COMPLETE CARNAGE AT PSYCO AUSTRALIAN SLAB! - DEADMANS

[@jaycee571]

Best thing about Australia is that nearly every headland has a slab and a bunch of underground or unknown chargers pushing it as hard as anywhere in the world.

[@FlippinPaperWithBilly]

Harder

[@rodneysmart9774]

looked like a couple guys out there that didn't know how to surf at all were just hucking themselves over the falls. I like it.

[@stuarthayward2220]

Previous vids of Deadman’s I’ve seen people try to say this wave isn’t that gnarly and why are so many locals falling? Well, Deadman’s absolutely schooled Koa, and we know his skill level is legendary.

[@mattress9074]

You can tell especially from the boogie boarders, buddy got sent on a roller coaster 😂😂

[@sundaytripz8507]

No one in their right mind says deadies isn't gnarly.

[@newtonbelieved]

Can someone with contacts in the mining industry please get some expl0sives and dive on a small day, knock off those high points on the slab that are causing the secondary waves. There are thousands of miles of coastline in Oz, give the surfers 50m to shape for themselves. There seems to be two places that need leveling.

[@SWP805]

I was going to say this day looked a lot more difficult than the other "recent" day of similar size.

[@mikemikemikemike221]

Even hypotaticaly... how many people want to surf a spot like this ? looks gnarly AF.

[@danb8877]

on the few times it breaks a year it gets a ton of coverage. its also at the second most famous beach in Sydney. Dudes who wrote that are just dumb.

[@rohandrysdale1139]

I mean this is just locals. Look at pipeline, theres always going to be a group of people that dont want to share the wave, and another group that is more welcoming. Happens at basically every break. Although I must admit "no filming" is kinda dumb since everyone who has the means to go to deadmans already knows about deadmans. Its one of the most entertaining waves in the world to watch imo. So much carnage.

[@grandsupremetoru558]

Everyone was sending it the entire time! Absolute beasts!!

[@mariogismondi7712]

Don’t worry about signs and people getting hung up with you filming. I live in Australia, it’s an awesome free country but since some people have nothing to worry about like guns, violence, extreme poverty, no social security, they get hung up on the most trivial sh-t and get their panties in a knot over nothing. Ignore this whinging minority and do as you please Koa. 99.999% of Ozzie’s love you showing what awesome surf and surfers Oz has to offer.

Why film aussie surf spots to a mass audience for likes ... screams look at me!! But you know ... anything for the gram! Brah

[@coreymiddleton1798]

Man, i don't know if that sign was serious or somebody was just taking the piss. As a local myself i can tell you 100% that no one i know gives a shit if you film there or not. The sign was probably written by a blow-in and not a local. Jesse was right though, if you do have an issue, have the balls to go face to face like a man, instead of hiding behind a sign. You're always welcome to surf and film brother.

[@MichaelBranch-km4rh]

I would think anyone who can handle surfing there is ok. Cant be that many of them.

[@peteratlanecove7436]

It may have been written for its beautiful irony: so many people see life through their phone and forget to embrace the real thing. Stop filming, this is life!

What I've learned: Australians are WILD

[@KymShore]

You could have said it was our Jessie from Bondi Rescue, what a good friend to have in Oz, very knowledgeable. I dont notice much difference in our accents over here but I would say the closer you are to the bigger cities it might be a bit different. By the way can someone tell me what causes that 'lip' thing in the water. Take care while travelling you guys.

[@J14Wade]

Awesome documentary made about the "Brah Boys" that he was a part of featuring Jessie before his time on Bondi Rescue somewhere out there on youtube. Very cool to see these youtube worlds collide.

[@jerrybow8779]

@@KymShore that big lip in the wave is caused by a very large rock that sticks up alot higher than the rest of the reef

[@kgramckow]

By lip you mean that step/ledge that appears near the bottom of the face right as the wave stands up, right? That's from the reef being uneven. The whole wave jacks up quickly (is "slabby") because it goes from deep water and hits reef very suddenly; steps and boils in the face form when there are particularly uneven shallow bits of the reef. When you're out at a reefbreak in between big sets you can watch smaller waves form little boils as they hit/feel these shallow sections, which you can then use to figure out where you are over the reef to position yourself for the sets

[@KymShore]

Thankyou @kgramkow for explaining that I appreciate it. I have to say it looks hella dangerous!!! Obviously you guys know what you are doing, so stay safe out there. And @jaycee571 I did watch the Bra Boys documentary and it was brilliantly done and shows the surf scene as it really is, a family. Take care.
