EP 3: WORST WIPEOUTS - MAVERICKS - Pinned on the Bottom

In this episode, I find myself pinned to the reef under an underwater waterfall! I was fully inflated but the heaviness of the ocean just kept weighing me down for what felt like forever!
The slab at Mavericks is one of the most violent places on the planet with a huge amount of water, focusing into a very small area, magnifying the power and intensifying the wipeout!
Special thanks to ‪@PowerlinesProductions‬ for always being out there to capture the action.
Footage is taken from "Ground Swell: The Other Side of Fear", created by Paul Taublieb and from my movie with "Over the Edge" directed by Andrew Kaineder. All filmed produced by ‪@MonsterEnergy‬

6:14 great pic though! Great story thanks for sharing.

[@matthewnazare4055]

As a surfer myself your story gives me butterflies I know that feeling all too well🌊😱🤙🏽🤜🏾

[@winn3337]

when you know you're not going to make the drop but are too late to pull off... might be the worst feeling in surfing

[@MattBromleySurf]

Hahha I think so!!!

[@lahondafolk4334]

I live near there. Always wondered what the sensation is being sucked back up and over/in the falls and going down to the bottom. Best description ever. Been worked over a 4' wave long ago boogie boarding. That's enough for me. Cheers

[@tubetauk]

[@MattBromleySurf]

Monster Bromley tales from the dark side horror flick. 👻

[@MattBromleySurf]

Hahah more coming

[@nicktrueman224]

Your nuts, what does it feel like riding the faces of huge waves? More the jaws mavericks, todos style waves? I don't know if you answer questions but would be cool to know. I can imagine a bit of chop on the face would make things interesting or a strong offshore would be really testing on these things. Cheers

[@jaybayjones3725]

Rad story from the deep bru!

[@roguebossa]

So heavy

[@tomotto3208]

Fucking legend mate!

[@algorerhyth]

Did Mark Foo have floatation vest? I think Shane Dorian also said Mavericks was probably his scariest wipeout.

[@MattBromleySurf]

Mark foo was surfing probably before any flotation. When Shane almost drowned out there, he invented the inflation vest.

[@mamarug4819]

Even though you didn’t make it the fkn balls on you to send it so fucking hard 100 percent commitment gangsta as shit respect brotha

[@SoulDaddy33]

I was really impressed with his detailed description of the event without the need to talk like a low-life. You get me?

[@christopherharris4494]

What are the chances of punching through and not going back over the falls on a wave like that?

[@tshafer007]

0

[@MattBromleySurf]

Almost next to none. Too much water moving.

[@Tyler-sv4sw]

How’s the reef lol

[@MattBromleySurf]

Some crayfish

[@nickr2425]

what a psychopath
