The Best (As in Worst) Surfing Wipeouts of 2015

[@wigglethemiddle1]

I’ve been slammed by waves a fraction of this size and felt helpless and worried getting held down .... can’t even imagine what these were like!

[@phil4934]

what on earth are you supposed to do when there are like 5 waves breaking in one wave, besides wipeout

[@tankmaster1018]

You either jump the lip and hope to god you recover and don't hit another, or you crash. Haha I've only seen 2 people drop one of those "waves inside the big wave" at Shipsterns without eating shit. With that spot, you just have to hope you get lucky and don't hit one of those lips. There are more then a few waves I've seen there that are just completely unridable by even the best surfers so you just have to get lucky that your wave isn't insane.

[@Daisy-Moo]

I was sadly held down by 4 waves in a row in Teahupoo. I went to drop down into the wave and some cheeky cunt drops in front of me. I had to choose between either crashing right into him, or leaping off my board. I would rather not worry about accidentally killing someone or being hit by their board. I can feel where mine is based on the tug of the leash but not anyone else's. Also hitting the reef was another concern. I almost died. I am so lucky to have came up JUST IN TIME on the 3rd wave to get a small little breath in. I fully believe no one can survive a 5 BIG WAVE wipe out unless they have gone through extensive and vigorous training specially for massive wipeouts. The waves were probably around 14ft-16ft with 18 footers occasionally and a 4 wave hold down almost killed me. Imagine those waves at 20ft? Fucking forget it. I wouldn't be typing this out. I've been to Teahpoo countess times. I haven't been back since. And that my friends is why you never take the first wave! I've been surfing for 10 years and never did something so fucking awful happen to me. Oh but the cunt that cut me off? He was fine. It's one thing to wipe out because of a mistake you made. But I did because this little shit thought I would somehow have enough room behind him. (because what even is surfers etiquette, am I right?)

@@Daisy-Moo Bullshit.

[@michaelj8793]

Definitely some come to Jesus wipeouts Super stoked you crazy dudes lived to surf another day and share with us mere mortals 👍🤘

[@DanHomeAtLast]

I'm amazed that none had a broken neck or back, neither concussion or severe bruising! remarkable considering the power of those beasts. one dude there be like "I went to try get another wave after that" WTF are his balls made of!!!

[@ErikDufresne]

Das Loco Bro.

[@jaydubya3698]

I don't know how these guys surf Shipstern's when it's big....unpredictable steps, sucking, steep, critical. Just seems way suicidal.

[@SDBARTENDER1]

I cant believe these guys are alive.

[@nickolasgeyfman3915]

These are the lucky ones

[@tylermckw]

I remember i was at el Moro and a giant set of 8 foot waves (I'm just 11) and I got clobbered by all 3. I remember my eyes just getting pulled back at an extraordinary speed and my body doing crazy flips. I finally made it out of the water and luckily I had fins on. (I'm not too strong of a swimmer) and another day where I was going over a 5 footer sideways and the the backwash that day made the lip wiggle so I was stuck in the lip getting pounded. I sat onshore for most of the day.

[@conorsheridan2998]

DoritoBros. That had to be a rouge set. I go to el Moro and the biggest I've seen is 6

[@tylermckw]

Conor Sheridan yeah it was a rough day. One day when I paddled out super far there was a giant slab 2ft tall already 100yds out

[@Daisy-Moo]

When I was 11 I had the EXACT same thing happened. I stopped surfing for a year, and I'm very disappointed at myself for letting it get to me. Now I'm 21 and I surf every day possible. My biggest wipe out was on an 18ft wave and honestly it STILL doesn't compare to the crippling fear I felt when I was 11 even though the waves were 6-8ft.

[@forkii4122]

Life lesson: Don't surf Shipsterns

[@dickdeoreo]

It’s an ugly wave, but every time I see a bad wipeout at teahupoo, I just assume they died. It’s such an insane wave. It’s breathtaking

[@Taylordude-Productions]

1:57 Please send donations to memorial fund of that dude.. RIP

[@CreatureSkateboardC2]

We need a new edition guys! Its been too long!

[@Lostyron]

This is so immersive, thanks ! Much respect.

[@camerondavid8089]

Stoked you guys pulled brad up!

[@anonymousano688]

Awesome vids. We are eagerly waiting for the 2016 version.

[@justtowatch111]

Some of these guys would have been having water come out their noses for like a month!.

