I almost lost my husband to a 40ft rouge wave. We were standing on a cliff and I was back further than him. When this giant wave came up and swept over the cliff. When it pulled back, my husband was gone. I seriously thought he had been swept out to sea. All of a sudden his head popped up from below the cliff. The water had pulled him down but he was able to grab on to the side of the cliff and hold on. It was honestly nothing short of a miracle and we found out later people died in that area before.
"Rogue" waves do not break on shore or reefs, they're the result of strong currents and strong winds out at sea. I believe they occur in deep channels, with strong current, where the wind is also strong and blowing in the opposite direction for some sustained period.
Of course they reach the coast! Where else would the go? They are simply larger that usual waves , usually occurring among a smaller ground swell. As the wind generated swells travels through deep water, they aligns into “trains” or set. Given the right conditions , these can combine into giants. You’ll see them at the surf break as a WAY larger that usual set. On a big day of swell you may see one or two rouges waves or even sets
@@camerongieda They almost invariably happen far out at sea. This video is using the term so loosely as to be silly. Rogue waves weren't even believed to be real until somewhat recently, say in the last 30 years with video proof. Of course not all waves that hit the shore are the same size, but calling them rogue waves is misusing the term.
@@jamespisano1164 Incorrect.. A rouge wave hitting the shore is called a “Sneaker Wave” . There have been reports of these waves for many years and the physics of how they form is very well understood.
@@camerongieda That was not mentioned in any of the internet research I did or in the documentary on rogue waves that I watched. For a video to claim to display rogue waves and not show any out at sea is stupid. Nevermind the wave they showed at Mavericks was totally expected by the locals and I believe Jeff Clark protested the media setting up where they did cause it was just a matter of time before they were washed out; there was nothing sneaky or rogue about it. The rogue waves mentioned in my research are the result of deep channels with swift current, and strong winds blowing the opposite direction that bunch up several waves into one giant wave. This is also "physics that is well understood." The rogue waves travel fast and can be 100' high like a wall of water. They sink ships or punch huge holes in them. The waves in this video are not "rogue waves" as far as I'm concerned. In any event this convo is boring and I'm out.
@@camerongieda rouge waves only last for 30 seconds normally but in rare cases they can last up to 2 minutes, no where near enough time to reach the coast you idiot!
he is just taking the biggest waves ever surfed at big wave surf spots like nazare and mavericks. I’m pretty sure true rogue waves don’t break on the shore like this and occur out in the middle of the ocean
I was a young Marine aboard a US Navy LPH (Landing Platform Helicopter) ship back in 1977 in the Bermuda Triangle returning from the Mediterranean to the USA. It was night and we got hit broadside late at night by a 40 foot rouge wave that crashed into our ship. It nearly capsized the ship. The screws came out of the water and the whole ship shook. The next day the captain came on the intercom and told us to come up to the landing deck to see the damage cause by a 40 foot rouge wave. There was a walk way made of steel just below the helicopter deck and it was bent all the way in such that you could not pass through it. Pretty scary to think about now.
@@christopherfritz3840 after my tour of duty in the Marines, I did join the Maine Army National Guard doing Tank Turret maintenance. A lot of fun driving around in an M1 A tank haha.
A lot of the damage caused by water is due to the suction force from torrents of water flowing by- a fluid version of the Venturi effect. This is why steel parking meters got flattened to the ground in the Hilo tsunami. It was from water flowing back OUT to the ocean.
I was in a place where they had no waves, I was swimming with my little cousin having a good time, they turn back and see a like 15 foot wave coming for us. My first instinct was to cover my cousins mouth so I did, lifeguards had to come and get us. When I say it knocked my heavy dad down easy it really did. He was a bit closer to shore. God it was so scary, I have a fear of huge waves now, watching this to try and face it. It’s a good thing I could could my breath for a long time
I used to live by the beach and we went to it like every night. I was in the water with my mom I was like 5 or 4 and a huge wave came I got sucked under .meanwhile my parents were struggling to grab me,I got that feeling we’re you could not breath and all you could see was orange(from the sand). I got washed up on the beach. My parents both were trying to get me. Everyone stay safe if you see a big wave just dive into it, stay safe 💞.
