REAL SURF STORIES presents: BIGGEST PUERTO ESCONDIDO WAVES EVER SURFED!

[@parabola8933]

I love how it shows guys taking it on the head. Most surf videos never show the aftermath of a wipeout or what guys go through when they get caught inside.

[@RealSurfStories]

Yeah brah! Real part of the story!

[@Falquiboy]

Exactly, it shows some wipeouts I have never seen before. They never show the full thing though until the surfer makes it back in. I would like to see how long it takes to get back in and how long they are held down for after wiping out on the first wave of the set.

I’ve surfed this wave countless times but never even close to this size. Riding a 5’-8’ Puerto wave is unlike anything I’ve surfed and I really can’t wrap my head around this massive day. The closer you get to the inside, it becomes damn near like the Western Hemisphere Shippies. These folks are men among men, and women among women. No safety crews, no jet skis, and half of’em don’t even have a vest on. Massive respect to these folks on some massively heavy waves, and props to those who filmed and edited this to exhibit what an actual big wave session is like...more wipeouts than wins.

[@adamkl20]

I love the beginning where it shows people screaming in terror & running away from the beach and these guys are just calmly chit-chatting on the balcony and sipping coffee, saying "yeah looks good, oh look at that one over there, let's saunter down there & paddle out". Then all throughout the video some heavy Pantera instrumentals play while these guys prance down the beach smiling, saying things like "hey be safe bro, yup-yup thanks teeheehee". Then they take some 40 ft waves directly on top of their head and are still smiling. I would've died from a heart attack the very first time I realized I was caught inside one of these. Plus the water there looks raunchy..💩 Such badasses.. Respect ⚡👌

Good board choice with the fluorescent caution tape theme. In case of going over the falls, like freefall at six flags, followed by chugging a couple gallons of nice frothy prime Escondido ocean, right before the wave break pretzels you into a scorpion, you will be quickly found as the board catches everyone’s eye as a speck of yellow in handful of cotton.
