What-a-footage! craziest moment: KK's wipeout
It's only water. Not like getting in a boxing ring

Big wave surfing takes an incredible amount of skill. It's just that is skill in the areas of surfing I have the least amount of fun in. Paddling, standing up, and going straight. Shit is boring af.
like the eerie goth music over-lapping

The music is so fitting. Nice work guys! Yeeew
The worst part about falling on a wave that big must be the second or two that you have to actually process how screwed you are 😳
Vaquear é humano, insistir na vaca é burrice! kkk
