When friendship passes the ultimate test. I'd like to say I'd do the same, but even I don't know who I really am under those circumstances; I imagine we all think we know....but I'm now 60 years old, and have disappointed the man in the mirror plenty of times.
Tide changes in Biarritz are insane. Back in 1975, when I first arrived there as a lone surfer hitchhiker from Oahu, I saw them bring in a drowned fisherman, who was actually blue in color. But waves were fun - if you understood the tidal changes.
@@felipenasser7794 He was making light of the fact that she ruined the board by dragging it across the concrete. It's funny to people who surf because he's more concerned about the board than the two surfers who by all appearance had no business being in the water under such extreme conditions. It's a droll sense of irony. It's almost a surfer's inside joke.
I bodysurf on this particular beach (côte des basques) when it's too big everywhere else. And I've been in that situation : always remember to get out before it's too late. Last time was pretty big, 3m, and once I reached the shore I was too far away from those stairs (they get slippy btw). I could stand on rocks if I wanted. Had to remove my fins in between sets, swim toward the stairs but not get too close to avoid getting smashed. Took me 15mn of careful calculations and several attempts, and I still fell in those stairs. High tide + big conditions = hard time.
Been there, got thrown into a seawall made of huge boulders with my 9'6" single fin longboard by the breakers, I was trapped in amongst the boulders just getting pounded by breaker after breaker holding on for dear life, I seriously thought I was gonna die, lucky a couple of dudes were up on the seawall watching they climbed down and rescued me, I was big time torn up from the boulders and all the mussels growing on them, and my mal board got some major holes smashed in it and the fin got ripped off, big lesson on reading the conditions learned there.
Happened to me on the stairs at C street once at Ventura Point...big NW super moon tide...took half an hour to get in....I ended up just paddling out around the pier and going in on the other side. Scary.
Die Strömung ist so stark das man immer die Welle im Auge haben muss. Eine Kopfverletzung ist schnell da und tödlich. Einfach nur unvorstellbar wie überheblich die beiden da agieren.
Good advice ! I have entered the water in May. And I am still waiting the waves to chill. Fortunately I took my phone with me, so I can comment while waiting.
I surfed there a lot of times. Its hard to tell. I think realistic it can be you break some bone at the rock. Or you get knock out and drown. But thats very unlucky. Normally most of the time you dive somehow under or with the wave - like he did. Every wave brings more water, which is also protecting you from the rocks. The funny thing is: 200m down is a safety ladder at the harbourwall. You just paddle there you can get easy out. I used it one time 😅

Without a doubt, the one guy loved the other. Jumped in and tried to block wave. Must be his Dad. I'd do it for my sons.
Props to his friend that went back into the water to help is buddy. I know this is a old video, but it's right on time

Cheeee Yessah!
Heavy... dude was so disoriented that he went and sat on the killer wall 😳
Ещё и отмахивается
watching the lady in the bikini move the surfboard was even more painful than watching the guy stuck in the water.
IKR, I was worried for the board.
My first thought 😂
wtf? why? if a big wave strikes there the water could drag the board to the sea, your comment is painful

The waves are very powerful at Biarritz.
Just Saw The couple completely relaxed enjoying the show .... Insane

An accident is an unavoidable mishap
..."unavoidable" being the operative word
How did they escape the second hit?

Halt den Mund, di hast kein Ahnung Detuscher.
That couple in the left corner were AI robots.
Dude saved a life. 👏
0:55 WTF he goes and sits right there next to all the waves, maybe he's not the brightestperson around...
The immeasurable power of the sea is not a thing to be challenged lightly. It is not known as ‘the cruel sea’ for nothing.
Even if it takes 20+ mins. I always wonder why people don’t just wait, for when it’s calm water.
I’ve been there on a medium-sized day. It can be tough to get out.
I got stuck there once, just stay out until the waves chill.
Tu viens de Biarritz toi ? 😂
Good advice !

Was there any real danger at any time?

More recently, a surfer did die there. Today, there's a makeshift memorial not far from that spot. Sometimes it's just too dangerous to surf.
Why did you get out with your life, only to go sit in the danger zone. Some people just stoopid... 🙄
Dazed and confused from an injury maybe.
@@OrangeTabbyCat If you bold enough to do dumb shirt in the first place, you can't afford to be dumb when it goes wrong... he stoopid.

Après pour ces deux inconscients là vu les risques encourus tu peux dire qu'il y aurait pu y avoir une sélection naturelle.
Vu le commentaire il y aurait pu avoir une sélection naturelle si seulement maman l’avait avalé la coquine qu’3lle est celle la
on ne dira jamais assez .... la selection naturelle est une bonne chose

Oui

Пацаны, у меня сердце замерло..
Why would anyone want to surf on waves that are crashing into rocks?
It's not how it looked when they went in. Low tide - beach. High tide - rocks/concrete.
If only there could have been some way they could have been warned that they might get bounced off the rocks in rough weather.
Peut être prévoir de rentrer avant.. C, est un coin compliqué
These guys have no idea.
Des bons parisiens 🤣
@user-fl8wk4hq5uoui des locaux arrivistes de y’a 3 ans post Covid
After he gets out, the schmo goes and sits on the wall where the wave was break, not good survival instincts
Cote du Basque, als je te lang wacht om eruit te gaan als het vloed wordt dan krijg je dit....
Then went back and sat on the wall in almost the same place!!
Ocean too strong lidz😢
Shut it down, utterly ridiculous
Some just don't have the mind for it.
evitez le shorebreak c ontre 1 mur surtout
Now they learned something, MAYBE..
La Sra. que agarro la tablaaaaa 😮 cuidadooo
Es lo que tiene ser surfero.... que no se tiene ni puta idea del mar..
The ocean will beat the shit out of you.
Это ихний добровольный выбор.
Son unos insensantos , ponen su vida en riesgo y la de los demas si tienen que rescatarlos ya son mayorcitos para poner la vida en juego
Bin there, done that at Biarritz!
La gente se queda mirando sin hacer nada, ni pedir ayuda a otros, ni llamar al 911 o lo que sea
Esperemos que no vuelvan a hacerse los héroes
Des malins 😮
