonathan. Thanks for the comment! That was a different day from Hankus's injury.

[@trailrider759]

Wheelchair or death I'd imagine

[@vudusurf]

love it ,sucking sic

[@DavidMcMaster]

Thanks very much!