[@sahilsaiyad8336]

wala

[@geraldfordman7474]

As a retired surfer who almost drowned in huge surf, I'm an advocate of Tow-in surfing. Or better yet, tow-in surfing on a Foil board that's been pioneered by legendary big wave surf Laird Hamilton. Everyone has their own standard, but I say set your size limit, say 20-30 feet. Beyond that. wise up before you make the biggest mistake of your life!

[@insilence6480]

NICCOLO WOWOWOWOWOW.at least he survived. Biggest swells ive been in is 15' Rosarito Mex after a Pacific storm

[@janalol]

Where do u even find these waves? Damn

[@izzojoseph2]

Wild. I bodysurf. I’ve done some big waves (for me) 5’ wave with a 10’ face, Looking to go over the falls. So much fun but def at the edge of acceptable, willing wipeouts (again, for me) I can’t even imagine going up and over on these monsters. I think the coolest place I’ve bodysurfed is Zuma in LA. The waves are so fast, it’s almost scary because unless you have a hand board and fins, it’s tough to keep up. These guys are, like, living superheroes.

[@corpuscollossus]

Tyler at the end there calls his wave a '15 footer'. That's 25-30 surely?

[@dylanjmedia715]

he most likely means the swell and the face of a wave is double that most of the time

[@surfinmuso37]

Aussies are modest.

[@joeygale4659]

that wave was 6 foot hawaiian

[@stela1241]

corpuscollossus 15 feet is ALOT trust me..I’ve been by 4 feet waves and they looked like monsters.

[@otveteras]

I believe the aussies measure waves at height from sea level. The face of the wave is roughly twice as high.

[@silonical5710]

I miss this series :(

[@birderjohn3396]

4:11 That wave broke weird.

[@xavii2026]

It’s called shipsterns bluff and it breaks like that every time,that’s why so many people wipeout on it

[@jom0bx189]

3:11 and that's when he knew *he fucked up*

[@denboe2894]

Multiple, jagged, breaks in the waves.

[@fartymcparty]

i got slammed by a like 3 or 2 foot wave and my leg rope snapped, thought i was a goner until i realized i was at the sandbank and could stand LMAO

[@Brads256]

the last one is crazy there were waves inside the wave

[@izzojoseph2]

What is it about Shipstern that makes the waves double inside of themselves?

[@SuperScottCrawford]

from what i've seen, if you surf shipstern's, then you *deserve* a good wipeout.

[@michaelgeorgiou2301]

Ive done a 50cm wave in portugal literally and this is 50m

[@elle8577]

Bruh a 10ft wave crashed on me and I was scared 😭

[@SDBARTENDER1]

1:03 one of the heaviest wipeouts I've ever seen.

[@Honehail]

shipsterns is waves breaking inside of waves. that is insane

[@surfingandbmxbikesdenham292]

Same happen to be kids never try this with this big of waves

[@user-sz6kp1tn6c]

I was caught in a very big wave on my board during vacation. My dumbass just fell backwards on purpose thinking it was Cool. i was pulled in all sorts of directions I couldnt even control my own movements

[@prodj1437]

4:24 that we've not ist easy for play with the don't have it form like wave

[@piersonburbach6615]

Nice new vid

[@perfection4749]

I was in three feet of water (southern cali) look at women on the beach, and BLAM! Got smoked by a wave that was enough to be over my head, hurt like hell (felt like a backbuster) flipped tossed turned this way and that underwater! Remember not knowing which way was up and that was scary. It sucked my class ring off of my finger. And that was a four foot wave!!! I can't imagine what a 20' wave would do!!!

[@sahilsaiyad8336]

Libranitus Johnson

[@M1L35_M]

1:03 is a huge wave!

[@Aromatic-ring]

The thumbnail isn’t even a wave. It’s like 20 waves inside of each other

[@stashwax5720]

And I thought my 8 foot wipeout was bad

[@kreepingjenny1072]

2020?

[@edit4112]

Never want to be there... Damn!

[@foreverkurome]

Looks like a wave with wavelets isn't good to have in these.

[@johnh4143]

putting yourself in that position ,for that moment, is like nothing else ... God helped you. now go help others

[@ChristafuhM]

Shipsterns is so shady

[@bimtacos52]

Marcio Friere = Tracy Morgan?

[@Elisheval]

y do ppl surf shipsterns? it seems unsurfable.... "steps" they call them, God tripping up surfers is more like it.

[@whoruazol1814]

Who else thinks coco Nogales looks a bit like Joe Rogan?