It absolutely has to do with how large it is, specifically with how large it is in relation to the waves around it, the nuclear explosion waves arent' rogue waves cause it's not naturally ocurring
@@HexQuesTT A rogue wave travels in a different direction to all other waves around it and normally occurs out at sea , They can be the same size , Bigger or even smaller then the other waves around it just because a wave is big doesn't mean its a rogue . ✌️
@@aussieguy3689 they can’t be smaller. They have to be at least twice the height as the average wage height around them. As for the direction I’m not sure but I don’t think that matters
If the wave shown in the Mavericks sequence (and the main wave shown on the posted video) with all the people in the water and what looks like at least a 60 footer breaking into a massive crowd actually happened, WAY more than just 2 broken bones and a few people in the hospital would have resulted. It would be more like 200 people drowned or pulverized. Not to mention not one of the 10 waves was rogue. Click bait at best

Took me a minute to understand what you meant in those last two sentences so I guess you're saying when you looked through the people the person was waving and you're calling them a robe because they were a thief who robbed you ? Just wondering if they had a weapon ... a gun ?

The waves in the north sea are spaced far apart, like most ocean waves. That's why navy ships, freighters, and other heavy-duty ships can sail safely through them. But off the west coast of Africa, there is an area where several tankers disappeared decades ago and no-one knew why.

Eventually, their scientific work became accepted. It is believed that the waves hit the freighter broad side. But more fierce than any ocean wave, with the exception of a hurricane or tsunami, are the waves on the Great Lakes. The gale season begins in October and ends in March. These storms produce waves up to 20 feet high and that's not much on the ocean where waves can be half a mile apart. But in the Great Lakes, they are close together - measured in yards apart. This means a large ship heading into the waves can not go up and down one wave before another hits. Hence, the hull of the ship is constantly being battered. Furthermore, waves on the Great Lakes during a storm do not move in an orderly fashion. While the majority of waves are blown by the wind, waves can come from any direction and the shape of the waves can also be uneven. I've seen big white caps coming straight at the bow and then starboard a wave just leaps out of the water. I've seen waves crash into each other. It's clear why big freighters disappeared during Gale season, the most famous perhaps is the Edmund Fitzgerald - immortalized by Gordon Lightfoot. It's not uncommon for ocean-going sailors to sign-up for a Great Lakes merchant ship. Most of them don't come back after serving one season. As one sailor said, "I was never so scared in my life. You know it's serious when the crew starts doning life jackets without a command from the bridge." Unfortunately, even smaller storms, such as a quarter-gale can present enormous danger to smaller ships, and it was a sad day when a fishing boat belonging to Beaver Island Native Americans encountered difficulty and took the lives of people we considered our good neighbors. Was it a rogue wave? Possibly. These waves occur on the Great Lakes. Thank you for making such an interesting video. Very well done!
The wedding picture,I live in Nova Scotia Canada and this kills 1 person a year here. Say off the dark rocks that is where the water lives and getting back on the rock is next to impossible.
I love how he pronounces the name of the person who posted number 7 as if it were stumbled upon by a camera wielding tourist from the other side of the world and not going with the obvious "as high as I am."
I'm calling BS on the beginning of this video. That break at 0:43 is Teahupo'o in Tahiti; it's unlike any in the world, and it's thickness & weight of water is easily recognizable to anyone following the surf scene (I remember it from when Laird Hamilton was photographed riding it in 2000; that pic made the cover of Surfer magazine with the title of "Oh my God..."). The pic at 0:43 is photo shopped...
Yep I had a feeling that was clickbait because it just didn't look right because you know all those people would have been running and scattering way before that wave was that close
While in the NAVY in 1985 we were coming out of the Suez Canal into the Indian Ocean . Sky was clear but waters rough . I was standing watch on the bridge . It was not a rogue wave but one of the waves that hit caused the bow to go under and pop back up . Most of us young pups had not seen something like that before . The OOD just smiled and said , " That will make your asshole pucker ." Yep , those were the days .
I mean, it’s hard to believe a wall of water 100ft high just forms out of nowhere, especially in calm waters. There has to be something that causes it....an earthquake, a storm. Something.
@@buffalokay It's a famous photo of one of the Bikini Island underwater nuke tests. They tested to see the effect of nukes on ships at different distances from ground zero. I think the column of water is more like thousands of feet high.
