Everything You Haven't Seen From the Massive May 2018 Cloudbreak Swell

Minds were blown as the highlight clips trickled in during the mega swell that hit Fiji this past weekend. From the viral moments like Ramon Navarro’s massive tube and Makua Rothman’s foamball pitch, to unseen footage of the heavy paddle sessions, watch the outtakes here of the hard-charging glory and carnage that transpired at maxing Cloudbreak. Featuring Ramon Navarro, Billy Kemper, Landon McNamara, Kelly Slater, Luke Shepardson, Nathan Florence, Evan Valiere, Laurie Towner, Makua Rothman, Koa Rothman, Sai Smiley, and a handful of other chargers.

Navarro - that little fade and reset of his line. Holy crap. Thats just epic genius insane bravery and skill.

[@finsdotsurf]

So happy for him, what a ride.

[@roscoedolittle5975]

That' last wave is the most epic ,biggest barrel ride of surfing history. It has to be.

[@zkproof]

nah check out Ian Walsh 2017 Jaws tube ride

[@rksnote9635]

The Biggest barrell but not a barrell ride. That barrell was spitting so far out, too bad he didnt get covered. Ian walshs 2017 jaws wave was not as wide a barrel but he was deep.

[@scnomad3626]

Such a thick lip though. Pure H2O power

[@ryanshippy2390]

Ian's wave looks like nothing compared to this behemoth.

[@SurferKroky]

@@rksnote9635 How in the world is that not a barrel ride??

[@doryman1000]

2:52 Biggest barrel I've ever seen in my life. Nuts.

[@s.z.9517]

I was thinking the same thing. Man even Teahupoo's "Code Red" swell doesn't look that big. You could easily put too buses side by side in there.

[@arvdosal]

Me too, doble decker bus would fit there, imagine seeing that live.

[@eternalme6077]

The Shot of the last wave is SERIOUSLY INTENSE!!! KILLER Shots, FANTASTIC SOUND TRACK As well.............🎸❤

[@surfermag]

thanks: The Smooth Sailors: Rock B Trippin Upstairs is the song

[@scottwhite115]

Big Cloudbreak is my favourite wave in the whole world.

[@ThePrivateMatcher]

What I like about this most is the fact that everyone but one person paddled in. Truely breath taking.

[@philipstallwood9813]

Agree, maybe 2

[@mickmangles8000]

Navarros wave will go down as the wave of the century ...

[@dornredd3929]

Nazarre is hardcore, but this had the juice.

[@dornredd3929]

disregard my post, I mis-read your post

[@kalaikealohi4361]

No

[@ymatT601]

duck my sick Poor bastard wasn’t even awarded wave of the year (2018), he didn’t even get second for god sakes but third.

[@dosss_]

That last wave looked like teahupo'o that was insane

[@s.z.9517]

Yeah and not the regular Teahupoo, the fat one like in Code Red swell.

[@joecoonan3931]

I was thinking the same thing...

[@Jay-ro2vn]

Hands down, if not the best left hand break in the world.

[@repsilia]

Ramon back at it again, good to see one of the boys come through.

[@blakeclarkson9954]

All were awesome waves but that last one was bomb man!!!

[@mworldnetwork]

2:05 boatman face tells it all ... legendary day

[@joeybenoit6269]

That last wave was the hugest biggest left I've ever seen and I've ridden 55 ft 1975! The monster from New Zealand!

[@andreshernandez3310]

Tremendo, muy buena ola de Ramón Navarro , fue la más grande.

[@Brimstone3]

Ocean is a Magic place. Much respect

[@KandMe1]

Oh my goodness that wave at the end it's such a beautiful hazard and he makes it all the way awesome and beautiful.

[@tygrahof9268]

2:52 Now THAT'S a wave!

[@hbviceroy7274]

That last wave is fu****g insane!!!!!!

[@roscoedolittle5975]

That last wave still stands or has to as the cleanest,biggest barrel ride EVER!! I may be wrong but shit of all waves,that wave makes my stomach hurt.

[@upsidedahead]

Navarro XXL winner this year

[@TheZacdes]

That last one.... OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@callmeishmael3031]

2:49 Perfect wave, perfect ride. Respect.

[@bapple7844]

here a year later to say that navarro's tube is still underrated

[@johnanthonycafe2993]

That Howler at 3:15 is an all time wave.

[@brookstownsley3533]

All the way from Chile to ride the best wave

[@spl7224]

Couple of those looked like the crazy Hawaii Five O wave... but with Hell Men!

