I literally cried after watching. After 30 years of surfing I was diagnosed 4 years ago with myotonic muscular dystrophy. In my mid-30s I was most comfortable in Big Surf.I now have the money to travel to the places I want to go to, but now I just get to watch. I've had big sessions at killers and sunset. So I'll take what I've been given.
Jetty1502 thanks for the wake up call. I am 24 and just got robbed almost $3k out of my backyard in assets (I have maybe 5k total in assets)- stoked they didn’t steal any boards. Going to remember this comment. Stay stoked man and that last statement you make is something I think we all could benefit from doing (take what we’re given, acceptance of the objectively factual but with a meant to be perspective/approach
But dys= not--trophy= food. No food? Stupid hospitals or, wat? Ot= sign signal-- language vs technology. Language wins- always. Ton=tongue. Chaldean- Israeli
Oh man, that's a tough one. I knew a girl with myotonic dystrophy, and she died at 13 just a few months ago. As I'm sure you've heard, there seems to be a cure in the works, I hope you get a chance to take advantage of it!
@@gasblowindev1537 Except at 1:50, 2:20 and 2:38 you see the surfers get to their feet having paddled in... Some big waves need a tow-in, but most of these appear not to be. As for the original post: I don't understand why these video makers don't show the real speed and then a slo-mo and why they have to drown it all out in heavy metal or the classical mash-up playing here.
@@championthewonderhorse9733 Hey it's better than shitty trap music or some shit. At least this classical mashup enhances the feeling of "you're gonna fucking die" that you get from gigantic slabs. But I agree raw footage would be good too.
That 2nd wave ridden by Shaun Lopez (?) is a BEHEMOTH. And both Danilo Cuoto and Luke Shepherdson get INSANE tube rides, but Danilo actually makes his... barely. Luke finally had to ride the foam ball. This clip is MEZMERIZING, thanks for posting!
It isn't anatomical, so it isn't motion--mot= death-Chaldean. You need, language. Anat= answer, an=when, where, om=people, ic= his, al= above. anatomy isn't Greek.
When it is this big, there is not much you can do because of the speed. You can try to penetrate the water, but because if the speed, you just skid along the surface, then get sucked up, and then you are along for the ride.
Thanks for keeping us stoked. The C-19 shutdown is a short- term inconvenience with our global health and safety in mind. We will surf again. Be safe healthy and well.
Paddling and towing are different sports, you need to show them letting go of the rope so everyone can see. In this video, all the surfers that you didn't see paddle in towed except Luke.
As far as I know... That place usually can't produce that pedigree of wave EVER! It's like JAWS and TEAHUPO'O having a baby with all of the danger that both places bring into one. That's heavy as well as pushing hard over shallow reef.
Really?? For me it seems way easier wave than Teahupoo, and not as dangerous... Idk about Jaws tho. Also I think it cannot be shallow with that amount of water moving and being that big, it shouldn't break over shallow reef but there should be at least a few meters of water between surface and bottom. I've surfed a total of about 20 months more or less in Indonesia, in 8-9 trips there.... That's what I learned there. I've always surfed the biggest swells there, triple overhead( 2,3,5 guys out maximum) Of course with big size, depending on the Wipeout or getting caught inside, it can send you to the bottom, but definitely when it's big is not shallow, it breaks so far from the shore...
@@perikopalotespalotones2729 Triple overhead in Indo? Where? This video is triple overhead and after surfing Indo on and off for the last 5 years this year was the only year it hit triple overhead and the closest to this year was about 3/4 years ago. (Century swell) I was in Indo for both. I must be going to the wrong places.
@@littlellama8405 yes you definitely are going to the wrong places mate. I've been surfing Indo since 2009 and not only it gets triple but 4 overhead almost each year at least once. And I am a 185 cm guy... Indeed I have a 2x1.5 meter picture in the wall of my kitchen where you can see me surfing a 7 meters wave in Bali, I have measured it couple times already hehehh... Taken in 2012, they even said in magicseaweed that the whole bukit 'went nuclear'. Well Kelly Slater appeared by surprise specifically to score Padang and Sanur, so yeah it was such an epic swell if that guy bothered to travel half world, something good he was sure was gonna happen :) and it did. Triple+ overhead waves that were hundreds of meters in length....I've surfed 3 of the bukit waves in 4 overhead conditions, the only 3 waves there that handle that size tho...
