The Best (As in Worst) Surfing Wipeouts of 2016

Wipeouts never get old. Performance surfing grows by leaps and bounds every year, but eating shit has essentially remained the same for decades. But we never, ever tire of watching it and hearing the stories behind it. Because, and here’s the thing: surfers are generally horrible when it comes to talking about their own surfing. But they are amazing when recounting almost dying. Not sure why, but it’s true.

Greatest Wipeouts is a Surfline original series showcasing death-defying surfing wipeouts, near-death experiences and heaviest waves of all time.

I can't imagine how scary and dangerous wiping out on these. I wiped out this summer body boarding on a 8 foot wave and that split my toe open and I got sent right back to shore and my board broke. I thought that was bad but that's nothing compared to this

I Live in Pennsylvania so… The fact that people wanna ride these monster waves baffles me! I would die of fear in waves half of the size of the ones in this video. Much respect to you fearless psychopaths out riding these things!

jose espiritu says:

How deep does the wave take them?

HigherPlanes says:

Surfers should use those inflatable things that snow skiers use if they get caught in an avalanche.

HigherPlanes says:

Leashes keep you from losing your board but they also want to kill you.

DarkBeforeLight says:

That's why I don't fuck with the ocean

PRFCT Storm says:

the Mercedez AMG shirt with the Surfer on it is too rare

Rohan Hekenui says:

James R. says:

when they die thats the only time where the sport is truly consummated. what kind of a fool who would play in a waves? much more a waves like that? i mean are you silly? or you are Silly? no matter what justification you may do, dangerous is dangerous, regardless if its sport or not, they say they have a passion for adventure and life thats why they do it, damn i love my life too much. heck you bet, so much that i wouldnt risk it like that.. these people talk as if it naturally happened, they put themselves into it. so whats the point of this vid? stop
surfing altogether? ,
