I wonder why he so suddenly got thrown off the front of the board?
Wow!! I’m glad he’s ok!!!
It is a warning sign, if you are smart enough you stop now before you become another cautionary tale on YouTube
If you had the ability to go back out for several hours just for the thrill of it, you certainly exaggerated the nature of the impact — 80 mph into a brick wall, the kind of impact that would kill a man. As somebody who has fallen down a mountain, I can tell you that a serious accident leaves a person wanting to call it a day. While I’m glad that this video preaches the significance of training, your story is an exaggeration, a distraction from actual disasters suffered by people whose accidents actually or very nearly equate to (or exceed) the brutality of 80 mph impact into a brick wall, whereafter even basic mobility is a serious challenge if not impossible.
Thank God you are ok! Never forget to thank Him!
The textbook definition of surf warrior.
Why is this news?
I rode a 40 incher 1 time.. didn't fo great never tried to surf again
Geez that is amazing. So glad he survived.
3 or 4 more hours after a "slight whiplash?" Whoa.
Amazing! But how are his parents taking this? 😅
Getting held down by white water for long periods is terrifying and mentally challenging. I’ve been held down in big surf w/o floatation in the washing machine. It’s brutal. I cannot fathom this size waves.
My boy is tough dough. Im glad he good
Incredible survivor- ride em Son! ❤
Who else thought this was a shark attack ?
