Surfed Banda Aceh in 2019. As someone previously mentioned the Tsunami museum is pretty surreal, was quite an overwhelming experience to learn about the sheer mortality of the event. All the staff had there own individual stories about their experience. The waves around the coastline are pretty special, don't think they were affected too much.

Visited the Tsunami Museum in Aceh and it's really depressing. You can also visit some huge Boats that where washed thousands of meters inside the town from the Tsunami.

Good on you for producing this vid. Not many people know much about how wiped out the area was hit.

would be interesting to hear any first hand reports of anyone surfing there if they made it

Interesting idea for a video! Just one little thing, was it not the 26th of December? Thanks

One of the best waves in the world, Kumari point in the Andaman Islands was destroyed by the uplift from the quake. It's still there, but is sectiony and way too dry now. Used to be a full freight train barreling right for hundreds of meters! Hardly anyone had ever surfed it before it was destroyed. Also the Nias reef uplift was from the March 2005 Simeulue-Nias quake, it didn't happen in 2006.

Hey mate!! Ahh wicked, thanks for the info but what a shame to lose a wave like that! Ahh ok, thanks for clarifying :)

@@DanHarmon123 I think I might have even mentioned about Kumari on one of your older videos.

@OGMTB 7 ай бұрын

I thought it happened during daylight hours. Lots of video of it hitting during the day.

@Sonicaanimal 7 ай бұрын

Did not mention Nias ! Where the reef was elevated creating a more barrel wave.

@bubbabigmin 7 ай бұрын

Because that was caused by a different earthquake that happened shortly afterwards in March 2005.

@DanHarmon123 7 ай бұрын

It is mentioned, but as the comment below explains, it wasn't the 2004 tsunami that changed the reef :)

I can still remember the 2004 “Boxing Day” tsunami & thought it was horrible when it happened, only to run into one of the older surfer, I looked up to growing up a few months later! Tony was his name, he was a head valet @ Trump’s “Mar-o-largo” estate in Palm Beach, for many years at that point, but it was in March ‘05 I ran into him checking the waves in P.B. & he told me how his fiancé was in Thailand for a scuba diving trip, & how she had survived the tsunami but a day later due to overcrowding, the boat she was on went down off the Thai coast, in the middle of the night, due to overcrowding! Saying he was devastated would be an understatement! She had a 5 year old, going on 6 year old son, whom he had raised as his own son up to that point. So the woman he wanted to spend his life together with was gone & so was the boy, going to sperm donor, who had wanted nothing to do with the kid from day one! He was never the same & I do think of him sometimes because he was a good man, but especially when I’m reminded of this horrific natural tragedy! Thanks for sharing Dan & keep posting videos because the world needs more voices like yours out there! Regards from Florida!

Whats interesting is the 2010 earthqiake in mentawai southern region caused uplift of many waves such as rags left, and made the wave worse. The 2010 earthquake did create one wave on south pagai, which is now one of the most perfect waves in the ments. This wave is a favourite of many but cant be named, as will be flooded with kooks, as its easy to surf.

I believe your times are GMT, not local times

@danseng3747 7 ай бұрын

The earthquake and tsunami happened at 8 am. Not 1:00 am. That's why there is so much video footage

@sonic_attack 7 ай бұрын

Yeah, odd timeline considering everything happened in daylight.

The quake and tsunami struck North Sentinel Island in the Nicobar chain too, but when they flew a chopper over to assess damage, one of the Sentinelese men fired an arrow at them and that was that. From the satellite images it doesn't look like it did the surf any harm. Had a fascinating time researching the island and really enjoyed your video on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6Wrd2Z6qNWKgtk

Shame that all your times are in GMT, it seems. In the Indian ocean, all tsunamis hit land during the daylight hours, people were awake and on the beach as the water drained, as witnessed by the many videos.
