You don’t want to miss this exclusive edit from Fiji’s mega swell. 
The reports said they would be some of the biggest waves ever to hit Cloudbreak, so we sent a legendary crew there to document – and ride – history.
Ever since the historic June 2012 swell at Cloudbreak in Fiji, big wave surfers have pondered the possibilities of the one that got away. You know the one. Some have called it the ‘unicorn wave.’ Well, six years later, the unicorn showed its face once again.
Mark Healey takes off his leash at the last second, diving as deep as he can through the back of this translucent beast. A handful of other surfers frantically paddling for the shoulder. Meanwhile, Healey’s board sits perfectly alone in the pitching lip, looking more like a toothpick than the 10-foot-plus chunk of fibreglass that it was.
Some have called it the ‘unicorn wave.’ Well, six years later, the unicorn showed its face once again – and perennial big-wave charger Ramon Navarro was on it.
While Navarro’s bomb – which you can witness in this fresh edit above, by legendary big-wave filmer Tim Bonython – was the biggest of the day, it sure wasn’t the only mind-blowing ride to go down. Guys like Kai Lenny, Natxo Gonzalez, Laurie Towner, Luke Shepardson, Kelly Slater, and others were there to make history. Click on the edit above to relive the greatest moments.

Eduardo Vargas says:

Why do all these videos have to be in slow motion? I would love to watch how fast this wave really is.

drawerskis says:

funny how they have a soundtrack of people hooting and yelling in real time but the surfing is in slow motion. These guys gotta get better editors.

That 2nd wave ridden by Shaun Lopez (?) is a BEHEMOTH. And both Danilo Cuoto and Luke Shepherdson get INSANE tube rides, but Danilo actually makes his… barely. Luke finally had to ride the foam ball. This clip is MEZMERIZING, thanks for posting!

James Hunt says:

Garret is parking it; as some surfers say. It would have been better if the dudes were not screaming the whole time. good stuff.

Jetty1502 says:

I literally cried after watching. After 30 years of surfing I was diagnosed 4 years ago with myotonic muscular dystrophy. In my mid-30s I was most comfortable in Big Surf.I now have the money to travel to the places I want to go to, but now I just get to watch. I've had big sessions at killers and sunset. So I'll take what I've been given.
