OUTER REEF Paddle Session w/ The Next Generation

[@jonbailiff339]

Great camera work! Love the pulled back perspective, gives size and context to the shot. Thanks!

[@OffDaLip]

Thanks. I feel like it helps catch the lineup dynamic and seeing the lines rolling through gives you a sense of what the surfers are seeing/thinking

[@Coconutscott]

Outer reef paddle sessions are the best surf videos out there. Keep em coming.

[@OffDaLip]

I agree. And really cool to see the progression that guys are doing on these waves

[@adambane1719]

Except the Hawaiian surfers keep falling off when it finally gets big, lol !

[@grimgrimey]

In your opinion.in my opinion slab hunters is the best surfing videos to watch. Each to their own I guess.

[@brad7801]

This is so sick! Awesome angles to give some context the wave size.

[@bwhit716]

Koa Rothman scored one of biggest barrels (twice this size) here about 3 years ago. Clean up set came through that day taking out a few jet skis. Mahalo covering all NShore breaks🤙🏼

[@OffDaLip]

Yea, I don't think there is a big wave on earth that him and his boys wouldn't try to tame

So epic, i heard they eat plenty of junk food and had massive constipation and vaseline session

[@hurlburt808]

Back in the 70s and 80s Himalayas was rarely surfed .No vest no jetskis and the paddle out from the channel was tricky . I went out on my sunset 7.10 thinking I got this once in the line up got a few waves then a real set came and we got cleaned up my leash snapped, It was the longest swim . My buddy found my board on the inside channel heading out to sea. I was then able to get in after a long swim . What a learned experience. Thank God I was young and fit

[@dumpy4289]

love it! awesome conditions and size!

[@jonobester5817]

I'm not a surfer, but those waves look gorgeous and forgiving!

[@crapisnice]

Another suicidal for the death cult

[@Killemgrillem00]

Incredible perspective with the drone angles. Brilliant playground. Great surfing.

[@OffDaLip]

It was a great end to a great day

[@Jason-cm6uh]

What a dream session! Edit: Thanks for posting this!

[@dreichert1438]

They should have the Eddie somewhere like this, where you actually get a RIDE

[@charlesmartin1121]

So true. Usually Waimea is just a big drop and then try to survive the explosion. Unlike Peahi or the outer reefs where there is an actual face to ride.

[@OffDaLip]

Waimea is just the perfect setup for a big wave contest, all things considered

[@dreichert1438]

@@OffDaLip It's definitely got the venue for spectating and all that, but I feel a contest like the Eddie in particular, should be focused on the ocean and the connection more than hosting spectators. But in totality with ceremonies, tradition and all, I get it

[@thomaspark185]

I know what you mean, but there are many reasons why the Eddie is held at Waimea specifically. One powerful one in particular is Eddie Aikau's heritage, his family is descended from a 19th century Kahuna (priest) who was a caretaker of Waimea Valley. A century or so later, Eddie Aikau becomes the first lifeguard at Waimea, where he spends a significant amount of time surfing and saving people. This contest is also about honoring cultural significance, genealogy, and sense/history of that specific place and the Aikau's family ties to it. I'm not Hawaiian, but grew up here and know these are the concepts many Hawaiians and locals value.

[@dreichert1438]

@thomaspark185 That makes sense. Didn't know the roots went that deep there. Thanks for the education

[@latahquish365]

Best seshun of all-time!

[@OffDaLip]

This whole day was epic 🤙

[@BobaPlanet]

Mesmerizing... Big flow, big skillz.

That section can be pretty heavy. Thank you!

[@geezersurf]

It was so good out there all last week!

[@chrismacculley8357]

If that’s where I think it is, have had a few great sessions out there. Except it was about half the size. Thanks ODL 🤙

great vid. any vids on what outside logs was doing this swell?

[@OffDaLip]

No, but I could see it when i was filming the Eddie and it was bombing. If it goes again, I'll try and get some clips 🤙

[@10phone2]

cool content and I miss living on oahu. There is another area further out that the 60-100 foot face rouge waves break at. Only happens once a decade at best. If Waimea is a close out then thats where the big boy waves are breaking at.

[@OffDaLip]

That would be a dream to film that

[@10phone2]

@@OffDaLip absolutely. Enjoy the north shore being there because no where else is the same. Tips hat to you being able to experience that.

[@schreds]

used to be one of those places only a few us used to ride 80s-90s it can handle as big as it gets only seen it close out in the channel between lani's a few times , the right direction it will horseshoe on the inside where the wave looks like its coming back at u and just throw some memorial sessions for sure

15 ft, with a few 20 foot closeouts

Real surfers paddle to catch a wave! Only a loser would use a gasoline powered jet ski to catch a wave!

[@adrienpayet5599]

i only see foamy high tide stuff with easy take off and a single bottum turn then wave are finish , everybody can do it 👎🏼

[@OffDaLip]

The average surfer would drown out there

[@olivierjulian2836]

Alllons Adrien prend ton gun et va ramer sur les plus gros set , au peak adrien pas sur l'épaule , encore une petite précision la vitesse a laquelle la vague se déplace dans le pacifique est en moyenne de 43 Km/h et non pas 28 km/h comme sur la cote atlantique , le placement, la vitesse de rame, la connaissance des courants sont crucial et si cela parait facile par moment une fois au line up c'est une autre histoire , toujours plus facile de juger derrière son écran

How come Hawaiian surfers keep falling off when the waves get big?? They spend all year flexing and hassling, and then when the BIG waves finally come around , they just keep falling off !? Pretty weak performance all around, 'brah'.

It's official, you qualify as a surfer. I'm sure you are the guy who tells his friends EVERY time you see them they either should have been there earlier or stayed out longer because it got much better after they left right?!?!
