For you foreigners who are wondering why he's on his knees, he's using a surf life saving board that Australian beach lifeguards use, it's designed for you to use your knees and they are really nice too paddle on. It's not impossible to stand up on but it's not recommended
Pretty intense how big wave surfers use water and breath holding training that militaries use on their most elite forces. These surfers do all that just so they can ride a wave. Truly admirable they put so much effort into their passion. They also show amazing respect for water.
Surferskater Fanatic It is not a kneel board it is called a clubbie board or rescue board it is what life savers use they have knee pads on it but are not 100% made for knee use you can paddle and arch waves on your belly if you want but not these waves
Did anyone else notice that the wave he "made" was neither a set wave nor was well covered by the video cameras? Like it wasn't worthy, but lent itself to the meta message of the snack bar video theme. I give him credit not on making that wave, but on the one he didn't make.
I am so stocked right now. Injured ten years ago skating, a divorce, and struggling to become successful. I started going back to the water. My body is going through a lot muscular pain. I am training for winter. I want that wave! I miss home in the water and doing my thing on the line up. I can't wait for my big session, but I want to do it right. To all the fellas, keep surfing. As my native people would say: "Las olas son Pura Vida!" Surfing makes me exceptional man.
This reminds me of Dean Mercer taking on HUGE Sandon Point, right out off the Blue hole, on his clubby board after paddling a couple of kms from Thirroul beach . That guy was nuts.
Nazares, while huge seems to break at the top and more of a roller. Most I mean,I have seen some nice barrels on videos,but most just peak at the top. Either way I wouldn't be even thinking of trying both
@The Good Guy yes, for trying and living his dream. If they filmed more, say for the next couple of months, they would see total improvement. It shows others that the goal is not out of reach for anyone.
4:41 when he surfaced I would've been a lot more out of breath than that lol Either he's ridiculously fit or they weren't actually wrestling that long, probably both
What you guys need is a compressed scuba air cartridge. You have vests with a carbon dioxide cartridge that will inflate pockets in the vest when you pull the tab. Use breathable air to inflate a pocket, with a tube hooked up to the inflated pocket, pull that tube to open the "out" or air escape valve, and breathe. One good breath could make things a lot more comfortable while you're held under.
that would be quite dangerous IMO... the changing water pressure with depth and velocity in and around the wave could result in lung over-expansion. Ie, if a full breath was taken at 3m depth and the surfer then floated to the surface, the air volume would increase by 30%. Ruptured lungs are not a good time!
@@tassiefreedivers4024 --- At least one person read my comment! From what I have gathered about scuba, 3m or 9ft is not going to make an appreciable difference in lung pressure, and breathe can be exhaled on ascent if it's uncomfortable. I'm not suggestion a direct intake of compressed breathable air from a cartridge (that might blow out a lung), just a tube to an uncompressed air pocket in the vest a surfer caught under a wave could take a suck from, good for another minute. A problem would be getting hold of it while getting rolled and smashed, but a hand close to the chest, and with the strength of a surfer, it's not impossible.
@@davesmith5656 i see where you're coming from - the issue with that is that at even at 3m the air will expand by ~30% volume by the time the surfer reaches the surface. And you can't really feel lung overexpansion - when it happens you usually don't even realise until blood starts coming out of your mouth and you feel sick. And when being thrashed about underwater it may be easy to forget to exhale, or not tp take a full breath in the first place...
@@tassiefreedivers4024--- I think I see your point. If someone takes a breath on the surface, dives to 3m, and surfaces, the air in his lungs is still at surface level compression. A breath taken at 3m depth would be at a higher compression. But how do scuba divers handle their compressed air, when surfacing? (To be humorous, "Just take a half of a breath", as you stated. I'm not expecting you to take time to go into an explanation of scuba science. I see what you're saying.) I just thought that if someone is literally dying for air ... heck, I'd breathe sewer-smelling air, and worry about after-effects later. The guy who got caught under by three successive waves (at Nazare, IIRC) did survive, but he was coughing up blood when they finally managed to rescue him floating to the surface. I think it was the trauma / stress of will negating the body's mandate to inhale, that tore lung tissue, maybe the vacuum effect caused by the diaphragm. Emergency medical got him stabilized.
I had eaten some medicated pecan pie about 45 minutes before I started watching this. Came to and thought I was watching a paralyzed man surfing shipsterns but it was just a kneeboarder in a kayak
Everyone in the USA who swims competitively in the USA or at least on my team does breath training. We con hold for 2:00 and swim 50 yards (45m) underwater.
At first I thought this guy was going to Kayak Shippies and I got really excited. Then I realized he was a Kneeboarder. LOL! The best part was how hyped this was.. I thought at least with all the training and cinematic music he was going to surf big shippies only to fast forward with him surfing an average wave.
Um... That wave is big it’s a knee board so you are not suppose to stand up that’s why there this thing invented called a surf board made to make you stand up.
Not just fitness but breath hold training. That’ll bring you back to reality. Oh I’m in shape Can you hold your breath? Yup Have you practiced? Yup Have you taken training? Wait. What?
