Wow, Amazing dude. Are u in nias right now for Join Nias Pro 2023?

[@armandpou]

Xavi is a beast!!!! omg so glad you guys connected there!

[@XaviLucena]

Grandeed ❤

[@3diabolos]

Crazy waves and epic barrels. The goofy is @Xavi Lucena 🔥

[@Poor20]

He was charging!

[@jasonlewko]

Really appreciate how "underproduced" this is. It lets the waves and rides speak for themselves to portray just how epic it is.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks a lot Jason! Raw is the key! Music gives these edits a false vibe..

[@pjones9088]

God that looks heavy.

[@ugocdf7706]

And open too!

[@tims6582]

I'm afraid just watching this. This is basically a horror film lol

[@ugocdf7706]

@@tims6582 especially if you are backside there, it all really depends on your ability and the waves you choose

[@Jeroen12345]

awesome, this wave looks so much gnarlier filmed from the water position compared to the drone shots

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks man glad you enjoyed it! Yes even the land angle is not showing how heavy it is! Boat angle is the best!

[@ugocdf7706]

And in lagundy it has always been....

[@Killereggman]

@@ugocdf7706 boat didn't get barreled this time! haha

[@andrewjones7971]

Some intense late drops and deep barrels. The land view shows the wave in all of its glory as it starts to hit the reef. Great footage and surfing!

[@johnwrou]

Awesome footage at Nias. Loved the angle, especially the ones taken from in the water and seeing the coconut palm tree beach roll along in the background as the waves rolled by. Actually very unique footage. And loved just the wave sounds! Would love to see the longer version of this same footage.

[@sergiosanchez2309]

GO XAVI LUCENA!!!!!!! 🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸

[@XaviLucena]

Grandeee ❤

[@adamliptak]

Liked that slow-mow scene of the breaking wave at the very end of this video 🤙

[@balazstube]

Uhhh, nagyon komoly nap! Nagggyon komoly erő volt ezekben a hullámokban, congrats to eveyone who tried especially those who could pull out!

[@Pseudosurfer]

awesome footage

[@jacintoplus4649]

Qué crack el goofy... haciéndose un nombre Xavi

[@brantrichardson1949]

Respect to these chargers. Especially the ones that expected to not make it but went anyway because there was a chance.

[@MK-su6eg]

Especially when it's your turn..... and your bros are yelling, expecting you to go! GOo, go, go....yahooooo, make or break, chance em! Aloha from Hawaii MK. Cheeeeee huuuuu!

[@melissapadilla4441]

Can't make any barrels you don't pull into...sometimes you eat the barr and sometime dude, he eats you.

[@melissapadilla4441]

This from someone who makes a lot less than he pulls into.

[@cjhenry41]

A spot that gets less dangerous when it get bigger. Goes from certain death to almost certain death. Boy are those guys good.

[@davefric]

Unique angle mate! Keep it up!

[@SurfRawFiles]

Diky boss ,hope you scored the mentawais!

[@nickortcoski6769]

Looks heavy, especially with the sand in the waves Thick as too.

[@benbarry8431]

Awesome Barrels!!!

[@assplundah]

Nias is the heaviest, biggest hold-down I’ve had in my 53 years of surfing!

[@SurfRawFiles]

Fair enough,I believe you!

[@francus7227]

I really don't think it matters. Anytime the waves start getting over that 10 foot mark...... It's gonna be brutal. 12 foot Puerto Escondido, Sunset, Lanikai, Cloud Break, .... and Nias.... All are the same. 12 foot and "loobing" is a completely different sport than 6 foot and under..... Theres 50x more water in these waves than a typical 15 foot face point break. At the time, it sucks. But later, you feel just as proud of those beat downs as the 6 feet behind the lip tubes you made.

[@arnaldootero8355]

Sick !

[@henrymorgan3982]

Hats off to everyone in the video! What a session!

[@adriandavies8204]

Epic

Thank you brother! Was crazy haha

Wow. Wish the contest was held in this!

