brutal. mavericks is no joke. rip jay moriarity.

I was surfing at Sewers in Santa Cruz on a board not big enough for the huge sets that morning and SHIT happened; the soup was horrible and when I surfaced, my board broke my nose and my nose broke the board and left me in with a concussion. I didn't surf big waves after that.

Ho braddah RESPECT if it was me my family would be preparing my funeral ⚱️

I cannot even begin to comprehend this. I'm no surfer but the worst thing I ever experienced was while I was body boarding with a hurricane offshore churning up big swells. I went over the falls on a 7 ft wave, free fell and then got absolutely pummelled by the wave, ragdolled on the bottom not knowing which end was up etc. But a 50+ foot wave?!😳That's like 10X worse. I'm terrified just thinking about it.

Yayayayay HiiiiiiIanOMyG MAVERICKS Is Effing Insane😂😂😂EnjoyingLotsOfVidsOnHer~I'veSeenThisOfYoursISwearYourSoBraveSoProufOfYou&YouBeingACareTakerToOGirl🩷🩷🩷🙏🙏🙏

I watch these then fall asleep and dream of riding the wave.

😢

Jeebus, that’s a Golden Ballz wave from start to finish

How to get people out when imminent domain’s continuing to fail. There are no conspiracies, but there are coincidences. Right?

Mavericks is scary.

This guy is literally describing trading to me. all the same terms. momentum, waves, entries, closing. The market moves in waves too.

My favorite surfer from Hawaii right here, no fear for many years to surf Aloha🤙

That was the best explanation of a wipe out i ever heard. He should write books. Super smart guy

He is" no fear"

Don’t forget to mention Nazare Portugal even more powerful , happy you are alive, surf up dude

wow. Terrifying

He thinks he is surfing pipe back-door make's the late dropped an then gets in position an waits for the spray to expulsion him out of the barrel. The problem is that the sized of the barrel you can fit (2)18 wheelers trucks head to bottom inside only a monstrous wave like "jaws" on the island of Maui(Hawaii) can be that norly big.

I am glad you doing fine, amazing story God bless 🤙

In snowboarding you never call last run. Calling last wave sounds the same!

that board looks so money

I was telling people it's the roar of Mavericks waves. You don't need no music

SWALLOWED..

wear a helmet dingus

Aqua Fence seems to be great at aq[ua]ward

Damn Jeff is a saint

This was narrated perfectly! Seeing those jet skis makes me emotional. FN angels out there!

so so scary

Heavy! Mind games at its best. Ian’s a veteran. Cool hearing his take on it. He almost had that drop.

Im bad about that.using the lords name in vain.

Ur showing ur age with Gregg knoll.i remember too.

That long 12-14ft.gun saved his super late take off. But very great ride and surf experience. Anybody else,very little chance.

“I gotta ditch this board”.

Lived in that area for years, the waves are literally like giant buildings moving through the ocean. Really scary, but used to watch Jeff Clark paddle out, sometimes solo and paddle into that wave. Bought a few boards from him to surf the small stuff. Any of those people that surf this wave are just incredible athletes with nerves of steel!

I've surfed some 20 + at Tourmaline in Pacific Beach...which was an ankle knocker compared to this Maverick giant.

Any one here still amazed in sept 2024🎉

Everybody the lip hits, feels it when it's 3 feet thick. NO MORE BILLSHUTTING. JUST MAKE SURF VIDEOS OR DON'T.

I was surfing back in the late 70's and early 80's and without one of those floater suits they wear now. The one that has a rip cord and blows up your suit and brings you to the surface. That's what saved this guy because without it, he surely would have been a goner. I rode and crashed on a ten footer and I almost drowned it pounded me so hard and kept me to the bottom and I couldn't surface. After that I gave up surfing on anything of that size. Seeing these waves on video do not do them justice and seeing a body of water this size is terrifying. However, the thrill of riding it out for so long is one of the greatest feeling you can ever have. I thinks it's like sky diving and floating thru the air for seconds is like riding that big wave for seconds but feels like the longest time ever.

Ian Walsh is an absolute legend man, i don't know why we don't see more of this guy. Total trooper!

I’m over here thinking I’m surfing sky scrapers with 2-3ft waves 😂😂. These guys are fucking nuts!

Next to the kitchen is the canting keel structur...

Here I am thinking he has multiple broken bones and maybe a broken spine... then he mentions he was intentionally trying to save the BOARD the whole time ?!

These big wave surfers are a different breed.

Sometimes you gotta take off straight and stand on back vs taking off at an angle if it’s gonna be an air drop. Haha look at me commenting and I don’t even know how to surf.

Got smacked down at surf city nc last week. Wave was like 5 foot. I got too nose heavy when I stood up and the nose caught. I flipped forward right as the wall came down on me. I got bent like a pretzel. My neck and back popped in every vertebrae. I cannot imagine that size of a wave pounding you.

watched and listened to this ledgend descirbe this beating 4-5 times......

Maverick’s, is definitely one of a handful of world’s WORST big wave wipeout experiences you can have. THE place that terrifies me the most from observation, (never surfed it) is “SHIPSTERN BLUFF”……YIKES!!
