Biggest Wave Ever Surfed

Highview Barbell says:

we used to do this all the time as a kid. Go down to the waters edge at high tide right where the waves were breaking, and see who could take it the longest. super fun!

John Vanderlip says:

Caught inside on a big day just sucked the energy out of ya! I'd get back out and have to wait out a few sets to get ready again!

Not a surfer but as a kid I loved the impact zone and surfers paradise beach really put that to the test haha kept going back out without taking a breather and jumped into a big one but started to find it hard to hold my breath for long enough. Best beach ever

During that very first clip, all my brain power was directed towards trying figure out why he was swimming with a violin 😀

Binnn says:

Dazzling Dexter says:

But like if the waves going to shore its just going to push you to the shore line. So you just let the shore hit you and drag you to sand.

In my younger days, I've encountered the Impact Zone countless times here in So. Cal. Once I was stuck in such a place during storm waves, when I was the stupid enough to be the only person out in the water (in this case, with a Boogie Board), to try to show off to a few people. I just knew that I was not strong enough to handle the massive crashes of the "walls." At one point, I was ready to panic. I then had this weird conversation in my head. I told myself, if I panic, I will die. So, knowing I had to stay calm to survive, I somehow managed to put fear out of my mind, and concentrate on getting back to shore. I was getting quite exhausted from the pounding of near endless sets of fast-moving storm waves. I saw a particularly dangerous looking set was coming, and made the decision to ride the first wave, which was relatively slightly smaller than what was coming later. Because Boogie Boards don't cut through the water as fast as surfboards, I dragged back to the top of the wave, and then the wave, pretty much toppled (very top-heavy). I was being thrown down head-first, and had a death-grip on my Boogie Board. It felt like I was falling from at least a 3-story building. Before I hit the water, I instinctively took in a deep breath, and then experienced the intense action of the powerful whitewater, which I suppose can be somewhat compared to being caught in a show avalanche. Fortunately, I was pushed quite a ways towards shore, enough to at least to be able to stand on the sand bar, sort of. A couple of other following waves whitewater pushed me the rest of the way to shore, where I literally lay totally exhausted on the sand on top of my Boogie Board. A lifeguard had just raced up in his jeep. Once he saw I was OK, he scolded me for being out there in those storm waves, and said that if I let go of my Boogie Board while I was falling from the big wave, I would have died. Bottom line, my experiences confirm much of what you said in your video. Even though I grew up around big waves in So. Cal., I realize that there are times to back off, and know your limits. For example, I learned that taking rip tides to get out past the Impact Zone works great, but if doing that is the ONLY way for you to get out there, you really should not be out there. In that case, I was on a surf board. Thanks for your video, which was on the verge of triggering my PTSD…
