These guys look better than the dudes today
Agreed
Agree. Like how these guys just surf the wave and just bang every turn as the wave presents an opportunity- not like the guys today who just fly down the line looking for a section to do their flowery ballerina spins.
They are, and they were!
Surfing peaked that era.
@@patrickgarvey146 pretty good point. They were the combination of all things good. Style inspired by the smooth, stylish power surfers of the 80s and the radical new tricks of the 90s. They knew what was weak and what was power. They knew what looked good and how to avoid the “gump” style.
Nobody can manhandle a wave like Taj IMHO, wish I could do that!
Rip Andy 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Not one like him at today … Andy is the best ever.
Right!? So true, one of a kind approach- Kauai Boy radical animal attack with that smooth Hawaiian style.
on drugs though
The only pro ever who could take down Kelly on a consistent basis. RIP Legend.
AI going full god mode here!! Absolute legend.
On Fire
Man style so good legends
Just went back to being like 15 and tripping on surfing. Miss this entire generation, style etc… totally different era than now
Funny thing is, I saw the two of them together very close, and they don't know it. I was a teenager doing a summer camp at Christophe Reinhart house, in Bidart, and the last morning, the two brothers came to look at the waves from his house on the top of the hill. We were watching them watching the waves from behind like stalkers. I met them but they didn't meet me, we saw only their (not so large) back, ha ha!! It's like all the times when you "almost make it", story of my life
Epic conditions 🔥🌊🤙
All time!
Miss the days riding pine trees monster mush middles the bay with them wow good days much respect 🙏 Bruce I'm that guy with the bright yellow big red stripe like a 7 0 lure truly a rippa Bruce 🤙✨️👑
Right on!
I miss Andy, got to surf with him at Seaside Reef in Cardiff Ca, pretty much it was just us in the water, must have complemented him a thousand times about what a great surfer he was, one of the best surfers ever.
Unforgettable moments. Before cell phones pictures we would just lock an image or memory in our mind and refer to it as needed.
Best AI ever, thank you sooooo much, f....cking ball of fire! No surfer on earth could treat such a wedge is Barra like my homebreak, in that size is crazy that level of disrespect for the lip. Love that surfing!
Most casual style with ultra high performance moves. One of the best.
amazing wave. crazy surfing....
Yes it was!
Mick Fanning legend. Best cut back out there. Probs have to give it to AI here though - his surfing in this period is untouchable
What a surfer. Awesome style and so agressive .
sick, sick rides in this clip.
that ride @1:39 was insane.
didn't think there was a chance.
02:50 Bruce has that masterful style like Curren. Not many understand the importance of a perfect bottom turn.
How great is that surfing of Irons, coruscating, a pleasure to watch.
adjective
1. flashing; sparkling.
("a coruscating kaleidoscope of colors")
2. severely critical; scathing."
("his coruscating attack on the Prime Minister")
@@SuperAmin1950 I appreciate this definition.
Mich Lowe looked impressive also.
mick*
First time pros. went there… It’s never been that good again 😁
No touching Andy Irons! He was a complete animal, yet graceful at the same time! Fearless, charging any section with complete confidence! Did you see him pull out through the lip of that wave, and then make the next section…. Sick!!!
Yes, Andy was the man. We Miss him!
Andy was awesome. Tears waves apart but looks so smooth.
Best surf ever the old school 😎🤙💥
andy, bruce, freddy p... legends... thank u
Indeed. Great guys. Thanks for the support.
Imagine if Andy and Bruce had to surf the CT these days , they’d tear the WSL a fresh one
Would be fun to watch!
an edited free surf isnt what can usually be produced in a heat.
Was all-time
Man, so epic to see this.
Sick footage!
Mahalo 🤙
I thought I had seen every Andy and Bruce wave but I’m just stoked to see footage of Andy I have never seen, thank you so much for uploading this 🙏
More to come!
The search Mexico you will like that
Awesome footage ,that barrel ride was amazing! Thank you !
The WSL has never held a contest in waves this good.
AI may have gone too soon, but he's still blowin our minds! Legend forever
These guys were next level. No one could attack the lip like Andy!
Agree! Andy was on another level.
Bruce has so much style and easily tucks himself into many barrels. Love this classic stuff!!
AI a true LEGEND! R.I.P. Champ🖤🙏🖤🤙
Such a great wave! Before this contest it was somewhat of secret spot. Now you can’t go to Barra without at least 50 guys out. And if there’s a great swell running forget about it, so many people it’s crazy.
Yes the team have totally hard-wired this break, as good as it gets in surfing hollow tubes, bravo lads.
A classic clip in all regards, cheers
This is one of those epic, memorable sessions with the elite pros. The spot was firing and the boys were filthy.
It was surreal how good it was those first few days. Such a great event with the best surfers in absolutely firing waves. Epic, especially since no one knew what the wave was like and what to expect.
Dude could flat out surf!
💯
trips me out when i finally see footage like this it keeps happening. it's like these surfs where hugely popular back then, why am i only seeing this now? i've seen a few of the waves as i'm sure you all have like then one where andy does the air to floater, but this is a sick different angle
Thanks. This footage was in the Nalu Vault for over 15 years. It was only released on the BONUS FOOTAGE of the 2006 DVD The Freddy P Project: Interrogation- so that is why many people have never seen it before.
