BIG WEDNESDAY at Deadmans June 15 2020 Raw footage

[@odyssey814]

i thought i saw someone make it out of a barrell but it was just his spirit

[@toddynineteen90z53]

That was funny brah 👇🏼

[@franklinchambers3497]

That is to funny

Baahhaaaaaaaaa

[@barukyou2001]

Hahahaha

[@cheeverdog]

Even the boards didn't want to take off

[@surfnskate76]

This doesn't look fun. It looks like an exercise in survival. Kudos to any of those who paddled in that day.

[@maxdaniels4326]

Some people find that fun aye haha

[@cyberxdeth]

4:13 and the few one like it look like dreamers but the rest I absolutely agree too low tide?? Or what’s going on here

[@vickryan]

@@cyberxdeth it's flippin heavy.

[@callspreadzero854]

Looks fun to me! Also fun to swim in big swell.

[@davidmoline3834]

That looked more like suicide than surfing.

[@paulkennedy8036]

Agreed! Barely any completed rides, huge slabby waves with no skis for help. Some serious bad asses out there!

[@gordonquigg9389]

These guys are crazy. Those ledges in the face and sub-waves within the main wave make it almost impossible to overcome, and hold a line low enough not to get sucked or pitched, but high enough not to get clothes lined by the pinching and undulating, ten foot thick lip. These guys made many valiant attempts but that boogie boarder is tougher than a rhino. I surfed Honolua Bay on the biggest day I've ever seen it, looking just like this, but not quite as ledges, but definitely that thick. It was between the first and second week of January,1980, and not many had cameras back then. The storm that made the swell was the biggest kona low in recorded history, you can Google it. I'd call it 20ft hawaiian style or 40ft faces. Many famous people out, but eventually just me and two other guys, with the cliffs lined with hundreds on spectators and surfers who came in. I was on a 7ft mini gun that I shaped and glassed myself. But the take offs were easy, way out in the ocean, before it got steep. You would have a sliegh ride take off then have plenty of time to pick your position and your line, but once it started pitching you were locked in, with no way out except the end of the tube, very similar to this video, mixed with teahupoo. I got lucky and made every wave and never got eaten. I wish I could find footage of that. Gerry Lopez and his older brother Victor, were among the last 4 out there with me, and I stayed out as the last guy for another hour, surfing for 3 hours total, before it got too big and the storm hit, devastating Maui,washing the roads out, electric poles and thousands of trees down, houses smashed, and we were isolated for a week in Napili, with the stores out of almost everything. The president declared it a national disaster. Those were some of the heaviest waves of my life, and I think definitely the deepest barrels. It feels pretty good when you come out of the end of one of those and realize that you actually made it, with hundreds screaming, whistling, hooting, horns honking, for minutes afterwards. Just had to share that. I was 23, and now I'm 64, with too many sports injuries to surf hard anymore. It's all about getting out there while you are young and in your prime, and giving it all you These guys are crazy.

[@SidewaysSurfDrinksHQ]

I keep coming back occassionly to watch all the different footage of this most epic day of surfing and no matter how many times i see it, I’m just in awe of all the chargers who took to it. Especially my fellow goofies. And absolutely best of all, no friggin jet skis towing in, just crew charging it paddling in. Again, just epic. Love the raw footage too mate and the crowd “commentary” 👏👏

[@StylaxBluePool]

Ya no tow in s , it takes balls to paddle into one of those bad dredging fuck off waves ,

[@dlopes3584]

Balls of steel together in the same place. Looks super heavy and shallow on video image see it inside.

[@Coconutscott]

I live in Hawaii and I'm obsessed with this place, it's mental.

[@doggieGZ]

Whoever the bodyboarder is has serious balls.

[@pmczapczara5332]

That's a powerful swell, what a beast of a wave! Thanks for keeping the pure sound of the surf. Hadn't seen video of this break, appropriately named indeed.

[@barbarataylor5068]

I kind of like that we're watching not the most skilled, but some very brave dudes facing some pretty brutal poundings. Props to their warrior spirit.

[@francoisstrength]

Not the most skilled? I scheme the reason the 'more skilled' guys aren't out there is cause they know better than to play russian roulette.

[@saltysurfer252]

My cousin and his friend were out there and they nearly drowned. They're nuts!

[@TylerMcDonnell]

That was the most amazing surfing footage I have ever seen !