[@MichaelOdomwest16thAve]

When I see stuff like this it makes me wonder......is the juice worth the squeeze. Amazing how guys like this get no publicity from the main sports channels

[@luisdiegoaguilar9755]

there should totally be like a raw 3 hour video of this swell, plis, like to make this happen

[@surfermag]

to be honest, this is almost everything that happened. note how much wind and rain there was as well. these were very ugly days out there

[@damianbenson8092]

That has to be the best wave in his life.

[@ethanbell7283]

Damian Benson of his life? Shit lol best wave of just about anyone who's ever surfed life. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@superorangeish]

State of the art..Historic session.

[@iLiveOnFijiTime]

I love how a group of some of the best surfers alive and the best surfer alive together say it was huge and amazing etc etc - and all these internet surfers get on youtube and talk shit. ha ha ha. Yea because your opinion holds more value than those guys' ? Get back under the bridge trolls. ha ha ha ha.

[@Johnnycox451.]

iLiveOnFijiTime no u

[@nathelm]

@Fran Ra that is a stupid comment, anyone who believes all waves are the same has never surfed.

[@stebbinsc1]

That last wave was the sickest

[@rurosan]

¡Que grande Ramón!

[@amwinters]

2:49 Ramon Navarro Like a docta

[@genenovak2717]

Awesome thanks for sharing

[@jcs7934]

Absolutely epic and dreamy surfing session !!!!!!

[@jeffreyhartwig4965]

3:20 that heaving lip seems twice as thick as the rider.... certain death for mere mortal surfers....

[@bradleydalbock5687]

Goose bumps

[@Vlaid65]

That last wave was epic.

[@topspeedfinder]

when cloudbreak becomes teahupoo

[@michaela8194]

Why why why does every surfing video cut the paddle in!!? Smh

[@jestione]

Who ever was on that last wave has now been to heaven and back.... very lucky!

[@victordersieg7955]

[@golfer9419]

[@df238]

[@mathdavies9546]

[@surferdude8086]

So basically everyone got their asses handed to them except for a couple of incredible once in a lifetime waves?

[@mattrankin2587]

No wasn't friendly - I like the 2012 fiji pro session!

[@thomasgfowler7343]

lifetime surfer,anyone who thinks they would charge this wave watching this video think again.pictures and video never tell the real story,if the video looks big then its absolutely terrifying to be out ther...trust me i know.

[@joemeeker5211]

[@blairakana9984]

Whats up with the thumbs down on this video you haters. They’re probably all kooks that gave the thumbs down.

[@oliguayasebesteves166]

59 haters who dislike this video probably would not even dare to be boatside because of their fear 😎😎😎

[@fryertuk7425]

Prime Frans Botha would destroy that wave

[@ben3989]

2:50 😳👀😳👀

[@sverkernorberg8028]

[@golfer9419]

[@VictorAA]

[@michaelmcconnell7302]

joe meeker haha

[@sunsensational]

Last one was closer to 20’ Hawaiian

[@eganc1976]

With an occasional 10ft bomb

[@pacobillie1]

You're an idiot

[@bonsummers2657]

meaning the height length of three to four 6' surfboards, end to end.

[@dischargesummary8794]

Never see the aftermath of wipeouts & interview the wiped out surfer 👎

[@hokuinsai4299]

😟🤯🤮🤙🏾

[@christianjensen8566]

Only JESUS saves and he’s coming back soon! JESUS loves you! John 3:16 Acts 4:12

[@martinginsburg7222]

So overhyped. Most the waves were under 10foot. Yes kick ass, but come on it wasn't epic massive except for the 2 tow in waves. And alot of those drops were not difficult.Add in vests, jet skis and the coreness of big wave surfing has turned a bit wimpy. Jeff Clark alone at Mavs without all the "help me" assists....that was core.

[@zkproof]

Jeff Clark alone at Mavs......may be core but not too smart either... ask Sion Milosky's kid in 10 yrs if that wave was worth not having a dad. Not wimpy just smart

[@wrybread]

Totally overhyped! Sure the best surfers in the world were having problems with it, but if only Martin Ginsburg was there, he'd have shown them that it's just a 10 foot mush. But seriously, where do you surf regularly that makes this "not epic"? Honestly man, you're very extremely being "that guy". And no one suspects that you can even come close to surfing this. Anyone who could wouldn't bother commenting.

[@zkproof]

wrybread he surfs the internet bro, he gets pitted in forums and then closed out by people like you. The white wash computer warrior likely waxes his keyboard before paddling out to the sea of commentary only to land the trophy of kook of the day. Cheers to (allegedly) subpar surfers on wimpy waves that wet mere mortals board shorts while on dry land 🤙✌

[@wrybread]

+Arnold. Ha! Now *that* was truly epic!

[@garethmillar978]

Impressive.