@@littlellama8405 correct, this video is 3 overhead and some 4. Indeed I've seen once a wave in Bali go similar to cloudbreak, only once I saw it peeling that way, it was the swell i mentioned before. Actually only 1 guy was able to surf it with a board the size of a boat. We were in the water and all of us 4 got washed down by a massive set. I call it the day **** went like cloudbreak LOL. Are you from Fiji? Cloudbreak could easily be my favorite wave, before I was obsessed with size, now I don't surf but will get back to it.
@@perikopalotespalotones2729 Lucky you man!! I wish I could surf it that size. I only watched the mega swell this year which was terrific!! Surfed Bingin over double (the day before the huge swell) and that was a chore of a paddle just to keep position ha ha ha ha.
Yeah, like what could possible go wrong trying to kite surf that?!? Maybe getting the strings wrapped around your neck and asphyxiating under water. Is adding another layer of risk and complexity necessary in those conditions?

Jetty1502 sorry to hear mate. 🙏
Why do all these videos have to be in slow motion? I would love to watch how fast this wave really is.
Couldn’t agree more and I’d also like to see the paddle in.
@@owendeakin1489 they don’t paddle in to waves like this they get towed in by jet skis.

Don't think I've ever seen a better barrel, anywhere. 15 foot plus, clean, and he's slotted deep. For a long time.
You know what's incredible about this wave? The shape remains the same, from 6' to 20' stays wide open.
and ramon navarro wave????
Delighted to see these guys paddling in, something special about paddling into Giants!
Everyone in this vid who paddled got eaten alive. What is the point?
Agreed.
Amazing. I been in 8- 12 foot surf and it was humbling.
Still one of the top sessions ever!
Tip for anyone about to watch: change to double playback speed and hit MUTE
Good point, thx for da tip. Makes it that much more scary also....
right, and that music blows
1.75 seems a little better
Takes a lot of courage and skill to ride these waves
The best big wave to watch. It goes on and on and the barrel seems to grow the longer you charge. Incredible
Epic! Garrets a MONSTER.
this is the best
can you please be my friend and come to north Stradbroke island
Shepardson and McNamara got the deepest but paid the price. Shepardson's ride was INSANE
filming in those swells looks like it would be so fun
If this isn't the best wave in the world...show me what is..! I can only imagine.Nuff respect!
It's almost too perfect.
I wouldn't know whether it's the biggest but it's pretty bloody big! Respect for anyone who was out there
Bula vinaka this fiji ,not only surfing but best friendly people in the world ni sa bula vinaka ,god bless fiji..
Best surfing video I ever saw
1:56 why does his board have handles?
better than Teahupoo that day... AMAZING
Wow the waves are giant indeed. Great video.
That is some of the best surfing I have ever seen!!!
Biggest most perfect waves on that day. Looked like some 30-40 foot faces!!
Teahupoo, Cloudbreak,that Irish wave and shipsterns the best waves on UA-cam
I like seeing Garrett wipe out trying to snake in on the paddle session on his jet board 😂
That's definetely the biggest I've ever seen it, those chargers were taking off on liquid mountains! The footage is insane.🤘🍻
For such a big wave it holds the most amazing shape over a very shallow reef i believe balls of steel.....
Unbelievable, paddling into that big a wave. Only at Cloudbreak and the barrels that can fit a Mac truck.
Everyone who paddled in paid the price, at least in this vid...
Great to see GMAC out there.
Poor fella at 0:53, it was raining out so he had no choice except to hide out in that massive barrel.
*Actually, the answer is yes. It's the biggest😏*
Bella and Amy A glorious day. I prefer Teahupoo but this is an epic day for sure
, Teahupoo has a thicker lip but this swell was in my opinion a longer & more makeable wave
no the 2012 is the biggest day
Why do filmmakers get obsessed with slow motion??? It ruins good footage
It's like watching porn in slo'mo.😒
It isn't anatomical, so it isn't motion--mot= death-Chaldean. You need, language. Anat= answer, an=when, where, om=people, ic= his, al= above. anatomy isn't Greek.
I put the whole video on 1.25x made it much better
Is there a technique when you wipe out or do you go for the ride and hope you don't get crushed from all that water falling on you
When it is this big, there is not much you can do because of the speed. You can try to penetrate the water, but because if the speed, you just skid along the surface, then get sucked up, and then you are along for the ride.
by far, biggest most hollow wave i've ever seen....looks like being inside a gym...pure insanity
Insane footage
Are there videos on youtube that are on board one of these surfers?? That's something I'd like to see Red Bull!!
