So epic! That is some of the clearest water footage I have ever seen what camera are you using bro

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks Bob a lot! I am shooting with a gh5 Panasonic and wavesolution waterhousing!

[@MrIsomer]

@@SurfRawFiles Yes, very steady from the water - great footage bro. I made a movie called BALI HIGH back in 1980. Shot some of the first water footage out there. Liked it better back then...

[@shaunpatrol]

[@johnsadler5441]

Ive never surfed Nias. I`m pretty sure some of you have? It`s such a perfect wave and is really intense at the drop and the barrel is sick. It obviously goes into deep water after the barrel. Is it totally worth it? Is it totally rewarding? Do you ever get sick of it or bored? Just asking and Iive on Kauai and we got barrels sick ones but nothing as perfect and ,,,,Does anyone understand what I mean? Mahalo, Kinda Wondering Creature, Kauai Boi

[@SurfRawFiles]

It's an amazing wave for two weeks!

[@mindhead_]

I've been and scored some incredible waves. However under usual circumstances it is often very crowded. There aren't really any other waves nearby, only one take off spot. When all of those accommodations along the beach are filled with surfers, spending all day staring at or surfing the wave and nothing really else to do, you can imagine it gets pretty pressure cooker. The locals are great, but the way the 🇧🇷 operate there is gross. The amount of people in this video is dream-like, but not the norm. Dunno if that helps. 🤷

Jello smooth big boombs 💙

[@nickortcoski6769]

A handful of people out surfing just one section. Beautiful.

[@SurfRawFiles]

[@roryherk1805]

Nias seems to have changed shorter and steep take off ...earthquakes?

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks Rory for watching! Naa it's not shorter,it's just the straight south swell makes it hollowed takeoff and shorter tube.

[@clarkewi]

Gorgeous.

[@SurfRawFiles]

🙏🙏

[@andilarosa3643]

Thanks bro 👍

[@stevebroad8804]

What about those outside bombs?

[@SurfRawFiles]

Indicators is definitely a surfable wave but very very shallow

[@mozdickson]

Olah Samia!

[@shanemacintyre3200]

Wow h

[@djizzah]

[@matthewwillis4892]

[@mozdickson]

Niiice! No annoying commentary or music, just wave sounds. God bless the people of Nias, whose reef this is.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks so much for your feedback and glad you enjoyed it!

[@gilligan369]

Sure it may be a beautiful and perfect wave but look how crowded it is.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Haha yeah this second day of the swell many ppl surfed different time during the day which made the lineup very easy

[@discgolfprofessor7074]

Love the Titles Play On Words. Great Footage.

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks man a lot! Yeah Bedi is such a sick local surfer!

[@oliver6208]

why is no one surfing the wave to the right of this ?? at 1:59 you can see it grinding down the point no on eout ???

[@SurfRawFiles]

That wave is called indicator and it's super shallow,almost dry reef, very rarely surfed, hopefully the next swell someone will give it a try!

[@mattgurin6168]

great veiws, epic photography. I'd like to hear it live from the horse's mouth, and the old School guys that surfed it before the earthquake and the rise in the reef height. that surf break has been on the map for a long time, and I'm old enough to remember the days of Discovery. sweet sweet this footage

[@SurfRawFiles]

Thanks a lot Matt! I will ask them!

[@bjh2997]

Went in 88 and stayed for 6 weeks. Arrived to see Thornton there with Munga Barry. Thornton ended up getting malaria and not in good shape. Massive swell came in the middle of the night and washed under all the losmans. Munga was only one to go out in the morning to have a go. I'd travelled to far and thought I have to paddle out just to be in the water to watch the power of it all. Was on a 7"2 ..still remember paddle for the horizon with a massive set coming...Munga was inside and turned around and went it. Little fella had balls of steel. Barrels were so big a semi trailer could fit in. Thornton ended up getting carried out very sick next day looking real ordinary.

[@bjh2997]

@@SurfRawFiles beautiful footage too mate. Love the water shots. It's a sight sitting in the water watching it.

[@mattgurin6168]

@@bjh2997 chee, I moved to Hawaii in '89... Munga was no stranger on the North Shore during the winter. Balls of steel, blowing minds at big, heavy Sunset