[@ColoradoGuitarMan]

Well done specially the sound of the waves versus music which so many surfing videos have. You talk about close outs this wave is by definition close out.. Kudos to those surfers! 9:38 is one of the best I have seen.

[@willduncan3865]

2:43 is one of the craziest things ive ever seen a wave do

[@valueinvestor77]

Jesus Christ, that’s carnage. No wonder they call it Deadman’s.

[@PLILLY514]

8:06 and 9:14 were insane!!

[@samuelslingo1629]

Me too

[@samuelslingo1629]

Bye

[@eljeffe59]

That’s one of the most challenging rights I’ve ever seen. Very low success rate, but when you see a guy make a bomb all the way through, you can kind of understand the attraction. I’ve surfed some big, powerful waves in my day, but even on my most testosterone fueled day, I think I would have passed. The beat downs looked as heavy as anywhere. Cruel, but lovely.

[@joemeeker5211]

That has to be one of the scariest sessions ever! An absolute nightmare!

[@vickryan]

8:55 watch 2 waves. That was a monster. Pure death pit. Huge respect to my bros. (fellow surfers) that wave got weird.... As Antman once said "its going to get weird." LOL. some adjustments were needed. Those fine details are what makes or breaks you. Great surfing!

[@BenniK88]

That was so hard to watch can’t image being in there. The destruction level was intense 🤯

[@dannyzackery3281]

That's the stupidest thing I've ever seen and the spots crowded?

[@seancallahan1312]

That wave is smiting down upon them with great vengeance and furious anger. lol. Some of these heroes even made a few. Epic. The guy at 9:10 who gets barreled af then connects the section to the next peak down the line? Some heavy wave magic there.

[@MASEMASONX]

I WAS OUT THERE

[@LTH099]

That was 10 minutes of pure carnage 'The sea was angry that day my friends'

[@elijahphelps9313]

Like an old man trying to send back soup at a deli

[@mozdickson]

I'm a marine biologist, yes!

[@Ernie161]

That looks like fun. One guy makes a wave and everybody else spends the day trying to glue their board back together.

[@JohnnygSawyer]

The inside section looks more fun than the outside. Damn slabs are gnarls!

[@Noticeofintentto]

Inside is Winki. And yep to outside point is not called Deadmans for nothing

[@liamkelleher3995]

No crappy surf music / north american angst rock.. great..

[@chrisor187]

heavy session, thanks for the raw footage!

[@possibledreams186]

Pros or kamikazes, I am neither. Angry waves!

[@randallgoeswhere]

Terrified of water. Being on the east coast I stay on the skate board. But Im sure if I was born out there I would have been one of these guys.

[@Smason432]

I was out there that day, I seens me mako jump full out the water outside log cabinets

[@jeffparryncc1701]

I grew up in Manly in the 70's and 80's, great to see the waves back and pumping and people getting chundered.

[@mamyramer1603]

Deadmans has some of the hardest charging maniacs around, Respect...

[@georgelucas6419]

I took an absolute beating out there years ago before it was widely known, worst I've experienced.... Will say it's the heaviest wave in Sydney by far. That wave from Deadmans to Winki Pop is the dream to catch out there, wonder if it went to Bower Point too..

[@ro55spencer]

That's the gnarliest surfing I've ever seen! Rugged mountaineering, in seconds.

[@robertdavenport7950]

Intimate relationship with an ever changing gradient.

[@MultiShmed]

Heavy as. And yet, there is no dead man. It's about 3ft deep in places. Really mad surfers at this size... Props to all!

[@davidcramer4173]

Gnarly. Those cats have no fear. Sure the hold downs are wicked. The drop at the bottom even has a small double up to make it even that more insane. My salute to you if you paddled out that day!

[@markgalbraith9316]

This is the best vid this year hands down omg...this is where the world tour should be....

[@brendonashton9041]

That body boarder went the hardest. Respect.

[@latentsea]

Booger?, speed bump?, sponger?, Hero!

[@mackash]

Wow. Fark'n beast. Cheers mate. Luv ya work

[@rachidmorea8551]

Beautiful show. Thank you 👍

[@ncncam23]

That stall to set up at 9:16. I imagine one day this guy is going to smack death in the face and say "don't sass talk me". What a wave id have that thing stuck in my dreams for the rest of my life.

[@mrtrillion6592]

It was there HUGE balls getting them down them waves !! respect to all that charged it - that is one heavy wave

[@jonradebaugh]

As someone who's surfed in the past, I usually see a surf clip, mind surf and think ya I could do that (I'm wrong but good surfers make things look easy). This shows how brutal those conditions were, so the makes are that much more impressive! What an epic day that was!!