[@SurfRawFiles]

Haha that would have been interesting to watch surely!

[@syahrilamriginting1330]

Already subscribe Brother... mother's proud 😂from Charlie Medan...

[@SurfRawFiles]

Haha thanks man!✌️

[@solomonschneider9860]

I'm intensely impressed by the backside moment at 1:48. So critical, yet surfed in about the chillest possible way.

[@yorimoriarty4684]

Hes got a cool channel here , Xavi Lucena, from Spain .

[@solomonschneider9860]

@@yorimoriarty4684 I'm checking it out! Very cool!

[@seancallahan1312]

I was just thinking, a goofy foot out making right barrels in waves that are eating regular foot chargers for dinner. Imagine that guy at giant Mullaghmore!

[@solomonschneider9860]

@@seancallahan1312 Now there's a fun imagination game!!

[@Marc467gg]

Any injury’s / reef cuts this day?

[@SurfRawFiles]

As far as I know everyone survived,only few broken boards ..

[@Stopthegreed]

One place i regret never visiting. Couple of good mates would go in the 80s and 90s and always rave about how good it was. They still go but head out to other islands and surf huge spots to get away from the crowds.

[@SurfRawFiles]

It's never late for a visit!🙂

[@Jeff-bl1rz]

Freight Train a coming!

[@czarnpg]

Without double ups this day? Are Double ups formed because the mixing of sweels?

[@igaroot]

1:38 going straight - the new pinnacle

[@solomonschneider9860]

Wow that is one cave. That crew is strong with their wave.

[@pak_gabe64]

[@michaelscurr9046]

Perfect for my moonraker

[@heater4546]

Your mom should be proud!

[@SurfRawFiles]

Haha thanks man

[@miketkong2]

Amazing waves, focus, clarity, but water angle camera shake is pretty jarring.... Maybe shoot at 2x resolution and stabilize in post? Or use a tripod or something. Viewing full screen on a large monitor is almost unwatchable.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks for your advice and thanks for watching! Big swell loads of water moving, not easy to shoot closeups steady from the boat in the channel. ✌️

[@melissapadilla4441]

God what a wave dude I would have to paddle for a couple months and really psych to feel confident but darn she fine

[@chriscantor6329]

Great but please more full speed/less slo'mo.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Only last wave was slow Mo for the credits,the rest is real time!😃

[@williamhanley7031]

Such a short wave but at least the whole time your in the tube. Never have hit it yet. More if a g land guy being

[@walterbudrobertson846]

🤙🌈🙏💖

[@godisbollocks]

Best barrel in Indo on days like these.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Such a beauty also to shoot! Thanks for watching!

[@bonefishboards]

Cameras with really good motion control exist these days.

[@jasonjackson5696]

Too hard to watch those water shots, the camera needs a stabilizer to offset the shaking

[@Killereggman]

The boat only scores 6.2 It made it out of the barrel this time!

[@SurfRawFiles]

Haha yeah fair enough!🤣

[@tugucatur2849]

Sumatra Utara INIAS INDONESIA .

Where is NIAS?

[@Marc467gg]

Secret 😉

[@TheTowergirl]

north Sumatera , Indonesia

[@seancallahan1312]

If they do keep this goofy final 5 format, this is the kind of waves the World Championship should be held in. Not fucking Trestles.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Hellyaa!

[@williamhanley7031]

A goofy foot

[@CaringOwl]

Not a novices prerogative.

[@williamhanley7031]

Has anyone died there. I know a boat did.

[@francus7227]

Does malaria, hepatitis and dysentery count? The pioneers in the 70's and 80's ???? Big balls. The place is very fickle. You could wait weeks in tropical misery for a few good days or NONE. p.s. That boat was abandoned.

[@rydeovashit]

more difficult going frontside

[@JeremiahAlphonsus]

Good to see no women.

[@CleanLines100]

Fuck it's packed
