In situations like this, u r just a passenger: calm yourself, relax, hold your breath and don't fight cause the ocean is now in charge. One thing is 4 sure: that monstrous life vest that they wear is extremely necessary in these kind of waves, no way any human can fight their way to the surface, one time after another, in those heavy conditions.
Been on a few trips through the "washing machine" myself on much smaller waves, maybe 4 meters. I remember once getting caught inside, jumped off my board, swam to bottom and tried to cling to the sand like a limpet, got peeled off and rag-dolled around. So much sand in the water that it's pitch black, no way to know which way is up. Eardrums shoved in so deep that it felt like they were hitting my brain. Wow, what fun! You won't catch me out at Nazare. It scares me just to watch.
ttcherrick i started surfing first time in my life a few weeks ago. when i fell into my first larger 2m wave I was struck by the pressure and power. Thats where I kinda woke up and realized this is actually bloody dangerous, ...but super fun too. Whooo!
Biggest I ever surfed was 6-8 footers before and after hurricanes or noreasters in Va Beach VA. Any other time the surf there sucked but I remember that feeling you described where you can't see and don't know up from down. There's a few times I started swimming thinking I was heading for the surface only to smash into the sand. Then you finally hit the surface and get bashed again. Scary shit but I do miss it. Now I live vicariously through youtube surf videos lol.
These waves are absolutely mesmerizing... It amazes me the power in each set. Interesting how this spot only recently has been made popular to the average person. Great videos friend.
It's not popular to the "average person." These guys train seriously for Nazare. Was surfed for years by locals, but not at this size; much smaller. Only the advent of water craft and flotation vests has enabled the next level to emerge.
@@jamesbadham228 I am not calling the surfers who surf this spot average. I am saying the average person now knows Nazare exists. What this guys is doing is far from average.
@@401sFinest even though James misunderstood what you meant, the answer is still right, people only surfed this size at Nazare when surfers and life vests got better at their jobs
Also: love the long look back at the ocean at the end by Cunningham. Can't tell if he's saying "F*** you, Ocean, for trying to kill me!" or "Thank you, Ocean, for not killing me!" I realize it was also a quick glass for his board before he thought, "no way I'll see that thing before it washes up!"
this gives me anxiety just imagining how much power those waves must have, surfing it is no joke at all. remembering my worst wipeouts with waves much much smaller than this and nahhh i'd never surf that
What happens with the board during these situations? The board seemed to follow him. It was seemingly tombstoning on its own, near end of vid. I doubt there is a leash on the thing. He gets on the ski and leaves the board behind.
Been caught in much smaller wave sets and it can get exhausting. Must seem like enternities between these sets and looking for the ski. Way to stay alive!
Is there a 'safe' or 'safer' position to have your arms and legs, when in the washing machine of the white wash? I imagine cover your head, but anything else?
😱🤯 good skills with the drones, gives a better insight to what a surfer goes through. He pops up faster than I thought. 🤮been held down before it’s scary stuff when you don’t know what way is up a few seconds after you’re past your breath allowance
Swings his arms in the air in absolute joy without one single effin' care thinkin' he discovered the greatest most amazing jacuzzi in the whole damn world... THAT is tough.. lol
@@jamessantry5981 I saw a video the other day where Laird Hamilton said they can't paddle out that far, so they use the jet skis to get out far enough to catch the really big waves.
How does the Person on the JetSki know where to find them, do they just look for them or is their someone on a hill or with a DRONE in radio contact with the Person on the JetSki?
I used to think I could easily outlast waves cause of how long I could tread water and hold my breath in a pool, till I swam in the ocean and realized how quick the currents tire you out, man I barely made it back to shore thought I was going to drown from exhaustion and the waves kept pulling me under
pickle fork N wiggles for sure! I lost track of him and started worrying a little 😳 then saw him laughing his ass off and felt MUCH better! Toby is a pretty funny guy!
The first Jet ski should have picked that guy. The jet ski wasn't timing correct no risk taking. The jetskis if they miss pickup should rush to the shoulder and swing in for fast pickup.
He is lucky to be alive. Hope he decides one day soon, this thrill ride isn’t worth your life... once you have kids, your death wish fades... gl and keep on surfing gnar.
How can he float with balls that heavy
Saucy Lobster bahaha!! Best question ever! 🤣
thats the reason theyve got to be towed in :D cant accelerate the weight of those massive balls to the speed of these waves :D
They help him float
with a life jacket
That's why canisters vest were invented...
cool as a cucumber, only thing on his mind is....where the hell is my board, I need to get back on it
Haha. Yeah. When I first filmed Nazaré, I thought big wave surfers are tethered to their boards.
I was wondering if they ever get their boards back!
When I fall the first thing I worry about is my board, i paid for that shit

