Nah, surfing ability and talent grows exponentially over time from generation to generation. What the crew these days are doing is way gnarlier than what crew were doing 10+ years ago. Especially backhand tube riding, airs and big wave surfing...Have a look at what the lady birds are doing, they are what 12 or 13. Smacking the lip and boosting airs way harder than the women's CT surfers. Also, getting way more barreled over in Indo, supreme technique. Edit: bigger personalities for sure though ☺️
I sat watching this break in about feb 2007 when travelling alone. There was nobody there and it was well overhead. After half an hour I removed my leash and boots, and walked away. Good decision!
Sem dúvida um dos campeonatos mais duros da história do WCT, e o Andy Irons, p/ quem sabe os detalhes dessa estadia dele no Chile, provou que era muito mais que um simples atleta da elite, era muito mais que um tricampeão mundial...o cara era bravo mesmo!👏👏👏🏆🙏
@@Dill_dough20 Watch the documentary Andy Irons 'Kissed by God' It's about his life. It's really heartbreaking to see what happened to Andy, but you'll be shocked by the story of this particular contest and just how off his head he was the whole time. They literally dragged him straight away from the contest after his win, in a car because he was in such a bad drug-induced state. He was still surfing amazing, but not in a state to be seen by the public or speak to a camera! Really bloody sad!!
It's amazing to see the kind of composure Andy Irons had in the water. A lot of these newer surfers train and work their bodies out eat healthy everyday of the week. This guy partied like there was no tomorrow and still would beat anyone any day of the week. Guys like Kelly Slater who embody how the new generation trains probably hated his guts for the fact that he'd show up to the competition hungover and still surf better than you.
@@cwalt74 Surfing is going to go where the money supports it. Where fans come out to watch and pay. Where sponsors give money to have events. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. It's a business. And it's a business that can provide the best young contest type surfers with a living that they would never have in any kind of normal life. It's totally naive to think that contests should be about the "best wave" or "best place". If people in those areas don't support by sponsoring or coming out to pay and watch, then that's their own fault.
El Gringo. It’s in Arica, Chile. The Chilean pipeline. No need to keep it secret. It’s a mission to get to. It’s pretty remote. And extremely gnarly and intense. Mostly a bodyboarders haunt for obvious reasons. You definitely need to be at least a little bit crazy to surf it. And obviously it’s for experts only. Boards and bodies get broken there every time there’s a swell. Crazy wave
WSL , PLEASE DO NOT CLAIM THIS AS ONE OF YOUR COMPETITIONS . DIRK ZIFF DID'NT EVEN KNOW WHAT SURFING WAS IN 2007 . THIS COMPETITION WAS SANCTIONED UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE ASP (ASSOCIATION OF SURFING PROFESSIONALS ) , KNOW YOUR SURF HISTORY FOLKS .

First
🥇
The one at the start with the massive gnarly spit
Leonardo never first wave
It was so gnarly
It’ll be remembered for the event Andy won dialled off his brain!!
And on 80 mg OCs... Andy will be remembered as a bad ass dude who did things to the extreme and lived life as an artist, the ocean his medium...
That's why this wave's know as "The Chilean Pipeline" 🇨🇱
Andy was ripping!!
Bobby got the best barrels of the event!
Arica and México search, such incredible places, hope on the next vault be the Pipe Masters 2006
Chile best waves in south América for sure!!!!
WSL needs to get this wave back on Tour
Did u just miss the guy on a stretcher
@@kieranmurphy5101 What, and that can't happen at pipeline?
@@kieranmurphy5101 lack of money, support and viewership there.
These pros were way gnarlier to surf against then these pros nowa days..Intense group back then

@@bh2861 nobody is boosting airs of that end section at that left. if youve been there you know.
World Surf League please post one of these recap videos of the Rip Curl search in San Francisco !!!

Great re-cap! How about some more search events! We love em!
The WSL needs to put back Chile again!!!
Great to see footage of Dingo, Bobby, and Andy!
SOO CLASSIC! SICKEST TIMES!!
In hindsight Chris Ward riding on a 5'5 19 1/4 on those waves is kinda insane
Andy was in another level🔥🔥🔥
Such a Sick event! Love the old-generation.. RIP AI
i swear the waves were firing the whole contest!! now days theres normally a couple of crappy days.

Rip bradda Andy
Meds to calm the nerves.

@@Dill_dough20 I'm pretty sure his bro said he was in Andy Irons: Kissed by God. If you haven't seen it, you. should watch it!
@@Dill_dough20 Bruce says so in the documentary, he won this contest dialed on cocaine and pills. The documentary is awesome, check it out.
All my mates that went on chile trips say it was the scariest by far and those are "all in" guys with some kind of a subconciuos deathwish
Yip totally

i wish andy would have won a 4th title
he should have
Jeeah that slab looks heavy !

Thanks for the positivity!
Amazing stuff! The wipeouts in the first few minutes were barbaric.
The WSL need to hold more contests in waves like this for the men and women

Bobby before he went scorched earth on competitive surfing 😂
Bobby is up there with the greatest goofy footers of all time! Regardless of his feelings about the ASP 😂
and now there's no fiji pro or trestles, Bobby was correct in many ways ...

El Gringo. The Chilean pipeline. Arica, Chile
I really don’t get how this spot hasn’t been relevant in surfing mainstream media since.
Arica siempre Arica!!
that last waves from Andy was just ..... !!!
It's Arica, not just "a chilean slab" ! Respect bodyboarders spots pls :)
👊
Bodyboarding🤮
Crazy Times . Chile they don't let Surf .Empty Sweel after sweel .

THE PEOPLES CHAMP!!
AI FOREVER ❤️
bodyboarders boss arica for a long long time in much more dramatic conditions
Yeah, but on body boards ....
Exactly.. allow us to surf better waves.
El Gringo should really be left to the bodyboarders. It’s a pretty mental place to surf. Definitely a boog wave really🤙🏻
Victor Ribas is still sitting
Should be a yearly stop.
He won that contest so F*D up
Go check sending it kiwi styles channel
Medina would rip this wave
Le buena ola 😅
Good
SOO GOOD!
Yeah good waves
