One of the nicest comments I have ever received for my surf videos . . . I just had to share. @Kevin W. Smith This is just unbelievable. It's one of the most savage and vibrant - and HUGE! - Banzai swells I've seen in many years, and let me tell you that nobody captures these rare images as beautifully as you do. It seems that you have an intuitive 'eye' to always seek to amplify the viewer's observation to an all-encompassing perspective, in a way that I've never seen anyone else doing. In most surf movies and documentaries I don't see anything like those panoramic shoots the way you do, as most tend to show only the wave focused, whereas you always show the whole scenario, especially those huge bombs coming right after the ones we see on the foreground. For this reason plus many more, I'm short of words to express my gratitude to you, for employing this evident talent of yours in always capturing the best angle combined with a fine wave selection, your trademark features that are always shown in these brilliant sessions you've recorded, in all Hawaiian spots you usually cover. Please accept my respectful gratitude for what you've been doing for the Surf memory and legacy. Cheers! Aloha! guyfromBR . . . .

I was gonna paddle out that day, but I had to do laundry.

[@carloslebron2226]

😂

[@bibsann861]

Thank God for laundry.

[@jonathanstill5661]

Probably a little safer than surfing that day.

[@jackdobbs6569]

Ya surreee 😂

[@brickpig]

Me too, but it had 1 degree to much north in it.

[@vandrive5687]

The physical fitness & athleticism are incomprehensible; the mental fitness is unconscionable!

[@januckey1]

Whoa, this is INSANE! I have nothing but respect for people that take on waves that massive. I'm terrified of the ocean so mad respect for these folks!

[@TamimLB]

*Waves:* I am big and scary and I can kill you! *Humans:* What if, I put a plank on the wave, and stand on that plank.

[@arrowskates5911]

Basically that’s what happened

[@Fede842]

There is a saying for mountain lovers that says: "To live the mountain, one must also be ready to die from it" I think this saying also applies to the sea.

[@slipyourhips]

Have to admit, between the monster non-stop sets, the relentless pursuit by the surfers, and the music...I'm out of fucking breath. Great video

[@gnosis7662]

This is some of the best surf footage I have seen on KZbin! Really intense and it keeps coming without dropping a beat!

[@ijasgaming4057]

[@thecitizenjoan]

I would start crying if I saw that in real life

[@justinnoor4915]

They would be tears of joy because it’s beautiful :)

[@carloslebron2226]

😂

[@newmo81]

Hahahaha same

[@outsidechambaz]

it really is different in real life, and even more so when you’re in the water

[@mango_46]

@@outsidechambaz much more so in the water

[@edfeuer8462]

Showing all the wipeouts and waves that were unmake-able made it really interesting. The video gives you a sense of what it must be like to surf out there with all the people and other challenges.

[@djsqueaks]

sick footage great music!!

[@liamhagan4834]

I think that was Jamie with the catch surf board.

[@wille7319]

This song fits absolutely perfect to this video. Well done

[@randydewees7338]

Excellent! Raw and rough. I like seeing brave surfers dropping in and riding the Pipe in big but less than ideal conditions, takes real commitment even in the best of conditions.

[@nathelm]

It seems that Pipe has taken a back seat to Teahupo'o, ship sterns, and other extreme waves, but this footage shows how absolutely nasty this break can be. The water is so blue and the temp is perfect and it seems so inviting but the contrast of what the wave really is is stunning. A beautiful Hawaiian holiday until you get ground up on the reef or your head gets bashed going backdoor. These surfers are gladiators.

[@gbthrylos]

The sets are relentless

[@LurgsHowToGuides]

Blimey that is a paddle out extreme. And then paddling into a strong offshore wind as well for the drop. Incredible.

[@francescosantiago2479]

Great Trancy/Progressive House track, as a DJ and as a Surfer I found the perfect video, thanks.

[@Tyler-mz2sm]

7:42 2nd reef to way down Ehuki. Thats probably one of the best pipe waves I've seen in a long time!

[@MrM1729]

The launch is brutal

[@Tyler-mz2sm]

I'm not 100% sure, but I think that Derek Ho on that wave. The one "kinda" burning him is Mason Ho. If I'm right, I'm sure they probably had a laugh about it.

[@lisar9425]

So I’m the only one rather hear the wind and waves? That deep boom boom when a big set breaks is half the thrill.

[@williamburgess3138]

Not the only one!

[@ConspiracyDrakonian]

This is for.sure the best surf vid on you tube right now. Gnar

[@larryslemp9698]

Man this film is just way too cool....and the music is perfect!! Sincere compliments to the film 'makers'!! Thank you!! Wow....what a fast, brutal and mean day that was!!