Cody like GoPro footage?
yeah
Who was Ramón ?
Watch with no sound. Your welcome : )
The music is what makes it more epic....
Bowling balls for sure to charge that stuff! Well done!
Somehow the paddle in bombs r more impressive but kudos, u guys scored a magical day!
Absolutely incredible
Stop it! Just Stop it! Paddle out , man up. Enough said. Awesome
The way the wave at 3:00 grows from merely "huge" into a sky-eating monster.
Crazy, sucks he ate it on the foam ball at the end that was a wave of a lifetime.
Any chance we can see it without the music and in normal speed?
Awesome I loved it
Actually that moment when u know whatever u will be comment it will be not enough
Haha, you can try again anytime! 😜
Absolutely INSANE!
Garret is parking it; as some surfers say. It would have been better if the dudes were not screaming the whole time. good stuff.
Cmon, what's wrong wi a holler?! I whistle n shout t myself soon as it's overhead, it's not 'all' glorious sky cathedrals
I don't even know how it's a question, cloudbreak is clearly the best wave in the world
Whys it always overcast at cloudbreak?
is it snowing?
This break is daunting. The music is superfluous.
That shit is gnarly in so many ways…thx
Charging Lads 💪💪
...Ooooo weee.....dat's some heavy surf!!!
The roar of Cloudbreak !
Thanks for keeping us stoked. The C-19 shutdown is a short- term inconvenience with our global health and safety in mind. We will surf again. Be safe healthy and well.
Hi from a year later, turns out you could have gone surfing the whole time with no risk to anyone LOL
@@squarecrackeryou still don't understand why we had to have lockdowns
@@russe19642 I understand why they said we needed them, i just don't believe they made a material impact at all.
that idea for double playback speed through settings and then hit mute, works fine.
GRACIAS
Where is this? Soo cool
Sechi boci taro kila ? Lai wadruta tu mada !

Great images. I wish people didn't put music on surf footage. It really does not need it.
Awesome 👌
This video's incredible amazing video I am stuck
Very crazy😎👏🏼👏🏼

Cloudbreak anxiety sessions
Last barrel was close to the best barrel I’ve ever seen
Perfect
This is the SAME wave that Tom Hanks tried to paddle over in CASTAWAY. Let that sink in😂
HUGE,PERFECT,SCARY. POCA BROMA
The Exorcist music is a buzz kill ,
But the surfing is Supreme
That guy with the kite tried to push thru the lip... Bad choice, must have gotten so destroyed.
fresh donkey i keep replaying trying to see his body flopping in the falls but cant see him
Yeah, like what could possible go wrong trying to kite surf that?!? Maybe getting the strings wrapped around your neck and asphyxiating under water. Is adding another layer of risk and complexity necessary in those conditions?
P.T.S from watching that!WOW! much respect to you mad chargers!aloha
G-Mac is the man. Top 5 chargers of all time.
Coooooool dooooood
Namaste
and ramon navarro wave?
Does someone remember Lenay?
Insane!
That 2012 swell was better I’d say. Crazy waves!!! But that 2012 one the barrels were sooooooo wide. These ones a bit almondy.
Where's Laird?
Awesome!
*yessss so heavy!* 🌊👊
Amazing.
is cloudbreak the best left in the world for big surf?
Mullaghmore Ireland is extremely close .....
Awesome
So crazy
Respect
25’-30’?
the power of energy🌊⚡
Power = Energy/time :-)
Neal Miyake , I made a mistake in the wording??
Eu sinto muito. Your wording is fine. I just made a bad joke about physics. Aloha amigos.
Neal Miyake , in physics makes sense.
2:08
BRUTAL
I looked thru the dictionary and tried to find words that best describe these surfers and could not find any.
Scary
And really awesome
Epic!
RedBull thinks everyone’s attention span is 3 seconds. Show the whole effing ride man
Whats with the music?
Biggest in our life time at least, who know whats coming !! Yeeeeww !!
How was that G_Mac barrel.. ?! Siiiick !@!
Probably Yes ,
No
Its definietly YESSSSSSSSS
the paddlers.... woah.
So sick