"She"
Fact!
100% right!
Adam Green are you really assuming the oceans gender
The ocean is a she, you need to hang with more pirates.

honestly man
are these good waves to learn on? thanks :)))
Definitely! Tell us all how it turns out.
Yeah me and my gran found these ok... a little on the small side though
Asking for a friend?
the alleys he cant he died
Of course just remember to take a bit bigger board like 7' to 8' and maybe try first with the Australian popup.

@@Temax6 yea for sure. I think Shane Dorian come up with the CO2 cartridges in the vest and its been all improvements from there.

ttcherrick haha a little of both I’m sure, all stoke at the end!
or looking to jet skis and giving universal in water sign for OK.
@@danturner3856 You're right, it's also a "thank you" to the PWC's, though it looks like he can't pick them out of all that monstrous foam.
Tahnks ocean for not killing me ? Mf , he was helped to get out of the waves
Crazy. Even the last wave to hit him on the shore looked brutal. Epic vid.
Thank god for the vests, and training, and jetski opps, and drone assist!
this gives me anxiety just imagining how much power those waves must have, surfing it is no joke at all. remembering my worst wipeouts with waves much much smaller than this and nahhh i'd never surf that
Breathtaking footage. Luckily he had time to breath in between the six waves
I like all of your videos Stevie, keep'em coming brother!!!
Bruce516 yew thanks Bruce! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Love the "Jetski - Drone" team.
First they encourage a surfer to go there and get his ass kicked, and then work together to rescue him.
I can't even take six beers to the head.
Hahahaha!
Haha!!!
Stay_at_home_Dad_here....you do realize that's not what beers are for don't you ??
@@cspace1234nz you got lost in translation.
@@xZOOMORPHICx ....yeah, no I didn't acually.
Great drone footage and piloting skills, thought it was almost lost at the start.
Insane footage!!! Very cool...
B Smith yew!!! 😎
I like how even tho its been a few waves he moves his arms in a playfull way so the rescuers know he is alright and dont push the risk
Not sure he was playing those movements mean something.
@@ocvegasproperty thats exatly what i said lol, “to let them know that he is alright” it means “i am alright” lol did you only read playfull?
Toby is such a badass. So cool to see how he handled that situation and thanks @jacuzzisurfer for filming it. Great job 👍🏻
How did he handle it besides floating there until he got picked in and taken to shore?
I’d be dead.

Nothing short of epic
Legend. You bloody legend.
This drone pilot is awesome!
Dusty Montgomery hey thanks Dusty!