I went to sea a lot with my late father who was in the Merchant Navy, our longest trip being when we circumnavigated the globe. Huge swells and troughs are commonplace and occasionally the ship actually corkscrews its way through rather than just pitching and yawing, it rolls too. Sometimes you cant see sky at all just massive walls of water. But I had good "sea legs" and never got sick unlike my sister who spent a long time feeling extremely ill! You find yourelf walking on bulkheads (walls) as much as floors and always got jip from the Stewards for putting wet footprints on them(walls) after they'd cleaned the floors.
Yeah this isn’t a movie dude. Unless you were on an aircraft carrier I doubt you blasted through these massive waves you speak of or walked on the bulkheads. I deployed on an aircraft carrier and can confirm that your story is bs
That was a memorable wedding! My work colleague’s daughter got married on the beach. The tent, chairs, table, etc. were well beyond the high tide line, so they left the rented and borrowed set up overnight with the plan to pack it up and return it next morning. Naturally, they failed to check the moon phase charts because the only thing left was the remains of the tent, a bent table and two of 80 cushioned white folding chairs! The only souvenirs they have are the video, photo album, cake topper, and the chuppah which Dina insisted be put inside the house!
I was on a stennaline ferry back from Ireland to UK. The waves were that big that they went over the boat and made the whole ship shudder on every wave.
You DO want to take a wave bow first. If a rogue wave were to find you abeam (broadside) that would be the end. Boats and ships always head into the wind in weather like that.
Its likely you will sink either way if it is a large ship the front will rise out of the water giving the risk of breaking in half so really just choose one and pray
most rogue waves dont travel in the same direction as the majority of waves they tend to travel at an angle hence the rogue bit...ua-cam.com/video/l_8hOai9hGQ/v-deo.html
Okay… I will 100% be “that bitch” who nitpicks titles! Rogue waves aren’t hitting coasts, they’re not surfed, etc. There are very specific measurements of trough to crest in relation to the waves before and after it. While some of breakers in this video are amazingly large, they make the report of true rogue waves seem less severe. When you can have a full size, twin hulled cargo ship crossing oceans be taken out so quickly that the crew doesn’t even have time to grab the mic and yell “mayday”…. those waves are entirely different beasts. I grew up a Navy Brat. I’ve had the privilege of being onboard these ginormous ships that still aren’t as large as many of these freight and container ships! I’m all for education, creative ways of learning, but remember there are people who have had to face what these things do. So dramatizing for views just leaves a bad taste in my mouth!
Here is a cut and paste about a spot in CA. Lots of history and tragedy here. The Wedge - The Wedge is a must see spot when its on, huge waves break super close to shore putting on a death defying show for all to see. The wedge is at the very south end of Newport Beach, next to the Newport Harbor man made jetty. What makes the wedge so unique, is a south swell will push in and bounce off the rock jetty and essentially collide with another wave coming in and the energy of the two waves will create a wedge or peak that can have 15 - 20 foot faces. Some have called the wedge the best body surfing spot in the country. All this action happens right in front of the beach too, so you can sit back and watch all the action under the comfort of your beach umbrella. Mostly body surfers, skim boarders, and boogie boarders rule this part of Newport, not because they are tough guys, but because Surfers are blackballed or banned from here unless its early morning or late evening. Good luck if you decide to tackle this place. Basically only breaks in the summer, don't even bother driving all the way down here if its winter.
just because its a big wave amongst other big waves doesnt make it a rouge wave. a rouge wave is twice the size of all the waves around it. you just showed surfing videos.
The height of waves add if they pass the same location at the same time. A rogue wave can hit anywhere, because statistically eventually several waves will add up on that location. A rogue wave hit a South Korean beach in the 1990s that was 30 to 40 feet higher than expected, simply by a group of waves all hitting at one time and washing up the beach. Rogue waves can hit you if you are walking on rocks by the ocean, or walking along a lower cliff by the ocean.
Most aren't rogue waves. Big wave surfers watch swell forecasts, plan trips etc. Rogue sets can come thru but these aren't them. A real rogue wave is completely unexpected.
To be fair: if a record was made in 2003 and then broken in 2017 - is it not the same record of highest wave ever surfed? I guess for these videos it would be useful to add "at the time" if the record was broken between then and the recording of the video!
Normal big waves on the North shore of Oahu run 40-50+ feet during winter months when big storms happen in the North Pacific and generate big waves that travel to Hawaii’s north shore.