[@dukegreened]

pretty much one of the best surf videos I've ever seen

[@itravellight]

One of the few times the music selection complimented the awesome video. Bravo!

[@joeynice123]

Thank you for sharing. Banzai is one of my most favorite places in the world.

[@anf355]

awesome footage, thanks for sharing, love this track

[@RedBull314]

Music and footage were perfect together. I freaking love trance and combined with that long telephoto footage, it really sucks you in.

[@edgarxii.]

Waves for days! It's so heavy there's no room for first responders in jet skis...these dudes are literally on their own...every man for himself!

[@meresaakoth398]

Yes thought soo too they aren't safe at all this extremely dangerous 🙆🙆

[@archibaldhamm]

That's how surf was meant to be at the beginning. The best surfer, the one who could catch the biggest waves, be the faster,... Was the boss a few centuries ago. And those people used to build their board by themselves no leach no fins. They didn't have Jetski

[@neville.peterdrinkwater372]

Thsnks you guys .what a great session

[@madmaxmedia]

Thank you for this vid. We've all seen picture-perfect Pipeline barrels, but big frothy Pipeline is almost more impressive. I can't believe the wave frequency.

[@christopherliston2371]

SurfCityHawaii, ridiculously awesome. You deserve an Oscar!Cheers!

[@SurfCityHawaii]

Cheers Chris.

[@jonathanstrauss2083]

Endless amazement. Wow!!

[@rosehuber1997]

Reefs are too close to the surface. I would not sure there. But I envy the people that have the courage to take on the pipeline.

[@audience4u2]

Great video Dude, thanks for posting!

[@mwg911hk]

Those waves are brutal!

[@registrydomain1]

That is some brutal chop!!! This is one of the only surf vids i've seen that capture the ravenous ocean's power; the moments that don't go well, the heart and determination of the surfers and all the effort that goes into getting the few waves eventually caught...those few that we will see in some other vid that makes it look effortless...

[@mikechavez109]

That was so Sick.

[@CF-rl8mz]

Kind of amazing how many people are in these huge waves just chillin, waiting their turn. Crazy! I got hit hard by a 10 foot rogue wave set at Kua on big island and it shook me up. Whole left side of my body was badly bruised. I can’t imagine how these must feel.

[@djrxmx]

Surf City Hawaii, amazing! Best soundtrack ever for this particular footage.

[@LeaXOXO17]

That is absolutely insane!

[@informant2331]

The challenge looks so inviting. Looks like they are all having so much fun. On point with the music too.

[@bathtub_jim7652]

Great video. TY

[@danielborges.]

These surfers definitely are pros to catch these waves. Impressive!

[@kailanijabour]

Thank for sharing the full day of surf!

[@insolentstickleback3266]

HOME RUN VIDEO!! Gnarl factor 10! That music was perfection, I was sure I was going to see Techno Viking drop in : D

[@claytonkr05]

Insolent Stickleback I think techno viking plus huge pumping pipe would've ripped a hole in the universe. Too much power 😆😆

[@insolentstickleback3266]

WORD...the danger factor would have escalated to code red!

[@Tyler-mz2sm]

If Techno Viking dropped in on a Pipe bomb the earth would stand still! I'm getting a chub just thinking about it...

[@yassinedrk8203]

Great video, thanks for sharing. We can see and feel the power of those monsters. Aloha

[@topg8085]

Putting your paddling power game to the test here

[@davidmccracken8274]

Great job on the music and shots!

[@arlingpolettecuadraesparza8032]

Que hermoso es el mar 😍

[@SurfMetalBR]

AWESOME!!

[@carolferguson19]

Totally rad and mind blowing, it was the best ❗

[@matthewazpilicueta6795]

My heart is still racing! What a rush!

[@infiniteaesthetiks5155]

Nasty day!! Music matches the way the waves are breaking!!

[@oceanfreediver]

Best day ever! This is a day I'll never forget.

[@sevenz1471]

.................sensational mate, every minute

[@TiagoNYC]

Powerful video, well done.

[@the10thleper]

Rough day. Love the fast pace. Ride after ride after ride. Awesome.

[@BassSwirls]

Nahh ...it's ok guys... I've got a dental appointment..or something..

[@peterned5316]

Amazing to watch the action when Outside Pipe is breaking and have seen it so perfect but newer like Backyards.Peter

[@chrissiregar1739]

great vid and exhilarate music ... nice !

[@jamesharris184]

Unbelievable. Absolutely nuts. I want to be nuts too. I was there two months ago two ways weren't that big but they hammered me. Wish I could surf.

[@kerryemmerson8954]

One word? Heavy.

