imagine hitting that wave on a jet ski
The true meaning of churn
Ahahah they are all like "abandon ship!" That's so scary
damn…they got lit big time…wouldn't get me out there for a million bucks
I've bodyboarded 6 to 7 ft waves and was scared I can't imagine these guys
Surprising how many of them seemed to bail too late and too high on the wave.
Of course, you KNOW that wave was moving mighty fast.
A few of them went over, for sure.
Dont think you can call yourself a true "waterman" untill you been caught inside at Jaws..paddle for the horizon and hope you clear da lip brudda.Sketchy as hell.
Did any of them make it over the wave?
Guy that just made it over the shoulder must have been stoked. Wait, did he make it?
man i got knocked down and smashed all around under water by a wave thats about 10 feet high and I'm 6'2 almost drowned and couldn't get back up over water….. me being in this situation, i might as well say i wanna stop living
That shit is insane!! Watching all the surfers dive in is wild
When they got of there boards and dived into the wave does that mean there leash could snap and there boards get pounded and break?
Fuck that
please can someone explain to me once and for all hovv you survive this ? thank you
Those monster sounds in the make ground make it more terrified.
I wish these videos would show the aftermath. I want to see how long guys were down, did the next wave get them, etc.
That is insane….
Damn, do those leashes let go under load? Or is actually better to stay tied in for flotation… if it doesn't rip your leg off that is?
there is only word to describe this, it begins with a S and ends with a T !
STEAM ROLLED!
What is your plan of attack at that point