@@Chainyanker007 no no no no no, not even that close. i’m sure some outer breaks and waimea can get that big but those are tho only two breaks that can get that big on the north shore. breaks like pipeline and sunset can get to like 10 to 20 ft at most
My Dad was present at the Bikini Atoll A-bombs. He had photos he took himself of the huge wall of water that enveloped the many ships. Days later they walked on the island with Geiger counters, he said they were going crazy

Thank you for making such an interesting video. Very well done!
THANKS ❤
The wedding picture,I live in Nova Scotia Canada and this kills 1 person a year here. Say off the dark rocks that is where the water lives and getting back on the rock is next to impossible.
What part of Nova Scotia, because I do to
I live in Prince Edward Island but have been to Peggy's cove and we were told to stay off the black rocks
Nice video that improves linearly with the reduction of volume.
It's okay to walk along a beach; however, never turn your back away from it.
When anyone says “smash the subscribe button” I never do
i got just what i came for! good content
Are you happy now you know what a wedding is? 3:34
@@351clevelandmodifiedmotor4 lol I guess I am. 😂
6:55 This part kind of scared me😳 What a massive one
ur name is cuute
thanks for explaining what a wedding is. Really needed that defined (smirk)
Amazing natural phenomenon. Thanks for sharing this video. I subscribed your UA-cam channel to support your videos 👍
Listen to the Barney narrator try to talk about stuff he doesn’t understand. 🤣🤣🤙
Anything but rogue waves here
These aren't rouge waves. These are just big waves. There's a difference!
They’re not rouge waves, they’re rogue waves.
they're more like blue waves, not rouge
You can’t beat a rouge wave, far better than a yellow one.
THATS A WEDDING TO REMEMBER!
I love how he pronounces the name of the person who posted number 7 as if it were stumbled upon by a camera wielding tourist from the other side of the world and not going with the obvious "as high as I am."
True, that shit had me dying.
The veins on these beasts - gorgeous
I'm calling BS on the beginning of this video. That break at 0:43 is Teahupo'o in Tahiti; it's unlike any in the world, and it's thickness & weight of water is easily recognizable to anyone following the surf scene (I remember it from when Laird Hamilton was photographed riding it in 2000; that pic made the cover of Surfer magazine with the title of "Oh my God..."). The pic at 0:43 is photo shopped...
yeah, I absolutely hate it when youtubers do click-baity bs like this
Yep I had a feeling that was clickbait because it just didn't look right because you know all those people would have been running and scattering way before that wave was that close
Nice job for the awesome dude who surfed the biggest 🌊 wave. That was so bad ass.
While in the NAVY in 1985 we were coming out of the Suez Canal into the Indian Ocean . Sky was clear but waters rough . I was standing watch on the bridge . It was not a rogue wave but one of the waves that hit caused the bow to go under and pop back up . Most of us young pups had not seen something like that before . The OOD just smiled and said , " That will make your asshole pucker ." Yep , those were the days .
Hey nice wave 👋
Parsoms just happened to have a helictoper when a rogue wave formed. Yup. You definately understand what rogue waves are. 100%
Amazing.
People: How big the nuclear wave is?!
Me: How much damage is done below sea level?! :(
The wedding tho🙈🤷♂️🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Show a nuclear test and claim it's a "rogue wave."
Lol exactly
I mean, it’s hard to believe a wall of water 100ft high just forms out of nowhere, especially in calm waters. There has to be something that causes it....an earthquake, a storm. Something.
@@buffalokay It's a famous photo of one of the Bikini Island underwater nuke tests. They tested to see the effect of nukes on ships at different distances from ground zero. I think the column of water is more like thousands of feet high.
On the basis that some videos are so bad they’re good, this is one of the best I’ve seen. Excruciatingly bad - well done!
I went to sea a lot with my late father who was in the Merchant Navy, our longest trip being when we circumnavigated the globe. Huge swells and troughs are commonplace and occasionally the ship actually corkscrews its way through rather than just pitching and yawing, it rolls too. Sometimes you cant see sky at all just massive walls of water. But I had good "sea legs" and never got sick unlike my sister who spent a long time feeling extremely ill! You find yourelf walking on bulkheads (walls) as much as floors and always got jip from the Stewards for putting wet footprints on them(walls) after they'd cleaned the floors.

