This day wasn't just the best Cloudbreak ever, this was peobably one of the best all-time days of big wave surfing anywhere on the planet, ever. Without a doubt.
For me it was, watching from the comfort of my lounge room screaming at the live stream. Unforgettable. Very rare to catch a swell like that with so many cameras already set up. Great edit. Nice to see some of those waves from a different perspective. Nuts.
It does NOT get better than this. Training and over the top passion puts you in the lineup. If you haven’t done the work you’re nobody on this day. FACTS
Ramon Navarro caught the ride of the day (3:14) and that's saying something given the volume of "wave of you life" that were caught that day. Then he goes and catches the greatest wave EVER a few years later at the same break. Legend.
Thank you for reminding me about this one. I came here because of an article that didn't even mention that. Oh I forgot! Ramon es apenas un sudamericano.
How come this footage has only come to light? I have seen many videos of this day over the last decade, but this one has rides previously unseen to me and probably many others , as well as different angles of the rides I have seen many times before. Thanks for uploading the day of days in surfing's history!! This day, and some Skeleton Bay gets my top votes, but this day 4sure 4me
Would love to hear the comparisons of this size Cloudbreak to Chopes. From here looks like Cloudbreak is an easier entry. But is different down the line with tidal changes. And gets harder. Still! Great waves and surfing.
How can you go back to civilian life after a barrel like that "1:22". I wouldn't be able to sleep for a week after that high. Waves like this make me happy I'm goofy foot. Unfortunately, I'm not equipped with the 2 20lb bowling balls required to drop in.
does not matter one drop of seawater what music plays, silence possible anyway, when reeling open verylarge waves are Visible…… like on my own thirdreef cardiff cali perfectly round deepblue lengthy sizeshifting 12’-8’-16’ barrel ride
Cloudbreak shreds the competition. Just look at it. Kelly Slater's favorite wave apparently. Top 10 most dangerous waves on the planet. The south pacific is it's own thing bro, the swell is always powerful AF and almost 100% reef/slabs.
i mean i might not be your personal preference but it's not the worst song for it ? i'm more focused on the footage myself you are free to mute it and play something you like too other than cry about it
02:44 insane. the soundtrack is so rad too. nice one guys.
This video at cloudbreak is heaven itself , the music is just a distraction for you, what a session
That empty one was easily the best. Mental power
Empty for a reason lol
I remember watching this on the live stream. I couldn't take my eyes away for a single moment.
3:15 it’s so moving to see someone actually get the wave of his life at the exact right time in his life.
Only to then catch the greatest wave of anyone's lifetime May 5th 2022 at the same break.
No words for this. Beyond description....
This day wasn't just the best Cloudbreak ever, this was peobably one of the best all-time days of big wave surfing anywhere on the planet, ever. Without a doubt.
Best waves, ever. Not for mortals, but for huge, long barrels at the edge of paddle-ability, that swell can't be beat.
Holy cow, this is next-level stuff! 👏👏👏 breakneck speeds there...

I thought the wave at 0:54 was insane until the wave at 2:43 . Stuff of dreams...and nightmares
Same
Did the first guy who bailed and dove under make it? I have my doubts....
@@SD2OCsponger That wave at 2:43 was INSANE!

Most Beautiful day ever! Thanks for capturing the action in HD
Reef Macintosh well done 👏 👏 nice soundtrack to suit this vid

Now that you mention it I haven't seen it either. Who's the videographer?
Glad you like it! I only just started a UA-cam plenty more footage coming!
@@Nickpolletlooking forward to it
that's a beautiful looking wave, but it could punish you big time. Great footage, love the sound track too
Insane footage!
Thanks!
Amazing seeing a few guys stall a bit, pretty good
Incredible, some metal ones. Great short movie, super sick 🤙🤙
That wave at 0:54 is the most pure, raw, savage and perfect wave ive ever saw. I wanna pay 15 k and sit there only to wait for a similar one
Man it takes serious balls to padle into that thing.
You got to have big ones for this
0:55 and 2:45 two of the scariest and most perfect waves I’ve ever seen at cloud
Aww yerh , pity theem who left it too late to get over the top and went over the falls ::: big time - thanks for the time markers ;-)
Beautiful wave forms. This must be the average surfers wet dream. In some of the shots the top lip of the waves look about as tall as a person.
1:00 is one of the best waves I’ve ever seen anywhere
At 1:10 looks perfect to me...just perfect!
webcast of a lifetime... hard to believe it was over a decade ago. that wave with healy's board in it D:
That wave at 2:44 was frightening. I think that guy got sucked over the falls too.
At least the music is scaring all the sharks away😂

