SYDNEY GIANT SWELL RAW FOOTAGE 2022!!! 2ND APRIL, SYDNEY AUSTRALIA

[@xaviersauces5458]

this is literally a stab premium

[@ausrawsurf]

ahahaha that is much appreciated! I hope to provide content like this again and again

[@ninenineninezero]

For anyone outside of the area wondering, this is as good as Deadman's gets. Its a weird wave that requires the perfect combination of swell direction, period and tide to produce anything good, but when it does...this is what you get. Only happens once or twice a year. Rest of the time its just big, unruly and the sections don't line up well enough to produce a good barrel. Hats off to the gents though, it breaks close to the rocks and if you come off, as many of these guys do, the current and white water push you straight into the rocks. Navigating the step in conditions like this is as difficult as Solander.

[@SidewaysSurfDrinksHQ]

Thx mate, epic insights and exactly what I was wondering about as I was watching this epic footage 👏👏

[@DaveWhoa]

those steps reminded me of Shipstern Bluff in Tasmania

[@daveeh2930]

great advice, im a beginner , ill head there tomorrow and give it a go, been practising in port phillip bay at port Melbourne beach, Im ready. thank you

[@DaveWhoa]

@@daveeh2930 bro this isn't for beginners when it's like this, you're just gonna endanger others around you to have to rescue you

[@daveeh2930]

[@garfield8900]

Excellent filming guy, I like how you used the sound of the surf instead of some crappy hard rock music in background. Way to go!

[@ausrawsurf]

Really appreciate it mate!

[@malcolmorrall8338]

Totally agree...Nat sound is the best. Great video...thanks.

[@oinkooink]

"way to go!" a good old fashioned Aussie saying!

[@mackash]

Yeah rock is annoying, as is metal, but nothing compares to the terrible sound of trap hip hop and dubstep. So glad that all good creators of surf vids are now doing raw.

[@evan8690]

love the raw footage with no music.

[@ausrawsurf]

Cheers Evan

[@SeaTeaSnow]

Feels like you are there more!

[@ohanastudios]

Same. Ocean bass rocks.

[@alainvosselman9960]

Waw... i love how there's no music and you get the real time sounds. It's more intense to watch. Wish more surf videos were presented like this;

[@ausrawsurf]

That’s what I’m here for! Glad you enjoyed mate

[@mikebosich5183]

well done guys awesome footage and great to hear alot of sympathy for the down trodden!! and most of the surfers were goofy-footers displaying incredible commitment! Nice work

[@ausrawsurf]

Agreed, always good to see the backhanders giving it a solid crack!

[@stevencole7331]

That slab section is unpredictable. I don't think wave selection can avoid it's pitfalls . You really have to have a feel how the wave is formed of the structure below . Some of these surfers have great instincts while others explore the agony of defeat us

[@ausrawsurf]

No easy route at deadies!

[@Vlaid65]

Loved the slow-mo replays. Well filmed and editied...and epic footage!

[@ausrawsurf]

Appreciate it! Glad you enjoyed

[@rossco-dps5392]

Absolutely pumping. It's almost like the more fluoro your board spray is, the heavier Huey's going to cain you(except for flouro blue spray guy) .... I take my hat off to the ballsy ladies and gentlemen that paddled out. No way I would even when I was young.

[@bencody-osborne275]

the pink fluro guy is literally 16

[@ausrawsurf]

Agreed mate

[@jonathanstrauss8194]

This is the best video I've ever seen of this location epic epic epic epic! Those guys are pushing their luck as it is by riding these massive waves but doing it when the sun has gone down is pure insanity. These guys have lungs of steel. Just f****** amazing

[@ferdinando7719]

Wow such a unique wave so challenging for the surfers to read it but man oh man are these guys fearlessly charging them unpredictable waves super awesome footage thanks for sharing

[@ausrawsurf]

No worries, glad to share! Very difficult waves to read!

[@diannehopkins587]

Consistency with uploads is much appreciated. They're always looked forward to!

I kept reminding myself to breathe on a couple of these shots, well done!

🙏🏽

[@windyapp]

Absolutely epic video! It's raw, filled with emotions of the crowd and some pretty brutal wipeouts. Hold your breath while watching! Help them survive the hold-down!

[@ejohndoyle1850]

OMG that last wave....wonder if he ever came back up for air!

No problem! Glad you could enjoy, stay tuned for future swell events on my channel!

[@byronetmedia]

awesome shots luke, the fact that this is handheld too is sooo impressive

[@sam57890]

ABSOLUTE BRILLIANCE! this video made my day...

[@ausrawsurf]

Thanks mate, really makes it worth chasing swells and filming all day when people appreciate the content!

[@mackash]

Keep coming back to these vids, cant wait to see d-mans on the next decent swell. Waiting patiently. Hope you catch it bro. Awesome footy and editing.

[@ausrawsurf]

Thanks bro really appreciate it! I’ll do my best to capture it this winter if it turns on 🫡

[@guillermoazul220]

Thank you for no music!! Really enjoy sound of the surf and the random beach narration ..

[@ausrawsurf]

No worries! Glad you enjoyed it

[@beachthor1]

One of the many reasons why Australia is the lucky country. Unreal waves.

[@braidos.k3657]

another one is everytime they face economic deficit there's always something new to pull out of the ground

i was thinking the same thing

[@TerenceKearns]

Those were some fucking weird waves. never seen a surprise wave jump out of the main wave to take someone out. WTF!

[@FrostedSeagull]

First up, check out another huge surf in Sydney from 6 to 9 May 2023, with the largest day being Monday the 8th May, 2023. Sydney has a bizzare coast line. Australia has a short continental shelf. This means when big swells hit, the wave 'jacks up,' ( i.e. builds up immensely) from 6 to 10 or 12 feet within seconds ! If you add rock or reef like here at Deadman's, you get huge hard-hitting surf AND barrels within barrels.

[@mr.p2105]

Nothing captures the carnage better than a bunch of Aussies saying "Awe!" In unison

[@ausrawsurf]

i know right! i love re watching this ahah

[@chriskay6234]

thank you for the great footage... we don't nearly get enough coverage on surfing, and we live on an island. there should be so much more surfing shown. thank you again.

[@danielschulmann539]

I am not a surfer but windsurfer. Looking at this I ask myself if a wider stance would help to keep more pressure on the tail of the board to keep the nose up when jumping the "slab"?

[@JasonAndersen7]

What is it called when the wave has sort of a new wave forming right at the bottom? I saw all these guys kept getting thrown by it.

[@ausrawsurf]

The little inside wave is formed from a boil in the water, caused by the reef. Some people call it a double up or just a step.