Sounds like the experience of a lifetime, glad you got to do that with your dad....what great memories 🌊🌊⚓
Cool story bro
Yeah this isn’t a movie dude. Unless you were on an aircraft carrier I doubt you blasted through these massive waves you speak of or walked on the bulkheads. I deployed on an aircraft carrier and can confirm that your story is bs
@@goo5976 Because that doesn't happen on an aircraft carrier 🤦♂️🤣 she was on a way smaller boat...
That thumbnail is wild lmao
Nates the man. That paddle in wave at chopes was insane

That was a memorable wedding! My work colleague’s daughter got married on the beach. The tent, chairs, table, etc. were well beyond the high tide line, so they left the rented and borrowed set up overnight with the plan to pack it up and return it next morning. Naturally, they failed to check the moon phase charts because the only thing left was the remains of the tent, a bent table and two of 80 cushioned white folding chairs! The only souvenirs they have are the video, photo album, cake topper, and the chuppah which Dina insisted be put inside the house!
Did this guy actually explain what a wedding is?
I'm sure it makes sense in whatever language this was translated from
john richards no it wouldnt make sense in any language and I dont think this was translated
Awesome 🤩 they asked for waves 🌊 and delivered. I do not understand the people on the sand stood far too close?
I know I will never catch a wave like those ones, but oh my goodness!!!!! I can imagine the rush those boarders get. It's amazing.
WOW! Unbelievable! Stunning!
Its so funny listening to people who don't have a clue about surfing talk about surfing.
it's funny that people actually think that people care about surfing.
I usually hate clickbait pictures of the video but yours is so bad I love it.
I was onboard Anthem of the Seas on that storm, although I'm used with life at Ocean, it was really scary and it took like 12 hours, so crazy 😅
I’m in the outer banks while watching this and not even a mile from shore😂
I was on a stennaline ferry back from Ireland to UK. The waves were that big that they went over the boat and made the whole ship shudder on every wave.
Crazy waves!!
You DO want to take a wave bow first. If a rogue wave were to find you abeam (broadside) that would be the end. Boats and ships always head into the wind in weather like that.
Its likely you will sink either way if it is a large ship the front will rise out of the water giving the risk of breaking in half so really just choose one and pray
@@takunrr6864 Nah. Yes, in theory, but as the front is no longer buoyant, the ship sinks deeper. Self-correcting.
most rogue waves dont travel in the same direction as the majority of waves they tend to travel at an angle hence the rogue bit...ua-cam.com/video/l_8hOai9hGQ/v-deo.html
Thank you
As of 5/5/2021 the highest wave ridden is now 101ft. Look it up!
No it’s not
So, you’re safe from large waves if you are far the coast.
Amazing.
Okay… I will 100% be “that bitch” who nitpicks titles! Rogue waves aren’t hitting coasts, they’re not surfed, etc. There are very specific measurements of trough to crest in relation to the waves before and after it.
While some of breakers in this video are amazingly large, they make the report of true rogue waves seem less severe. When you can have a full size, twin hulled cargo ship crossing oceans be taken out so quickly that the crew doesn’t even have time to grab the mic and yell “mayday”…. those waves are entirely different beasts.
I grew up a Navy Brat. I’ve had the privilege of being onboard these ginormous ships that still aren’t as large as many of these freight and container ships!
I’m all for education, creative ways of learning, but remember there are people who have had to face what these things do. So dramatizing for views just leaves a bad taste in my mouth!
No one cares Karen
Okay Susanna Lee
Me: wait I live near the sea
Also me : looks outside
Mr.WAVE: hola
Here is a cut and paste about a spot in CA. Lots of history and tragedy here. The Wedge - The Wedge is a must see spot when its on, huge waves break super close to shore putting on a death defying show for all to see. The wedge is at the very south end of Newport Beach, next to the Newport Harbor man made jetty. What makes the wedge so unique, is a south swell will push in and bounce off the rock jetty and essentially collide with another wave coming in and the energy of the two waves will create a wedge or peak that can have 15 - 20 foot faces. Some have called the wedge the best body surfing spot in the country. All this action happens right in front of the beach too, so you can sit back and watch all the action under the comfort of your beach umbrella. Mostly body surfers, skim boarders, and boogie boarders rule this part of Newport, not because they are tough guys, but because Surfers are blackballed or banned from here unless its early morning or late evening. Good luck if you decide to tackle this place. Basically only breaks in the summer, don't even bother driving all the way down here if its winter.
just because its a big wave amongst other big waves doesnt make it a rouge wave. a rouge wave is twice the size of all the waves around it. you just showed surfing videos.