[@sleepinglion1192]

You never know though. You might get lucky. I've been on waves that I never should of made, but the way it broke, it feathered a bit at the top, just enough to get in earlier, and had gnarly rides.

[@marksheehan8026]

That's one gnarly wave .lots of continual varing conditions

[@ianrawlings2546]

Yeah, fair enough. That is bloody big. I lived in Sydney for years. Spent a lot time around Manly/Fairy Bower. Never saw anything like that. Got to be 20 feet. Nasty close outs!

[@mickdove700]

Wave of your life or wipe out of your life. All the lads taking off deep inside are my heroes.

[@jakelesnake4927]

Wish I hadn't watched that just before bed, gonna have some nightmares tonight.

[@graytoby1]

Props to the people who paddled Out in that and so many goofy footed people riding that beast backside. Fair play

[@bigjerm1631]

I respect these dudes. It's the fact that they're out there. They're some extreme individuals

[@jerrykellerman9725]

Major nod to the guys that can surf huge waves and have more fun than punishment. This wave is so savage , from the beginning of vlog to the end I see more tune ups than even makeable rides . The wave looks more in charge of the surfers , there is no actual drop in area guys seem to always get caught receiving wicked wipes n broken sticks .

[@dunningkruger3774]

This was actually a "Suicide Anonymous" meeting.

[@blister351]

Why do all Australian waves spawn extra waves

[@stretch8390]

Incredible footage of some fantastic rides and wipe outs.

[@TheEsteban2010]

Sick. Love this raw footage without Musik. Thanks

[@williamhanley7031]

Heaviest most entertaining wave to watch. No jokes out there. Pedal to the medal an don't hesitate at the top. Go all in or don't go at all

[@Ripoispo]

I was all packed up & ready to go out that day on this wave when suddenly….

[@the40yogamer]

so many fails that's a tough wave dude

[@TheRyanRanch]

Kinda a maverick’s drop into Teahupoʻo, a lot of carnage

[@robbiecooper948]

This was some of the most craziest wipeouts I've ever seen. The wave really lives up to it's name, and i don't believe I've ever seen footage or heard of this place. The surfers who charged that section from out the back must have balls of steel. The way they were diving and doin all they could to navigate this hideous mutant beast had almost in tears😅😅

[@ThiagoBragaMusic]

Amazing video! Crazy guys!!⚡⚡

[@renko9067]

Wave: wanna ride this? Surfer: YEEAA...nope.

[@kenturkington4695]

Good place to sit and watch the carnage , definitely not a old boys wave ! I remember seeing a surfer below me getting the hiding of his life as his leash went around a rock he was prisoner to the waves he did survive minus board very cut up ,we couldn't get down to help! pretty shocking .

[@mystre3550]

That sponger got merked on every wave he took. 🤣

[@MrLeeson660]

That guy at 2:01 horrendous situation

[@codygeidner6903]

9:10 wave of the day! Ran it the way through!

8:05 dudes my hero lol

[@vickryan]

5:53 yes there's gonna be broken boards. Without a doubt. 5:06 i never wanted a guy NOT to go so badly in my entire life. "don't go!"

[@dannywashburn54]

I'm not a surfer, I am captivated watching people ride big waves. From someone who knows nothing to me looks like a very hard wave to predict, in turn making the the degree of difficulty harder than some bigger waves. So anyone cares to share an experienced opinion I would like to hear

[@dannywashburn54]

Guess I should of surfed the comments before commenting

[@chrisx6995]

Gotta have balls to even be out there! Yeeeeeeeeeeeew!!!! Gnarly!

Question from USA- I stayed in Manly Beach for a week and drove up the east coast to Byron Bay and back on holiday season 2009. One of the best month's of my life for sure (Saw Wolfmother in a bar in Byron Bay)...Where is deadmans located in relation to Manly Beach?

No jet ski no life vest Raw Respect👍👍👍

Mr 8:05 I salute you. Big respect to everyone who took off. Big and ugly and unpredictable.

Its the point with the rock outcrop and Manly right? It looks hazardous but boys they like to test themselves haha. It's only fun after, getting together and you survived.

[@wellfleetion]

Such an appropriately named spot.

What happens to the guy at 3;15 just before he goes out of sight? looks like he gets yanked into the spirit dimension?
