Congratulations Shane for living your dream. Thanks too to Conor for capturing these rich experiences on video to share with the surfing community. You both did a wonderful job. Thank you.

[@InTrouble]

Without Limits, indeed! Impeccable doco Conor!!!

[@steveperreira5850]

Just beautiful to see those Drops and turns on a bodyboard. Huge waves!

[@scottconway392]

What drives me insane about that shipsterns wave is that he is so calm and sticks to line even though he knows it's over.

[@A-FrameWedge]

What else could he do, it's not like he could of punched out the back on a wave like that.

[@slayer8actual]

@@A-FrameWedge I think he means that there should have been a lot more screaming involved.

Tbh you often take less of a beating vs trying to bail out in heavy AF big surf ime.

[@joejoe2132]

For sure pushing the limits!! So sick charging big waves like that on a bodyboard. Done it my whole life and could never imagine getting to that point. Straight up charging it!!!

[@allenstevens8304]

This is amazing this is what I imagine when some one says their living life

[@LIQUIDE]

amazing

BEAUTIFUL shot at the ending. Sunset with bodyboarder in water.

Much respect from the Gold Coast! PEACE!

[@Kxbenextdoor]

Easily one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever watched💯

[@hi..9440]

I love bodyboarding. It's so fun. I wanna catch some amazing waves like these one day. ❤️

[@henryssurfshowcase]

Boogie boarders are so under rated in these kind of waves and conditions-so heavy!

[@LIQUIDE]

yeah BRO

[@Moondoggy1941]

Surfers are always trying tell people what a great bunch of guys they are, and they are anything but, always fighting over waves spearing you with their board,. laughing at newbies even though they were once as well. It is easy to be an ass you have to try to be a decent person.

[@BigScreenTony]

more people need to push it like this. Stoked to see someone else is

[@scoot3221]

you know its serious when a wave barrels inside a wave

[@deldridg]

Good lord, this is pushing the standard for story, production, footage and so on. Great 5 mins and big cred to young Shane too. Thanks for this - amazing viewing. Makes me want to drag out my bodyboard and hit the surf here in Sydney tomorrow, first thing. Cheers - Dave

[@Osprey1994]

After feeling the power of a small 8-10ft wave that swallows you I can't imagine what it's like getting swallowed by these massive waves. Nor do I want to honestly because you feel powerless when it takes over.

[@Jayisjay-g5c]

I surfed smaller board for years but after two back injuries I had to give it up, and that was when I first looked hard at bodyboards. I keep two, both 2XL. These Teahupoo waves look especially challenging. These guys must have a talent for riding out the falls. Must be like tossing around in a turbine. Or yoga conditioning. Great show.

[@MrWallybones]

I love watching surfing/bodyboarding/bodysurfing videos and this is just stunning to say the least. He is just so poised on these perfect and ginormous waves! Thanks for this.

[@absaabsa6444]

you are great. thanks for exisiting and making my bodyboard life a full conquest

[@sowshulmedia9482]

OK, the wave at 2:20 is just un-fookin'-real ! That's got to be a 30-40 second breath hold after the rag-doll wipe-out... what a ZEN master !

[@RegiZiyad]

Sowshul Media plus its the thickest and heaviest wave worldwide

[@reds7vn370]

Sowshul Media That's Shipsterns.

[@austinoldfield5251]

AlucarD thickest and heaviest?????? Son have u need to look up teahopu...... this is literally about half the water

[@SpaghettiToaster]

Austin Oldfield no it's very similar

[@yamama3038]

teahupoo, and you're right, it has a lot more density and is a lot more heavy than shipstern.

[@jaketaylor2759]

This gave me goosebumps!

[@danielvasquez2760]

I wish I could leave everything behind and focus my life on bodyboarding as my job

[@TigerJack666]

do it

[@carlos-co1bl]

Daniel Vasquez men if you want it, just go for it, every person in this world must focus their own life on gaining and making real your dreams ;) saludos!

[@danielvasquez2760]

if it was only that easy, not having the money or a ocean around me makes it nearly impossible

[@-Mu-min]

Daniel Vasquez do it!

[@reds7vn370]

Daniel Vasquez I dropped everything, sold it all and moved to the beach just so I could surf,ride let, paddle and fish. Best decision of my life!!!