The height of waves add if they pass the same location at the same time. A rogue wave can hit anywhere, because statistically eventually several waves will add up on that location. A rogue wave hit a South Korean beach in the 1990s that was 30 to 40 feet higher than expected, simply by a group of waves all hitting at one time and washing up the beach. Rogue waves can hit you if you are walking on rocks by the ocean, or walking along a lower cliff by the ocean.
Jesus Christ!!! 😮😮😮 That's horrifying... 😢😢😢
Love to see Tidal wave 🌊 in person 😎
generally saltwater crocodiles are more dangerous than 50ft waves
are you high
You know that by experience?? I doubt it very much
I love looking at the sea and it's beauty. God almighty created sea, mountains and everything in nature. I thank him.😊
Most aren't rogue waves. Big wave surfers watch swell forecasts, plan trips etc. Rogue sets can come thru but these aren't them. A real rogue wave is completely unexpected.
Off the hook wave! Glad I wasn’t swimming there! 👍🐢❤️
Surfer travels half way around the world to catch an unpredictable rogue wave. Either the luckiest guy ever or not a rogue wave?
Most of these were not rogue waves and yep they travel to destinations that have huge crazy waves during certain times of the year .
The thumbnail bought me here
I'm sure he said at least 5 of these were the biggest waves ever surfed. Ever.
To be fair: if a record was made in 2003 and then broken in 2017 - is it not the same record of highest wave ever surfed?
I guess for these videos it would be useful to add "at the time" if the record was broken between then and the recording of the video!
I thought it said as high as I am lmao
I'm a rap artist.
The sea was angry that day, my friends - like an old man trying to send back soup in a deli.
Haha George!
Nature is scary 🌊🌊
lmfaoo this thumbnail is REDICULOUS
Ikr
I agree
This stuff is so cool
seems like most 'rogue' waves en up in Hawaii and Nazare. Quite interesting, because those spots also get a lot of 'normal' big waves that people surf
Normal big waves on the North shore of Oahu run 40-50+ feet during winter months when big storms happen in the North Pacific and generate big waves that travel to Hawaii’s north shore.
@@Chainyanker007 no no no no no, not even that close. i’m sure some outer breaks and waimea can get that big but those are tho only two breaks that can get that big on the north shore. breaks like pipeline and sunset can get to like 10 to 20 ft at most
there was only one break in hawaii. and that was jaws which is on the island of maui
It’s the small waves that are “rogue”.
@@robpolaris7272 rare 1 ft rogue wave spotted at Nazare :O :O ! XD
0:07 that was nuclear bomb test footage
That Brazilian surfer was crazy
Brasileiros não têm muitos limites
That's awesome wave 😍
My Dad was present at the Bikini Atoll A-bombs. He had photos he took himself of the huge wall of water that enveloped the many ships. Days later they walked on the island with Geiger counters, he said they were going crazy
My uncle worked on Kwaj. Married a woman from Ebeye. I rage at what the military did to that Atoll! My Aunt got a whopping $5000.00 from the government for residule radiation poisoning.
"CATCH A WAVE AND YOU'RE SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD"😎
The “wave” in the introduction was a test bomb being exploded by the Navy.
Guessing you mean the one with the battleship in the foreground? Do you know what kind of bomb?
@@yumyumbumblebee yea an atomic bomb test in 1945
Omg.just seen ur comment..I said exactly same thing bro..good 👀. 👍👍😁
Yeah, I think everyone has seen photos from that test. It's been in many documentaries.
This is EXACTLY why I’m so scared of going to the beach watching these gave me anxiety
Mr. Top General, if you want to see a Rogue wave you best get to the Rogue River in Oregon, because there is none here. P.S. I saw Bigfoot once.
I believe you about the Bigfoot ... do you want to share that story by the way ?
Also do you listen to or watch any of the channels about Cryptids
0:24 "you're safe from these waves as long as you're far from the coast"
Me in Nova Scotia: 😅
HAHAHAHA. OMG, that first wave is hysterical. Oh Disney, you're such a kidder.
That flow over isn't fake at all, that cgi pic obviously is. That wave in person is insane....
