Wave of the Winter Movie (2019)

The O’Neill Wave of the Winter is the pinnacle of the North Shore season, sure. But it was only one spectacular ride over a four-month season which saw hundreds of spectacular rides. We documented the best of these spectacular rides over the whole damn winter and packaged it into a 27-minute long movie that celebrates the heroes of the North Shore, complete with insights from those who mattered most - the surfers and judges. Enjoy.
Judges:
Gerry Lopez, Pancho Sullivan, Shawn Briley, Shane Dorian
Surfers:
Keito Matsuoka, Cam Richards, Mark Healey, Torrey Meister, Benji Brand, Koa Rothman, Tyler Newton, Eli Olson, Makua Rothman, Reef McIntosh, Nathan Florence, Kalani Chapman, Jamie O'Brien, Billy Kemper, Barron Mamiya, Makana Pang, Jordy Smith, Mason Ho, Seth Moniz and more.

When I saw cams wave I thought. "Damn that's got to be top 2 . If not winner. But the wave sort of did the work. When I saw Keitos it was the first time I've ever seen a wave and ride and said. "Oh shit, that's the wave of the winter. " Live. And honestly, maybe the best pipe wave of the last decade. Da hui boiii. Never a doubt

9:16 me in my brain: THAT WAS SO SICK been watching too much JOB

[@tommyhofer1176]

[@langsfordmusicltd283]

thank you Surfline....that was such a great video! So many classic barrels...

[@joshuadangerfield7223]

22:46 That wave in Japan just blew my mind!

[@MoustacheCloud]

Fuck yeah dude I've never seen some shit like that.

[@gatsch69]

thanks for these every year guys!

[@markkendrick7547]

Nice.......Met Pancho one year while he was on tour at the OP Pro in Huntington beach.....He knew my nextdoor neighbor Darren , on 10th and Walnut.....An amazing surfer and a very nice guy......

[@timolean5846]

Mark, Eli, and Cam all deserved to win something with those waves, I still think Cams wave was a little better, but it dropped off from intensity even though it seemed like he rode it about three times as long. Idk they were all sick not sure how Eli paddles in on a 60ft face but Benji late drop into a 12ft pipe wave is hairier? Seems like while you don’t have to be a local to Hawaii to win you have to be someone whose paid there dues and submits years of clips to win. Cam got the wave of the day when Koa Rothman went out to Hatteras and surfed a hurricane swell with Brett Barley and the boys. Hopefully Cams time will come soon.

[@justinwilson1042]

Yep Cam got ripped off majorly.

[@luciaseacreature8705]

i seriously love this... and the ending that was fun :) thank you

[@Mungadungalis]

This video made me weep with joy.

[@tommdg]

Great video! Loved watching it!

[@krustysurfer]

Thanks For The Eye Candy and Congratulations to all the Winners The Hard Chargers and the Great Judges Mahalo and Aloha

[@TheDieMusic]

That Was the Best Yet!

[@croken5811]

I clapped at the end like i was there. :)))

[@conspiraciesarejustgreatst2059]

The one surf video I truly can't wait to see every year is "Wave of the winter". I hope they don't dilute it by adding different locations around the world. Would be cool to see a compilation video of best rides from top spots around the world, but not a documentary like this.

[@jdouble2012]

Congrats to all the Chargers and to the North Shore Community

[@melaniesmith4277]

that was a 20...congrats legend!!

[@PlaySA]

I thought Cam Richards' wave had the advantage by a little bit. That thing was INSANE. Keito's had the better drop though, just an incredible wave so at this point it's just nitpicking. Keito almost won (I thought he should've won) for a similar backhand bomb a year or two ago

[@themomentumfiles3232]

It was a fun conversation this year, dissection the details. But in the end, hard to argue with those judges.

[@giuseppepavone7584]

5:58 hahahah job intro

[@greeff100]

Well deserved winner🤙🤙

[@jhelm49]

14:53 was so sick

[@luciaseacreature8705]

[@godisbollocks]

I thought Cam Richards won. But all the waves were unbelievable.

[@panospapadeas8461]

[@themomentumfiles3232]

Contest is North Shore only. But you can talk about it still.

[@OffshoreAdventures]

wowwwww

[@joslinnick]

I'd be nice to see Benji win WOTW in a season or two.

[@bryanaustin6608]

Cam won, that's all I have to say. many great waves by others surfers.

[@frankymacf]

25:19 Gerry Lopez 😂

[@back2bazyks66]

thought the finish would be insane....I think JOB won

[@davidhunt4307]

Carnt you just make a vid with all waves in instead of all talking maybe a little burger in but mainly just pipe waves 🤙

[@FullFroth]

David Hunt yep. Coming soon.

[@SailingGoonies]

NOT TRUE.... The waves do get huge in NC and SC., but only during insane hurricane storm surges..... I was there!

[@jimpaull731]

Lopez looks as old as me!

[@Knifeblade11]

That was regendary

[@AX1A]

$25k -- for a potentially rearranged face? broken Rib cage? Paralysis? Come on O'Neil -- We thought you were BIG TIME!?? Think $250k, or if you're truly Big Time, and realize the level of the risk, $1M for Wave of the Winter. Chump Change for O'Neil.

[@1982mako224]

Cam got robbed.

[@tommyhofer1176]

I see but I think that he didn't really win it. His was just a really walled closeout with multiple sections

[@jackstrada5263]

How did you spend your money last year I invested 10% in crypto, 10% in the stock market, 40% in my savings account, and the other 40% I used to buy shares in all my sponsors companies and 3 hookers! Not 🤣

[@7siamesecat]

Monetisation of surfing sucks!

[@Makta972]

(2018) nathan fletcher wave wasn't that impressive @ backdoor...

[@bloodyeyeful]

Let's make Pipeline a type of National Park. You must make reservations if you are not a local. If you are a native, you make the rules. Start a discussion.

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

I'm all for more national parks but what constitutes a local? I understand someone born and raised there or a long time resident, but how long would someone have to live there to qualify? Im 7000 miles away from Hawaii (and 1000 miles from any ocean) so I'm pretty sure I don't qualify.

[@bloodyeyeful]

@@buckodonnghaile4309 Well said. I don't know. I live near Yosemite. You can climb anything there without a permit, BUT, you can only stay there 7 nights a year during peak season. You must buy a pass, either one week, or one year. You pay separate for parking camping, hotels, food, etc. It seems to work and keeps folks from monopolizing the beauty. However....pipeline is a cultural tradition for some and that needs to be accommodated as many other things need to be.

[@jasonreimann6791]

Nah. Dude on the outside has to give the wave to dude on the inside like it always has been

[@OffshoreAdventures]

wowwwww
