Those are crazy waves for Waikiki! Thanks for sharing! Awesome!
That was incredible. I love surfing big waves but in a 30ft canoe with a outrigger....I think not. You guys are the best and maybe the craziest.......keep pumping!
I love the turquoise color of those beautiful South Shore waves. Takes me back to the time I spent a month or so in Hawaii surfing south and north shore waves.
Incredible footage. Many years ago, I saw fifteen foot Castles break, right in front of me. When I got out to what i thought was the lineup, I turned around and could only see the tops of the buildings. No land, only the tops of the buildings. Caught a smaller wave, turned around and there it was. A fifteen foot set, roaring across the ocean. Got bulldozed a couple of time and went in. Afterwards, I was glad that I was not in the lineup when that came through. Was on a small wave board, totally unsuitable, but wouldn't have wanted to be near what I saw, once I realized what was happening out there. Absolutely beautiful and awe inspiring waves.
Funny almost same exact thing happened to me
@@mackie96744 Can easily see that situation occurring fairly commonly out there. You're way out there in the ocean.
@@LeeEisenstein In my case i scratched over the first smaller one, only to see a huge wave coming from way far out. I was paddling as hard as I could but knew I wasn't going to make it since I could see the lip feathering. It looked like a really powerful wave too. People say Castles isn't a steep wave but I swear this one was breaking top to bottom. As the lip was crashing down on me, I just took a deep breath, dove as deep as possible, and was lucky to pop out the back without being held down too long.
But definitely a once-in--a-lifetime experience.
"Was on a small wave board, totally unsuitable, but wouldn't have wanted to be near what I saw, once I realized what was happening out there." Funny you say that since even if I was in position for that bomb I wouldn't have paddled for it because it was just too big and gnarly.
@@mackie96744 Yep.
Incredible footage of these watermen handling some of the great challenges in their sport. Nothing but respect, well done guys.

I remember going surf Waikiki when i was like 14, im 50 now. It was huge just like this and being from the the North Shore we were stoked to surf it
Castle's broke in 1963. It was so big I paddled over from ala moana harbor. Was out 8 hours straight.. Caught biggest wave I ever surfed and free fell to the bottom. Woody Brown was paddling out and said, "Why, you do it kid?" Then he answered himself: "I know, for the thrill."
Love watching this... Kind of reminds me of sidecar dirt track racing I used to watch out at the old Corona Speedway in SoCal, Friends having fun, doing something that most single riders though was crazy, yet laughing and smiling the whole time. Keep it up. Hope you have more big waves ahead.
Those surfers dodging that canoe like a pedestrian dodging a car 😮
They almost nailed a surfer at 48 seconds.
This is great, reminds me of my childhood. I grew up in Kahala and me, my cousin and my uncle would do this at the outrigger in the 70s and early 80s. In fact, my cousins middle name is Ho'okele which means steerer of the canoe. We never saw days this big out there though.
Waikiki going off in December ?
Someone explain that to me please...
Insanely cool guys!!
Way to go!!
Awesome footage. Why don’t canoes have a balancer on the other side too?
love that aloha spirit!
Awesome tradition, keep it up 👍
Coolest canoe surfing I've ever seen. Charging!
Waikiki’s biggest swells are generally in the summer months.
Agree, May 2013 I recall a big swell lasted a week just as I arrived from down under WOOAAAH!!!
Mahalo awesome canoe surfing at its best ! When was this swell and event ?
crazy good. I want more
We had far bigger for at least a week in the summer of 1967. Brown's and Patterson's at DH was the place to be, though they were also 20 foot (old style) walls at Portlock Point, now called China Walls.
I really have to say Dat was the Best !!!!
Crazy cool. Big boy pants on, check. Breath holding exercises done, check. Call to the trusted, check. Let the fun times roll! 💪🏻🌊
Much respect from Minnesota. We could do this on lake Superior but we have to dodge ice chunks. 😅😉
When was this? We didn't have this size swell in the past 2 weeks. Great footage, though
I SUP surf and race outriggers in the ocean but I don't have the guts for this - respect and awe
May/June 2003 - which may have been a little cleaner - may be the last swell of this size. Those antennae on those building become pretty handy lining up on the mountains. Great footage
I got to surf the King Kamehameha Day swell in 95'. Believe it or not, it was actually a few feet bigger, Ala Moana Bowls was closed out. no boats could get out because there were 10ft sets breaking in the Ala Wai Yacht harbor channel. Waves were breaking beyond the furthest bouys out there. Hell, people paddled out and were getting barreled at Sand Island! Just insane. But no gopros or drones back then. so this footage is great to bring back memories.
@ ‘95 was definitely bigger
I knew Alika Winter. I used to work with him at Pure Platinum nightclub when I was a bouncer. We also used to train Kempo together. Shootz, this was back in the early 90's.
That’s Amazing
This epitomizes courage paddling out in a slow canoe and catching big waves ,not being towed out on a jetski and bragging about catching big waves ,these guys are the real deal
Respect!
Love it.
That’s da’ news, canoes!😂
This video is especially for Todd Pinder, Jim Gibson and Cliff Barber enjoy!!👍😊😎
That’s pumping, gee whiz 😳
what date? what year?
Constantly pushing the limits and see what we "canoe"...
Now that looks so much fun.Tony from australia
awesome
Props to the guys that stroke it out there.
what date was this swelll?
South Shore PUMPIN..
code red swells in waiks less go
Sure. There have been occasional bigger days here in (Ha ha) Florida. I remember some sets coming in at Jensen Beach and watching this older guy take off on his 10' SUP and the whole board is suspended in the face of the wave, he's standing and oar dragging in the face and the nose of the SUP has not reached the trough or bottom of the Face of the Wave and the tail of the SUP is below the lip. So yah.
But those deep blue sets don't come in often and most of us regular board folks are sitting inside more and just trying to either paddle up and through the wall before they break or just try to duck dive them and often just let our short boards go and the leash will pop them back to us.
But pretty to watch this big face form with a wall that is maybe a hundred plus years and it's really too big for these types of beach breaks, except when they break on some outer shoal in the bottom.
I think those canoes need foils. And like a 10m kite sail. And enclosed cockpits.
When was this?
Was this filmed in 2022?
one of the paddles looks like a Mitchell bent shaft carbon blade...
Hardest part about outrigger Conoe is telling your dad you’re gay.
You must be from Waianae. Still mad you can't afford a canoe? 😂
the Mahalo Missile!
Where is Bodhi, Utah !!!!
Never seen it so big
I think I surfed this wave if it’s the left outside diagonal sort of from Kaimana beach park. Caught it 6 feet with two friends and not gonna lie got beat up haha lifeguards came out on ski to check on us. Paddling back into shore took forevers. Ended up paddling down coast one big day and just ended up there by wild chance. The Wave was throwing tho this one looks crumbly
Scary.
3:10 that was a close call
Put me down for 'excuses'.
Wheres BRODIE!!
So heavy
u guys tryiing to destroy yurbodies...is like jumping out of a perfectly good airplane....
...one up☝️[canoe sail] one down👎[ mechanized crap watermen]
🤙❤️🤙
Cheating
What about surfers using jet skis to get towed into a wave? That is the ultimate cheating.
It's what you live for? That's a pretty shallow life sir..come on...
10 footers 15 footers maybe bigger if you’re lucky. Try 85-100 at Nazaré!!! 🫣🫣🫣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