[@hitmanstl]

My question is; Who were the 19 KOOKS that down-voted this video??? Probably weekend warriors from Florida,,, where the waves never get above waist-high! LOL... GREAT video of Pipe chargers! Aloha

[@pwengineering9070]

Long boarders.

[@lightningod0291]

Its 908 in 2020

[@flyinpigmusic331]

Is that a Titleist?

[@PvilleStu]

Excellent video and soundtrack!. For those who care, I tried Shazam multiple times, but it kept coming back "No Result"; finally it came back with RAKETE ZUM MOND - YOU ARE MY SALVATION REMIX

[@toptributes]

Shazam?? You just had to read the description.

[@Whisper465]

Think I got the gist of it after about 2 min. - still, glad I stuck around to the last ~10sec.

[@toptributes]

Last ride is the best!

[@monicaraygada7145]

Excelente música y vídeo 🇵🇪🤙🏻🙌🏻✨

[@niklasgindler4571]

SO HEAVY

[@rafab1228]

Incredble !!

[@merseez6032]

The waves look so satisfying.

[@AlexBoultz]

The Ocean must be having so much fun

[@sharktooth2888]

Man I wish it was just the sound of the mayhem,, hard to find vids of Pipe going off in my intervals like this!

[@SurfCityHawaii]

kzbin.info?o=U&video_id=AwRfHdQCxvw

[@satevo462]

I had a heart attack and died just watching those guys paddle out past the break. Fuck

[@macfarmer3972]

This is one of the experiences that will make u feel reeeely alive; unless it kills u while your on the way. U can also see how limited we all were for a long time before equip,emt caught up with our heads (entheogens, Honolua, 69, mini pintails). Previously No One rode size at Eukhai . First Root Swan, then Phill but even then, boards wernt ready. Now tho t he mentality meets rewallaity and sometimes the match is synergistic and everyone wins, not sure of the %. Really reveals how Van Artsdalen was seriously riding some kinda time and place karmic flow. Practicing at win dan zea didn't hurt as well. Nice filming

[@aussievapezaussievapez__3320]

Man I'm watching this high on some MJ..... this is amazing, thank you ✨✨🙏✨✨❤️

[@maryamisabella4214]

Those surfers are nutz

[@chrislilly8657]

That's insane! Some nice rides though... Props

[@taurusheihei6547]

THOSE SETS ARE EVIL ASF!!!

[@domysardegna1256]

Great from SARDINIA Italy 🇮🇹🌴😘😘

[@YOUENNNN]

3:30 : Wouhouuuu

[@kate___lynch]

Jesus that’s terrifying.

[@dischargesummary8794]

WILD 🤯

[@sharynwhitmire4928]

Well folks I have gotten all the adrenalin rush I need from watching this video. I am satisfied with that and I am still in one piece as I get up off the sofa.I could have drowned or been eaten by a shark.Maybe some of these surfers will say to me "It is not like the experience of doing the real thing" well to me it is" and that is something no one should be concerned with.They are brave, but I am not.

[@Thrustql]

After 11 months, this video is video is finally back online. Thanks everyone!

[@jonathanstill5661]

You can visibly see the Line-up diminish as the vid goes on. Anybody who can't appreciate just how "Brutal ", need only notice how fast that mass of water is causing those lucky - enough - surfers to jettison along those waves. There is an awful lot of skill evident as well ... Kudos, My Surf Brothers !

[@soclassy4922]

So classy and exciting. Against very strong waves and a little bit room surfing.

[@MechInvent]

Music is stellar. Makes me sad that random KZbin videos have better music than radio, Sirius, night clubs etc.

[@gbthrylos]

The injury toll....must be massive

[@williamsawyer6206]

These guys must be fed-up with living!! This is insane!!!!

[@BeeOhDizzle]

When the wave closes and the camera keeps panning right in case the dude made it 😂

[@waynewintermute3869]

Brutal is an understatement!! Looks freaking dangerous!!

[@vixeno]

What courage you gotta have to get in there in those conditions.

[@amitnaamani5702]

Exactly what I was thinking! Waves are just not stopping that's so crazy

[@iainmcclure416]

Wow! Would love to ride the Pipeline one day.

[@mosin9105]

A day when Pipe just doesn’t want to play!

[@satevo462]

3:12 is amazing.

[@ACCOUNTANTB]

Top clean waves !! so cool!

[@Timmsy]

Madness...yowza. .I love it!!!

[@feelinghealingfrequences7179]

6:06 & 8:08 Flyin Hawaiians (looks so fun!!!)

[@henryssurfshowcase]

Some great surfing in there for sure charging to the limit! How about that guy 1:40. Nice reward for him!

[@mcflyboarder9537]

Intense bru!
