I've watched surfing footage for nearly 50-years now, and the ride at 2:44 of this video is perhaps the greatest single ride I've ever seen in my entire life, from Pipeline to Tahiti. The sheer size of the wave, the perfection and length of the rideable tube, the freaking balls out amazing takeoff... if this fantastic surfer hadn't hit that last area of turbulence at the very end of the tube, NOT ONLY would this have been the Wave of the Year, but the wave of the CENTURY.
take off was so effin sick! I like what the other guy said about not being able to sleep after surfing there all day. I bet not! Crazy good waves and great surfers
Surfed cloudbreak twice. Absolutely gangbusters! Stayed at seashell cove. Took the boat out. One of the most epic waves I’ve ever surfed, on par with Hickory bay in NZ. First time I surfed cloudbreak was on a foreign board, my board ended up in Hawaii due to a an airline mix up.
Nice and clean. Guess I'm kinda jaded though, cause Makaha on Sunday was bigger than that. And peeps claiming best wave... it's Log Cabins when you see 7m at the buoy...
Bruce Irons nearly lost his life on that 15'er on nates board. 2 wave holddown nearly 3 that would've killed him. It looks beautiful but it's so heavy and thick. Cloudbreak I surfed it in 1994, it's very hard to read the closeouts look like good ones so it's so hard to choose the right wave
That f****** way was so huge I don't think anybody except some young eccentric surfer could ride these waves the Dynamics are so intense who's picking me up where's the medical where the medical! Not in Fiji! Good Day Sunshine
Would you agree when you drop into waves like this, they become easier to ride? It is like a personal experience between you and the wave. I've only experienced it once in my life and it felt as if I were experiencing the apitimy of what riding waves is all about.
to any other editers out there, enough with the slomo already. but seriously i got a pit twice as big and deep and long, epic underground wave, i call it pillow point, then i usually wake up
That is what an extra long pipeline would be like ? Looks like cloudbreak is a bit deeper ? But pipe is so shallow!! Anybody who knows these breaks ...please comment...I'm interested in the comparisons.

Yeah, that drop was sick - I was bummed that he didn't make it out.. but still very sick ride.
Absolutely - it was almost perfect and the guy is seriously brave.
The wave at 1:10 is better
take off was so effin sick! I like what the other guy said about not being able to sleep after surfing there all day. I bet not! Crazy good waves and great surfers
Yeah I agree pretty rad
Bruce, you are a legend!
Probably the best surf ive ever seen in my life
3:32 Andy irons wave. Love the colour transition towards the end of the wave.. beautiful
Bruce * sorry RIP Andy legend
These are some of the most perfect waves I've ever seen on film. Wow.
Arguably the most photogenic wave out there. Simply Beautiful... Yes scary as hell.
cloudbreak is an amazing wave. what a crew, insane swell!
What a close out. Go to the South Bay and surf some real waves.
Edit: that was a joke, of course cloudbreak is amazing.
For me, this is the most beautiful and perfect wave in the world. Not Pipeline. Sorry to say that
For me is teahupoo
Namibia
Guitar Heaven I think you’re right.
I also agree
it’s got a nice frame and holds for really long. it seems like pipe is just the adrenaline of the drop.
I just keep watching this amazing video. Maybe I can go there in my next lifetime
This is the most incredible video!
Beautiful, and captivating; Kudos!
Sick. Magical. Love the music too. 💥💥👊
Such a sick wave at 2:50 ..... stunning
Greatest wave I’ve surfed.
Cloudbreak in these conditions is the most beautiful, impressive wave ever..
Beautiful footage, thanks 😎😍🌺👍🧡🏄
Surfing is one of humanitys greatest achievement's.
Put the bong down, dude.
Surfing is Gods gift to his children
Total T Taking off on a small one would be this human greatest achievement. Chances are it would be my last.
One of the most beautiful achievements
My favorite wave
Solid Doggone Style Dudes!!! 2.44 epicability - sharing is caring ,these images tell the story of dreams

So perfect, pure magic.
This is liquid poetry
Crazy. What an epic wave
I'm in bed on the other side of the world and its been 6 years since this was filmed and it still made my butt pucker. 😀🌊🏄
Was there last weekend the wave was perfect as this...
2:45 I have never seen a perfect wave so huge in any video before.
No one died that day i hope
Wow fantastic epic waves and surfing once in a lifetime!
That's one gorgeous wave. I'd love to be there just to witness it closer from a boat or jetski. Even then I'd probably shit myself!
Best ever, beautifully INSANE!
Loving that late drop. legendary ride that one
That Black Mamba line hit different. RIP Kobe.