looking like Chopes! some hellmen chargers

those giant walls It’s like some kind of alien movie.
2:43 The heaviest wave I've ever seen in 60 years of surfing.
getting a barrel like that has to be almost like being in heaven
Waow. Wonderful. Thanks for the dream 🤙🤙🤙🤙
I rather enjoyed the music and the waves.
‘Poetry in motion.. ☝🏽🌊🏄♂️🤙🏽
The amount of force needed to push so much water SO far over the break for so long... man.
Just…….. BEAUTIFUL.
For those asking how good the pros consider Cloudbreak to be, didn't Kelly say that this was his favorite wave on the planet?
@2:48 you can that the 2 most inside guys paddling, are slowing down contemplating whether to stop paddling and start diving or keep going.
@2:44 WTF
MUTANT!!!
God Wave
Never saw cloudbreak like that before 😮 when was this swell?
WOW THE WAVE at 2:50 I think it for got to be at teahupoo 😂😂😂
ah man the title had me thinking it did it again
These are the waves I drew on my maths book
Great beat
looks chopes & cloud mutation
What do you expect from the pacific ocean? Nothing but perfection and raw, raw power.
Was that last ride a tow-in ? He was hauling ass..😊
Magnificent.
2:44 HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!
55 seconds in through 1:07 omg unreal
that was crazy....
God has to be a surfer
Wingnut deserves the medal of honor out there. He’s going home
Who is wingnut?
@ its a reference to endless summer 2. They surft cloudbreak in that movie
Just let nature give us the “music”.
Check out the Raw session on my channel
Cloudbreak looking like teauhpoo
and to think this was during the contest window...
Always more impressive at normal speed...
Just another day at the beach.🎉😂
We all look for that one
Kala alexander? Where? You forgot to mention ramon navarro
unbelievable wave
Best wave on earth!?
Damn, All Time !
Best wave in the world

What was the date of this swell?! Psycho!
what is wrong with just raw ocean sounds? Surely better than what this was
Phenomenal.
Amazing.
U have my attention 😅cool
And please attach the date of the video before asking for opinions of that nature
Klackering klackers 😬
EVER THE BEST EVERRRR🎉🎉🎉
Best one ever
The best ever
If this is footage of the contest free surf way back when, then yes. Please acknowledge the time period of the video before asking that question.
Another World
Gnarly dudes
2:47 wtf is that
yes mate
does not matter one drop of seawater what music plays, silence possible anyway, when reeling open verylarge waves are Visible…… like on my own thirdreef cardiff cali perfectly round deepblue lengthy sizeshifting 12’-8’-16’ barrel ride
Where does this wave rank globally? Among people who Know what they're talking about.
Top 3 easy for raw power and epic deep pits
@@jerrybow8779 I would think it would have to be. Care to name the other two? J-Bay, Ulu or Padang?

@@softhotty pipe and chopes the other two
@@jerrybow8779 Ok. Cloudbreak looks to be sheer perfection I must say.
June 8 2012
Idc what any1 says
Cloudbreak is the best wave in the world
Incredibly good, but not the best ever
👍! ! ! 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Psycho! 🔥🙌🏼🔥
3.15.....foam ball riding at its best.....jim banks style
💚🔥
Uh what am I supposed to say
big dogs
Video is chaotically slowed down ad speeded up.
It is cartoon, and not surfing if uploader does EITHER.
Personally
Once again completely detached music. You might as well just play Beyonce. Why do you guys do this? Do you honestly enjoy this music?
Beyoncé 🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤣 I think the key is lyrics I don’t want to hear words and nonsense from a singer when watching amazing visuals the words ruin it.
I would rather hear a disc grinder tear into a rabid dingo. That soundtrack is weak
i mean i might not be your personal preference but it's not the worst song for it ? i'm more focused on the footage myself you are free to mute it and play something you like too other than cry about it
stop being a bitgh abt someonelses choice! go and make a better video instead
😂😂
Dangg
Big boy big balls surfing….journeyman only…really brutal music..obvious a woman picked it
😳