@@Nalu_TV sick man just glad it's out. andy was my inspiration. did you film this did you know him? i met him once just fanboy stuff at a signing
@@byronbaybarrels We actually did film this in Mexico and yes, we did know Andy and were able to film him before he took over the surf world- when he was still young. The Nalu Vault is deep and we still have footage to pull out.
I still remember this contest was epic.... my opinion AI is the 🐐 the way he charged and ripped everything no matter the size was insane
Love the style juxtaposition of Andy’s explosive power surfing, and Bruce’s super mellow style & control. What an epic break, with absolute legends. 🙌
Couldn't agree more! What's cool is that Andy could cruise with ultimate style when he wanted to and Bruce could get all focused and obliterate a wave when he felt like it too. GOAT Surfing Brothers
Bruce the “gerbil “
Bruce is the definition of look effortless style with non chalant approach.
@@fernandomaron87 yup, a walk in the park. Kaua’i boys are blessed, I wish the best for all ….
The wave and those drops in's by AI at 0:29 & 1:37 absolutely mind-blowing; I shall save this video for future frothing.... I agree with comments below 😍 Footage like this is to be treasured, not sure we will ever see surfing like this again....
Save and share and watch again. AI on fire
Video foda, esse ae é o espirito do vamos pegar umas ondas...
Surfing is Freedom
These guys were the last the of the 'Party era' of Pro Surfing. Everyone's so fucken serious these days. WSL has sucked the life out of the CT
Definitely spot on about the last of the party generation. Legend indeed. Maximum respect.
They’re all sponsored drones now. Manicured, sanitized, zero soul.
Great music
Mahalo, glad you enjoyed it.
*Sick.*
Andy was a great surfer
more nostalgic epic video! thanks for posting
No problem! Nalu TV is just getting started and we have an endless supply of footage in The Nalu Vault.
Cool music. 🤘
Haha… ya thanks man. We hear you.
@@Nalu_TV I didn’t mean your videos by the way I meant surfing videos in general these days, plus I’m older I grew up in Hawaii surfing so I like this type of music better. Thanks cool video, great surfing.
@@Nalu_TV Do you know the name of the first song or band? Such a banger riff
@@RyanKirkpatrick You can see it in the description of the video- Here It Comes by Track tribe
Glad I got it before they did.
best ever....
Kelly Slater who now??
So sick!
Prime Andy
RIght!? Andy was surfing like a legend with absolutely abandon and confidence.
Rip to the legend Andy would love to see him against some of the guys on tour today in a heat
Epic spots
Was so cool to be there for this event. Nobody knew what to expect and the wave was just a sandbar point break machine. All the boys were going off!
@@Nalu_TV with the best swells from the southeast here in southern Sardinia some spots turn into long left points. a small Mediterranean Indonesia ruclips.net/video/3Tv85tN5XXI/видео.html
A Perfect 10.
Garden Island Brotherhood
Kauai raises such incredible surfers- so many unknown, world class guys that blow doors in small to giant surf.
@@Nalu_TV word. Kauai is special.
Somebody show this to Medina
AI will always be the champ!! If he was alive he would be blowing guys outta WSL with out him in the lineup it's sucks! AI FOR LIFE!! LEGEND
❤
Andy era foda👏
Still miss AI
Kauai legends
Absolutely
Sick floater
I watch this section in the movie called No Contest
This is from The Freddy P Project- Interrogation. Although No Contest footage is similar, but they don't have all these waves.
Mexico looks like it has amazing waves…was this also part of Mixed Tape - Bobby Martinez?
This was part of the BONUS FOOTAGE found in the movie- The Freddy P Project: Interrogation. Released in late 2006. The 30 minute movie plus the 30 minute BONUS FOOTAGE is only on NALU.TV.
AI Maximum idol
Full rail surfing any day over hmmmm.....
🔥🔥🔥
Was this before the "somewhere in Mexico" event?
1:36 Brahhhhh!!!
Andy was taking off behind the rock on the sets.
@@Nalu_TV How the F did he stay in it for so long???
how do you even surf that good
Best Comp… Eva…
Agreed! It was definitely pumping and unforgettable.
WHERE IN MEX?
They are better than the dudes today
It makes you wonder if slater put a hit on him doesn’t it
this comment makes me wonder if you've had a hit of something
Taj got screwed big time at the contest
How so? Taj was ripping. Close heat? Or what happened?
1:37 wtf.
Where is this wave in mexico?
Just go down way south and turn right after that hill with the yellow school on the left. It's down that sand rock road with the goats and chickens after the little church on the hill. Can't miss it. There are rocks on the right side of the bay.
You won’t see Medina or Toledo win the Eddie or probably ever get an invite
Ses it all
Guarantee you put Andy bruce against Toledo or brat Medina out there in those conditions they’d be flogging them
Back when the ASP was legit. Now it’s the Woke Surf League
Always someone to go politico goon..Non legit since the Gerry,Shaun and MR era..
@@janet.osmonson7451
❄️ don’t melt
@@Akooks Always loved redneck surfers with 'I buy into my sides h.s..regardless of side..Ultimate goon
No doubt it's woke as but to be fair the way they've supported the women's surfing, you cannot argue that the new confidence has them absolutely ripping.
@@headmondronary2127 True fact and sadly they're more fluid and easier to watch than the modern dudes wing flaps
NEVER STOP UPLOADING THESE RELICS SIR :):):)
You know it!
What a floater on first wave by ‘ the boss Andy ( knowone seems to do floaters anymore, that was a good 6-8 foot wave and at start of section not the end , yeeoooww’)
