Mentawai Clean Up Set 2001

[@FL-Man78]

My favorite surf video of all time..I’ve been watching this video for a few years every month or 2 it never gets old

[@stuarthayward2220]

Though we all have viewed footage of larger clean up sets, this is still one of my favorites. Maybe because the guy was already nervous about surfing waves three feet bigger than anything before, it’s filmed from the boat and that set was WAY bigger then the rest of the other waves. Lastly, the guys on the boat giving a play by play gave it the final touch. Thanks for posting!

[@shakazuluzone]

Best commentary ever! Thanks for restoring the original.

[@kaiburn]

grin and shudder every time this pops up-thanks. if you haven't been out there, you just wont understand that feeling....legends

[@antman8467]

Love the Aussie commentary. I watch this vid whenever I'm overseas and missing home 👌

[@danielapascucci-qw1ty]

Hi Guys, I could not believe when I watched the video! I was at the same moment with my friends at Lances left and this set was sooo scary!!!! We always talk about that after more than 20 years!!!

[@TwoTreesVisuals]

I’ve seen this video probably 20 times and it will never get old.

[@davidritchie9013]

I've watched this a few times now. Awesome

[@madmaxmedia]

Clean up set starts after 3:30 (first check out the missed take-off), I think 4 waves? Absolutely brutal, thanks for posting this!!

[@davidandrewfryer2868]

saw this years ago then the commentary went,, so glad you got it back this is epic gents

[@LostNozz]

Bad idea, bad idea.....sometimes you hear the train coming, and sometimes the train runs you over, thanks for getting the commentary back up

[@David-mn2fy]

I just keep coming back, year after year.

[@peterkoller8034]

Never gets old

[@aussiedownunder4186]

Great VID QBR

[@kurtbowden2899]

20 year anniversary trip fellas!? Pay to play understatement of the decade😂

[@CrustyBalls007]

The accent that makes you want to sandpaper your cricket balls.

[@tuskedbeast]

Yay, it's back with the commentary!

[@FL-Man78]

Id been looking for this video for a long time...I dont think theres another that demonstrates a clean up set so well.. I love this video.

[@DeepMeditation-mh7je]

Love this vid! first time I have seen the full vid. Thanks for uploading !

[@Hrmn8tor]

Nice waves boys. Glad everybody made it!

[@kevindoyle101]

yes ive been looking for this for so longgg

[@erdiloerdeso5805]

I love Mentawai💝

[@getl0st]

This is why I always sit wayyy out the back. When everyone is scratching for the horizon, I'm paddling into the wave of the day..................

[@nickc3856]

...and failing to catch it. Eventually you just paddle in as everyone points and laughs at you.

[@aldinoz]

When is the next trip? Need more vids like this in youtube

[@rodneysmart9774]

Great document with some honest commentary. I was breathing funny just watching.

[@kaiburn]

still grinning every time i see it. that place was scary enough for me at 6-8ft, legends

[@bazrobinson8390]

Anyone know who what the tune is??

[@johnswimcat]

The reality of surfing, at least for me. I usually seemed to be in the wrong place and either missed the wave or got eaten. After trying for years I started to get the hang of it, then circumstances changed and I didn't get to the sea any more. Still love it though

[@inalavalamp]

You know it's bad when the entire face of the following waves are white with foam.

[@Josh-Kai2626]

Legendary commentary

[@sanfranciscobay]

3:58 Very nice magazine quality wave.

[@UberMick]

Thats the most perfect I've ever seen that spot break, damn you blokes scored, aside from getting skull dragged that is haha.

[@clarkewi]

Awesome power.

[@benrobinson9227]

THAT, is gnarly...

[@lateapex9420]

Hahaha... "There'll be a lot of detritus out there in a minute". Great line.

[@IIrandhandleII]

Horizon Rider what's detritus?

[@stefanekmartinko]

adfasd waste or debris of any kind

[@sammassey4078]

God you gotta feel sorry for anyone caught on the inside

[@nickc3856]

Not really. I'd gladly take that set on the head if it meant I got to surf there on a day like that.

[@jimmylabragotto5975]

3:35 big mistake

[@peterdenton3304]

which wave was this in the mentawais?

[@krumbzii6629]

Hollow Trees

[@MrCow-bk8jp]

Perfection

[@aussiedownunder4186]

Worst thing about cleanup sets is when you come up for air there is foam higher than your head you can’t see the next wave coming and you are trying to get that bloody breath and try to relax 🤪😂😂😂

[@Trixter808]

Why did they come in lol that looked fun on the outside

[@countryroadstakemehome]

Wiping out in perfection and not a single wave or barrel ridden - koooooooooooooooooooooks!

[@ShaglusZ]

you're the kook , just a bunch of dudes having fun. go on with your fake ass pornographic ghost.

[@peterdenton3304]

Bank vaults?

[@Kongster62]

It was down near the Hole

[@Kongster62]

I think we called in Lighthouse

[@gregwilliams4286]

anxious as fuck watching this....

[@cmoon682]

couple big cleanup sets & everybody calling it quits? why the vid?

[@xWaxxy]

Whatever mr big balls - that's a fucking heavy set to take

[@pweter351]

Nice

[@davidpharo6183]

[@rosco1pug]

[@Woopass90]

Its like when a mate gets hit in the nuts. Everyone laughs but its not funny if it is you.

[@jclm4188]

Fred Smith sssssssuuuuuxxxxxxx

[@andiboggs4902]

No wonder people line up in droves. You can be like a 2 year old ripping on this wave.

[@CliveRodell]

Go Kyle!!

[@aussiedownunder4186]

That’s why I sit a bit further out when in Indo or the Ments. If they are calling it 8ft there will be SNEAKER WAVES! When I have been lucky to sneak into one after that you say to yourself Well that will do me for the day 😂😂😂😂😂

[@ianm1481]

2:45

[@sirzekialroane6750]

Defs need a breather after that