Is that an alien or drone flying into the shot at 1:23?
😱🤯 good skills with the drones, gives a better insight to what a surfer goes through. He pops up faster than I thought. 🤮been held down before it’s scary stuff when you don’t know what way is up a few seconds after you’re past your breath allowance
Pat D he was pulled all over by the current! I can’t imagine how that felt! So gnarly!
Swings his arms in the air in absolute joy without one single effin' care thinkin' he discovered the greatest most amazing jacuzzi in the whole damn world... THAT is tough.. lol
1:53 is that the nose of a board or a shark fin on the left
In Portugal there are no sharks on the beach.
What did surfers do before those rescue machine things. ?
They didn't surf the enormous mountains of water that they do now! Before jetski rescue they would never dream of paddling out in such huge waves!
@@jamessantry5981 I saw a video the other day where Laird Hamilton said they can't paddle out that far, so they use the jet skis to get out far enough to catch the really big waves.
@@lisagd22 at jaws they paddle out to it, don't know about nazare though
@@alexhumphrys1065 In the Nazare videos I've watched, they take the surfers out on jet skis. Those videos are wild and scary!
is this the real audio? because wouldnt you just hear the drone noise?
What type of hair product is he using? because zooming in on the still looks like he still has the hair working.
Haha!
ever any 2 wave holdowns ?
He is as lucky as he is brave. Scary footage
That was amazing
Holy crap! Nazare canyon!
TOBY is a madman
Question: if the drone pilot can see him, why not fly over the jet ski and lead him to the surfer?
Great video as usual!
Jerwin Pasco yew thanks Jerwin!
Why did his board appear to be tombstoning???
Big waves
Please don't comment "He has very heavy balls. How can he even float?" That comment is f*cking boring!
How does the Person on the JetSki know where to find them, do they just look for them or is their someone on a hill or with a DRONE in radio contact with the Person on the JetSki?
The man of jetski carry a radio and there is a man on hill supplying instructions.
Savage! Most people would have been dead by the 3rd wave or of even sooner. These guys are so good at Harnessing stress.
Yea I know I would have! All that training experience was put to the test that day! 🤯
Lalo Hernandez I died twice just watching the first wave!
2:13 WAS THAT A SHARK TO THE LEFT
not as Wavey as my last acid trip
GLEVUM REX 🤪
Anybody noticed the fin poping out at 2:13? Thay freaked me out
Even his surf board is having a hard time surfacing through all that foam. (It's not a shark)
That’s what I guessed was that it was his board. It’s amazing how he managed to dislodge it from his rectum so quickly!😳
@@certaindiaster59 wtf lmfao
Impresionante quien dijo que en el infierno solo hay llamas .Enhorabuena a este surfista a desafiado al oceano y ha salido victorioso .Bravo
Unreal
Yes, People! The best is relax right away - for a minite feel like you in your mother sleeping back again. Keeps energy, bones and saves your life.
Definitely a lil intense but 6 to the head?!
3:20 that last sweep is the best and worst
how to they find his board
ザッくんS. Haha it got swept 1/2 a mile north of where the video ends!
I would have guessed it got wedged in his... It was found a little later.
I used to think I could easily outlast waves cause of how long I could tread water and hold my breath in a pool, till I swam in the ocean and realized how quick the currents tire you out, man I barely made it back to shore thought I was going to drown from exhaustion and the waves kept pulling me under
1:53 is that a shark??? 😱😱😱
Craziest rip current ever. Faster than most rivers.
Holy Cow!
I got worked being caught inside on a 6ft. North swell here in Florida. So I don't think surfing Nazare' is really something I'm ready for.
O trabalho dos pilotos de jet ski é heróico.
Staying calm is key for sure!
pickle fork N wiggles for sure! I lost track of him and started worrying a little 😳 then saw him laughing his ass off and felt MUCH better! Toby is a pretty funny guy!
Was he a beginner surfer...:).!
He’s chilling 🤣
15 seconds of fun 🤗 & 4 minutes of almost drowning. 😨 🤕
That’s way too gnarly
That is terrifying
Champ!!!!
by the time the jetski got to him he was practically back on the beach
Depends on if he gets hit or not.
OMG six waves!I can"t believe!
Lidia Szlapa I know! So crazy!
Fuckin awesome. Great video!!!!
Most important, dude is safe.
Have the drone hover over the person until he’s found
hah...lookin for his board at the end.
Did he just catch the first wave 😨
The first Jet ski should have picked that guy. The jet ski wasn't timing correct no risk taking. The jetskis if they miss pickup should rush to the shoulder and swing in for fast pickup.
Big lungs! Dabs up!
*Not that long* 😵
He is lucky to be alive. Hope he decides one day soon, this thrill ride isn’t worth your life... once you have kids, your death wish fades... gl and keep on surfing gnar.
Ten footers smash me! Trick is to go for depth as you have this this thunder over you.
2:10 looks like a shark but probably just his board
I'm thinking it's his board. I don't think sharks even mess around in that. lol.
hes dipping.
No fear surfing..
Is it just me or did it look like the jet ski could have nabbed him the first time but didn't get close enough.
Love getting stuck in the impact zone
Awesome drone footage, but how did he keep under with that buoyancy aid on, maybe his balls of steel weighed him down 😂🤙🏽
Did any one see the shark at 1.50
In Portugal there are no sharks on the beach
Thankfully he had some full canisters
Why dont big wave surfers take a small cannister of oxygen with them....?? Surely it would make things much much less dangerous?
the massage cant get any tougher unless you enjoy being rolled over by a tank
🙂👍🏻
Damn
That's f n crazy..
@ChakRaLight freakishly neurotic
holy fuck thats scary
All part of the game just gasp and stay calm go limp when you got anything over 25ft youlll float back up !
im sure you've surfed waves over 25 ft
That is horrifying
This guy must have lungs of iron
His longest hold down was 16 seconds.
How does he even surf with balls that big?
Until Dagon will come for you ';...;'
It always seems like such a good idea until you wind up dead....
Ocean is fucking scary
damn