One of these waves ripped a watch right off my arm. And the sea mites nip at you! And the sunburn!
Nice and clean. Guess I'm kinda jaded though, cause Makaha on Sunday was bigger than that. And peeps claiming best wave... it's Log Cabins when you see 7m at the buoy...
I probably couldn't make the drop but just to ride a wave like that...wow!
Amazing left break. Perfect for us goofy footers.
What if i told you its actually a right break but the camera flips it 😯
Was that a Tim Bonythan production?
No it didnt have the wank ballsack watermark
🤣
LMAO
😂
Calvin Tobias u legend
LOVE IT WISH WAS YOUNG AGAIN
Join the club:( I so miss the early to late 80s here. Six trips in ten years, scored it prime at ten to twelve twice:) Ahh memories:)
Such a nice wave
@2:47 - now that is a drop - holy crap
The whole day would have been like dying and going to heaven (until the lip hits you).
Superb video. The music is amazing, anyone know what it is please? I've Shazamed it repeatedly but "no result"
Epic swell. Please make your way to HAWAII!!!!
It's about to. This same swell is hitting Hawaii this week and California not long afterwards.
Sick. Classic
This kinda looks like teahupoo in a way but the waves are insanely perfect there
So deep
Bruce Irons nearly lost his life on that 15'er on nates board. 2 wave holddown nearly 3 that would've killed him. It looks beautiful but it's so heavy and thick. Cloudbreak I surfed it in 1994, it's very hard to read the closeouts look like good ones so it's so hard to choose the right wave
slow motion takes all the feel out of it. that's what photos are for
amazing! who made the soundtrack..?
Beautiful
Yeeeewww Tanner. Represent SC!
Such a good day
This redefines the term "epic".
Get in touch with Mouther Nature
2:39 We have a contender for Dismount of the Year.
Epicness!!!
that's perfection to me
2:43 Holy Cr_p....Ok, That's heavy
Is that Walton Goggins @3:20?
Wow. Off the charts.
How do you judge the feet off a wave ?
Like a kid waiting for Christmas
That f****** way was so huge I don't think anybody except some young eccentric surfer could ride these waves the Dynamics are so intense who's picking me up where's the medical where the medical! Not in Fiji! Good Day Sunshine

Epitome
@2:10 is the definition of being swalloed by a wave, props to Dane though
Cloudbreak amazing
If any of u guys showed up late and got It windy,then u have to live with the early morning video grilled into ur mind forever!!
The surf was gangbusters...
Who produced this tho?
who produced this film? just wondering
Healy is a monster!
Hottest known wave on our planet.
Hard to imagine a left tube better than Pipeline
That’s like, the Eighth Wonder of the World right there.
Cloudbreak is !
Wow, I didn’t know the ocean could do that.
🏄"Definitely an ENDORPHIN-RUSH high"
This was 7 years ago?
Who produced this?
Lucky guys in the most perfect day ever!
can there be a better shaped big wave anywhere on the planet?
who was this produced by?
Lol
Ok this is gonna sound a little crazy, but has any ever surfed with aliens?
Should Try NEW CALEDONIA !!!
''Wet dreams really can come true
if you let them. . .''
perfects waves....
Where was the phone call ....?
to any other editers out there, enough with the slomo already. but seriously i got a pit twice as big and deep and long, epic underground wave, i call it pillow point, then i usually wake up
Insane
Historic
Luckiest humans in history of history. Maaaan. Freaking Dream Surf.
That is what an extra long pipeline would be like ?
Looks like cloudbreak is a bit deeper ? But pipe is so shallow!!
Anybody who knows these breaks ...please comment...I'm interested in the comparisons.
The ocean is no joke either
Is that what surfers call "gnarly?"
Sickk
i don't understand why kelly slater and all the pros on the tour don't surf these kind of giant swells
Kelly did surf, other pros on tour are competing in Bali at the moment
Kelly slater and his mates were one of the first there
Mick F, kelly, John John and some other went for it... wsl went code red and the big boys offered there boards to the top 44 riders.
Cloudbreaks Fiji is the best wave in the world for Soul Surfers.