[@hukedonfonix1671]

Started surfing when I was 6, after an injury I resorted to a Mach 7-7 with blue and yellow churchill's in my mid 20s, I have since had some of the most burly late takeoffs,deepest pits, also some of my hardest rides over the falls say what you will it takes as much if not more nutts to ride bigswell on a bodyboard, you cant pump to gain speed, you must commit to a line regardless and for that I respect both with all of my being

[@LIQUIDE]

Classic Mach7-7 me too!

[@seatoskyadventures6130]

That wasn’t a wave That was the ocean falling on you. Insanely heavy!

[@MrAdventure96]

5:05 Did that with a 10ft wave, cant even imagine having THAT wave slam you. Respect.

[@christopherhill4936]

That wave he fought is like 20ft

[@LIQUIDE]

Save the bodyboarding around world. Aloha from Brazil!!! LiQUIDE!

[@christinedavis9977]

Beautiful footage..all my respect!

[@rodtemplar258]

hope he comes and surfs mavericks. I know he will be the champ.

[@emancify]

When you consider that a Body-boarder is actually traveling at much lower speed (at least 6-12 MPH slower than a surf-board rider), it is pretty remarkable that Shane Ackerman hasn't been killed from this disadvantage. God Bless him and his family/friends... I'm praying for his safety.

[@forestashley2822]

Disadvantage? Nah, it’s just more barrel time 😂😂

[@Sidetrackification]

He's so good, he makes it look easy!

[@antonioantonucci45]

Simply wonderful

Hey, I've considered surfing that first spot many times. Cool to see someone out there. Sketchy.

[@guyfromBR]

Shane Ackerman is an inspiration, clearly fulfilling his Destiny, with a rare blend of Talent, Bold Mindset - and a Vertebral Column made of rubber! That 4:47 monster at Teahupoo is proof enough that he was born with it, which helps a lot! ;)

[@brendonward4763]

Man I hope he is protecting his ears. I have calcfified drums and hearing loss from riding much smaller stuff in the 70's and 80's.

[@mikebell4396]

Brendon Ward wait what? How does surfing hurt your ears?

[@asmodeus304]

(@Mike Bell) Not only is it loud, but it’s liquid. If it can get in your mouth and your eyes, it can easily get into your ears.

[@Tennis_player_sean]

I’m envious of any talented boogie boarder. It’s my fav thing to do in Hawaii but I’m not good. I can do small waves but I just can’t do the ones that get big and break on the sand.

[@ltec1]

Hahahahahaha man what is this comment. God I love the internet.

[@caliman5547]

Yep ME TOO !!! BUT mine was from insisting being plastered to the front of the stage whilst enduring an hour or so of db onslaught by Nugent, VanHalen, Black Sabb and handful of other GODS OF EXTREME VOLUME !!! LOL, yeah....it WAS worth it !!,

Those waves are mental enough on a surfboard at full speed. On a bodyboard that is true insanity. As a bodyboarder myself, who goes surfing all over the world with surfers, I can attest. That is FKING INSANE. Kudos and props to the madman.

[@kalaoahaole]

Not human. Surviving being monstered inside at Shipsterns and Chopes via HUGE action? And sticking that drop!?! Cha-hoo, Mr Ackerman. Cha-hoo!!

Shipsterns is the most mutant gnarly fucking wave ever! Gets me every time I see insane clips like this

[@lueyteledeluxe7457]

Bodyboarding is...and has always been the SICKEST of the surf riders...! I was never very good at it....but i was still totally into it for my high school years in the late 80's and early 90's. It wasn't until after a couple of years of bodyboarding that one rich kid got a water proof camera, and came out to our break (on an Australia beach) and took photos of us all bodyboarding. When they were developed, weeks later, I got a reality check. I had never realised, but my "style"... my stance on the board...was totally hunched. I looked like i was hanging on to that board like how a drowning woman is holding onto the piece of driftwood - or whatever is floating. But in the same set of photos, i saw the twins. .. lookin' like consummate Pro's!! They were underdogs. Always humble, in all the sports. They were good at them all - but not the best at any. Or so we thought... They had their backs arched...their torsos right up and above the board, only the 6 pack touching the board. And unlike my goofy lookin' arse, their legs weren't dragging along, they were up and out of the water ! That arched back, was pivotal. It shaped their bodies like inverted bananas, creating no drag, mid to forward balance....and they just looked fantastic! Like Mike Stewart at pipe...picture fkn perfect! And I looked like a drowning rat clinging onto a piece of driftwood! 😂🤦‍♂️ Huuuge lesson was learmt that day!!

Biggest wave I ever bodyboarded was 15ft. It was like dropping in off a two-story building. The feeling is indescribable.