Oh yeah.... I’ve been training to ride a rogue wave in the North Sea. I let me buddy hit me with his car so I could get used to worst possible thing that could happen to me.
He did the impossible.. he ate a Nutri-Grain bar without gagging.. what a hero
6:42 thank me later.
6:45
Its Olivia I was the 100th like #satisfying
Thanks
Its Olivia Not all heroes wear capes! Thank you!
Thank u
Shoutout to the filmmakers for going out in the waves
Haha it might be drones though I’m not sure but I think your right props to them 😂😂😂
It was drones and telephoto lenses they weren’t into the water
are we not gonna talk about how he almost got ran over by the jet ski💀💀
@Benjamin Goodlich what if he old what he was doing?
Time stamp?
That was beautiful driving, gotta get as close as possible to get em out fast.
No.
The wave is thicc af
Next thing will be poopies waterskiing it
Jake Lawrance in a speedo lol
Job and the boys on the supsquach
Poopies would do that
Poopies would do it naked on a polyurethane foam bogie board!!!
Aw yes
Props to the guy that built the board absolutely insane
The whole challenge is doing it on a clubbie board NOT SURFING IT
It’s still impressive
For you foreigners who are wondering why he's on his knees, he's using a surf life saving board that Australian beach lifeguards use, it's designed for you to use your knees and they are really nice too paddle on. It's not impossible to stand up on but it's not recommended
Wow!, As he stood up on that first wave I was totally suprised how incredibly short his legs were for a guy his size
lol
This is from the movie _Pointless Break_
Really? I love this movie
Lmao
Hahaha, best comment!
Great stuff. Couldn’t imagine being on a big heavy rescue board and paddling into one of these.
Pretty intense how big wave surfers use water and breath holding training that militaries use on their most elite forces. These surfers do all that just so they can ride a wave. Truly admirable they put so much effort into their passion. They also show amazing respect for water.
His board is a kneel board he isn’t supposed to stand up
Surferskater Fanatic It is not a kneel board it is called a clubbie board or rescue board it is what life savers use they have knee pads on it but are not 100% made for knee use you can paddle and arch waves on your belly if you want but not these waves
U can stand up on it have u done slsc before?
This makes me anxious and I'm not even there
And how about now?

6:59 "it was at this moment, Matt knew he f**ked up"
Respect earned for thowing yourself over the ledge. It's not easy.
Did anyone else notice that the wave he "made" was neither a set wave nor was well covered by the video cameras? Like it wasn't worthy, but lent itself to the meta message of the snack bar video theme. I give him credit not on making that wave, but on the one he didn't make.
agreed 100%
He is using lifesaving board aka a mal. When using these boards and competing on them you are meant to be ok knees or stomach. IT IS NOT SURFING
Lucinda_ Josephine it’s not a mal lol
It’s not a mal
Im just wondering what is Azza doing there.
They need you back at Bondi.
That board is a canoe 🛶. Making the nose dive. Great job!
After facing Tony soprano he’s gotta face this wave too? 😂
what an inspiration... mind blowing
I am so stocked right now. Injured ten years ago skating, a divorce, and struggling to become successful. I started going back to the water. My body is going through a lot muscular pain. I am training for winter. I want that wave! I miss home in the water and doing my thing on the line up. I can't wait for my big session, but I want to do it right. To all the fellas, keep surfing. As my native people would say: "Las olas son Pura Vida!" Surfing makes me exceptional man.
bevilacqua--> ''bevi l'acqua'' in italian means "drink water" That's such a coincidence
Stavo per scriverlo io hahahaha
If he learned to surf, he could absorb the chop with his legs. That dramatic music is cornball.
JAJAJAJAJAJA He is a surf lifesaving Ironman, he has much more strength in his legs than a surfer
Anxo Lopez he wasted it by going on his KnEeS
Insanely awesome.
Well done young man👊🏼🤙🏼
Great vid... thumbs up.
Wow he's really changed since his Sopranos days
This reminds me of Dean Mercer taking on HUGE Sandon Point, right out off the Blue hole, on his clubby board after paddling a couple of kms from Thirroul beach . That guy was nuts.
Hahaha thirroul s less than a kilometre from sandon point, but I’m sure when your arms are burning it seems like 10km
Yeah boys!
Amazing footage, What a great role model for the sport.
What a legend mate
I was expecting a bigger break but it was still good.
Even just the under water practice gives me anxiety
legend
Idc how you rode this wave you have my respect
this is silliness
When ever I watch videos of swimming or anything that has to do with the ocean . I sometimes forget to breathe
This manz is crazy.
Real Brave Guys Out Der...
Is no one going to talk about how "bevilacqua" (bevi l'acqua) literally means "you drink water" in italian?
So inspirational FTC
Brilliant
his brother and him are amazing !!!!!! his bro is a bondi lifeguard!!!!!!!
Imagine seeing a shark in the wave and then you get eaten
Awesome and funtastic no words how mind-blowing is ..........wow.....only n only
Sick
Create Vorticies in the surface of the board so air pockets and vacums reduce drag like the fur on a seals coat and the board will reduce its drag.
