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 ⚡👌

The music is crushing as much as the waves. Rarely does metal go with surfing but this was perfectly matched.

Agree 100% Nate. I don't listen to metal, but when choosing the style of tunes to edit this to the choice was easy. Thanks brah.

Of course, making it out alive from one of these behemoths would stoke the system beyond comprehension. Kudos guys.

Went there in 1979 with my buddy, hitching through Mexico. Too big for me to go out, but my friend did and got pounded. That night there was an earthquake and the hotel shook like hell.

[@Falquiboy]

Can someone explain to me why they need a board that long? It seems to be too hard to handle in the wave and they bottom turn is too soft.

[@RealSurfStories]

To paddle into waves of this size one needs plenty of length. These guys were riding boards around 10 foot and most said they needed more board. No they have 12 footers on ice waiting for another swell like this! Thanks for the question Faby!

Was here in 2004. Never surfed before. Guy in the rental shop directed us to a more gentle beach with a simple warning: "Dont surf the main beach or you'll die." Pretty fun to kick back and watch though. Beautiful town. Met a Brazilian girl named Blanca there. Days were chill. Nights were fire. Those few days and that beautiful face will be in my memories forever.

So cool to see these guys charging these gnarly waves without a jet-ski and strapboards. Big paddle-in surfing is just amazing, just a few real ballsy guys in the water. In the last 4-5 years they are taking it to the next level, finally wiping out the "waves that are too big to paddle into" crap.

"waves that are too big to paddle into" crap. That is covered by the laws of physicsits isnt going to change much you can only paddle a board so fast.Bigger board = faters be harder to make the drop on.

[@budree4240]

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.