It's super impressive, but still it wasn't even a particularly big day for Shippies, no step or anything
Just a Usual day in Australia
Nazare: hold my beer
Nah this wave is harder cause of the steps, freezing water, and cliffs. Nazare is just the size, and its not even that steep
Nazares, while huge seems to break at the top and more of a roller. Most I mean,I have seen some nice barrels on videos,but most just peak at the top. Either way I wouldn't be even thinking of trying both
ITS A KNEEL BOARD !
What an absolute legend
Ur name is sick
The Good Guy a wave you would be dreaming about.
@The Good Guy yes, for trying and living his dream. If they filmed more, say for the next couple of months, they would see total improvement. It shows others that the goal is not out of reach for anyone.
This man was basically using a kiake
i'm from morocco very nice vidéo
Yo this guy taught me in maths today. Asked him for a nutrigrain bar, he said he'll think about it.
oh same, he also taught me maths today
@@jufu925 I aint joking bro. He works in my school when he cant go do this stuff
So confused when they were stoked and he rode it on his knees lol
4:41 when he surfaced I would've been a lot more out of breath than that lol
Either he's ridiculously fit or they weren't actually wrestling that long, probably both
I wouldn't have come up breathing.
you did watch the whole video? he's a ironman champ. i'd say hes more fit then the average human
It doesn't take very long for you to recover only around 5 breaths
I'm out of breath by just watching him being held under water
that is so beautiful...
That bowl cut when he wa little tho
He never had the makings of a varsity athlete

shout out to the jet ski guys and film makers for going out there
Up in the club.
Another add for Nutrigrain. You forgot the bit about lighting your own farts.
How can he hold his breath for so long
More like a tsunami than a wave 😂🤭
why do people compare a big wave to a tsunami they are different comparing a wave to a tsunami is like comparing a bike to a big truck
RoadKillzine he was obviously joking you just take everything to seriously like calm tf down
woahhh why’s everyone coming at me. i obviously know what a tsunami is, i’m just commenting on how big the wave is. chill
Eleanor Moran Tsunamis aren't big; they're just powerful. The vast majority of tsunamis are only 5-6 feet tall.
To be fair the were no steps or anything at all so it wasn’t as hard as normally but still got respect for him
The jet ski driver is awesome. I thought he was going to hit him 7:24.
I had eaten some medicated pecan pie about 45 minutes before I started watching this. Came to and thought I was watching a paralyzed man surfing shipsterns but it was just a kneeboarder in a kayak
Past my time. Maybe on the next go.Best wishes! 🙏🏽
Oh my #!*$ that is a monster O.O
Search for people surfing Nazare, this stuff is weak compared to that
Eddie would be embarrassed
shoulder hoppin
nutrigrain ads have evolved from being off topic to not even mentioning granola bars
matt bevilacqua is the dude from Sopranos
Everyone in the USA who swims competitively in the USA or at least on my team does breath training. We con hold for 2:00 and swim 50 yards (45m) underwater.
4:01 that southport swimming eclosure and that is really deep ike deeper than you think
hey, he was my substitute teacher today
The human body is so freaking beautiful
Yo is this Joel’s brother 😂 also this is sick
This really inspired me. Today I had a bong and went to the dole office. I made it. Dreams can happen.
Are we gonna ignore the fact that this kid survived multiple gunshots to the chest?
Shippys may be heavy , but if your'e Tasmanian, there's been bigger days at park beach!
wow
Didn’t even get barreled, didn’t even stand up.... why is this such a big deal lol
Incorrect the waves here are very big and u have got to have huge gonads to go out there he is only like 18 - 20
At first I thought this guy was going to Kayak Shippies and I got really excited. Then I realized he was a Kneeboarder. LOL!
The best part was how hyped this was.. I thought at least with all the training and cinematic music he was going to surf big shippies only to fast forward with him surfing an average wave.
your not suppose to stand up its knee surfing
Um... That wave is big it’s a knee board so you are not suppose to stand up that’s why there this thing invented called a surf board made to make you stand up.
Leila McCormack YASS GURL YASS SOMEONE AGREES WITH ME
Bevilacqua in italian means “drink the water” 😂
CHILL AUSTRALIA
Not just fitness but breath hold training.
That’ll bring you back to reality.
Oh I’m in shape
Can you hold your breath?
Yup
Have you practiced?
Yup
Have you taken training?
Wait. What?
Honestly....how do you survive this wave?
Nice job Wow
Why is the audio not upside down? I thought you were in Australia
Oh yeah.... I’ve been training to ride a rogue wave in the North Sea. I let me buddy hit me with his car so I could get used to worst possible thing that could happen to me.
Is that one of Uncle Junior's surfboards?
Waves in crashing in the barrel of a wave. That’s something
Is he the same dude from the Sopranos?
Christian Alexander the Great yes
This gave me anxiety
😂
That trim at 1:17
Second wave took off way further down the shoulder. Wasn’t even over reef.
