Brian Greene I swear you just read my exact thoughts when I realized he was going to take at least two more on the head after the one that raining down and smothered him unbelievable dude is f****** insane on another level
Yes Monica indeed I never even saw him come up and he took at least three more right on top of the head after the one that wiped him out and chased him down and swallowed him he is on another level in another dimension
Give him huge credit for taking off on that bomb.... on a SKIMBOARD! He made the drop but just couldn’t get that little thing to turn. That’s commitment!!
mad respect to the water safety guys on the jet skis. braddahs taking care all the "ALL BALLS, NO BRAIN" guys out there. to work in that ain't day at the lake with Becky and the whiteclaw crew for sure.
@@FourFront99 Nah, not like everyone out there and not pushing boundaries. How can it be a sport with just one person doing it? There is a reason why you only see Brad doing this stuff and not any locals who surf there for a living. Who is he competing against in the sport of "getting towed in on a finless, super short board, until you run out of speed and the wave swallows you"? His ride at Puerto Escondido years ago put him on the radar bc he actually got barreled, but waves like Jaws and Mavs are different beasts than a huge shore break in mainland Mex.
I was going off the much-maligned Hawaiian measurement system. Y'know, where they describe a wave height in terms of the swell itself, rather than the height of the face.
Yeah totally a legend at jaws. We all praise him the minute he gets off the plane in kahalui to get towed into an unmakeable wave with a modified skimboard while wearing a floatation vest with a cord he can pull any second after not making a wave he knew he wasn't going to make. /s
I'd call that the worst wipeout you could possibly have. (at bottom of wave) That's exactly where NOT to fall. Glad they rescued him. Maybe he sacrificed his board, but not his life.
Definately an A+ for courage and effort, Brad, but that board you used at Puerto Escondido might have done better for you. The problem is the chops on the face at jaws, so having a really good fin set up on the board is imperative, if you take off deep like that on a gnarly windy day, and need to get your board to transverse the long massive tube and ride high enough not get picked off by the monstrous chandeliers falling from the massive incisor teeth in the lip. That's the hardest thing to do out there when it's big and windy, is break free fall and runaway freight car syndrome and hook into the wall against all odds at max speed, and run the gauntlet. However, if that swell had been during a dead glass spell, with no wind chop for weeks, jaws can get totally Malia as we say here, but it's very rare. But in those conditions, you might have been able to get a toe hold on it like you have done at huge Puerto, and this would have been a different story. But you are awesome for getting out there and laying it down and going for it. You lived and learned to fight another day.
@@JaysWave75 no I don't think so I don't know the man so I'm not going to claim my comment here but as I told someone else on here on another one of my comments these are the things that make these dudes feel alive it is food for their soul this dude doesn't strike me as someone with an ego he just happens to be from Florida which I am as well a native of West Palm Beach donkey was from further up north somewhere on East Central or Northeast Florida for him to conquer those kind of waves after growing up in Florida especially on a freaking skimboard again he's on another level...... all the big wave Surfers including the rescue skis all Restore Life on any of the big swell every day every time every session from Mavericks to Jaws to nazare..... the only real life he's risking is his on this specific day at jaws No Doubt
His balls pulled him back up to the surface. He's good. 🤣🤣🤣😂 jokes aside, that is some serious determination. Especially on a skimboard. 🤯 hell, I can even begin to imagine how trashed these dudes get in these Wipeouts. Truly "gnarly"
That is bc it is more of a stunt than actual surfing. I went to school with brad and he has always surfed very well, but skimboarded on a whole other level. He has paddled and towed Jaws on real boards but the skimboard stunt is like patterson skiing at maverick's-it's a novelty thing. There is no real functionality to riding a skimboard at jaws but its still cool to watch and I bet the ride felt great right before that beating by the rest of the set.
Don't get me wrong, Domke is a bad-ass dude who can surf some waves on that water-skipper. But being towed-in at Jaws is totally stupid. When people die doing stupid things, I don't feel bad.
If the conditions were a little cleaner with very little wind at all he would make idiots out of all of us he's an amazing individual he took a whole set on the head from what I could see he wasn't even wearing a vest with air cartridges..... goes inside jumps off the jet ski after he was rescued jumps off the jet ski in the Impact Zone on the shoreline where all the rocks are goes up fine to skimboard does back down through the Rocks jumps back into the Impact Zone paddles out enough to get to the ski wear the ski can get to him goes back out and charges again absolute Madman I give him mad props and respect...🏄♂️👊🔥👍🤸♂️🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

@@brendonmasters yeah that's a good question he's up true water man though he knows what he's doing any of these Elite Big Wave Riders could die at any given day I'm sure their wives have come to term with it by now how what do I know the biggest I've ever been in is double to Triple overhead and I was totally shiting beach sand at that LOL...😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁🤸♂️
Looks like classic “first to do it” syndrome. I really do applaud trailblazers, but please consider the safety of others. What about the safety crew and others you might be putting at risk. Just seems like it’s a lose- lose situation.
Don't really get why he keeps trying to ride large waves with a skimboard?! Next we will have someone riding a blowup raft, and another trying to ride a picnic table, and another trying to ride a snow sled, and another trying to ride whatever -- lame.

Note to self never take the first wave of a 3 wave set of bombs at Jaws on a skimboard
Hate it when that happens!
Brian Greene I swear you just read my exact thoughts when I realized he was going to take at least two more on the head after the one that raining down and smothered him unbelievable dude is f****** insane on another level
Should we check on him?
I was thinking the same thing
Noted
Balls: YES
Brains: can you repeat the question?
There are the skimboarders at the wedge and then there’s this guy
Same guy. He’s a common fixture there. Especially Cylinders.
Good heavens! It looked like the water just swallowed him up. Ferocious. That is one determined man!!
Yes Monica indeed I never even saw him come up and he took at least three more right on top of the head after the one that wiped him out and chased him down and swallowed him he is on another level in another dimension
@@curlysshuffle1157 FILLED WITH AWE!
Fk that
Driven by the need for social media content.
Holy shit...that ain’t Newport. Dude is seriously crazy.
Looks like he slided out on that one......hope he managed to get another one.....crazy af!
It's like when u first started surfing and u go straight. Now add 50ft zunami, very respectable Brad, bravery and bravo to you sand man.
bit tough to set that rail, i bet. is it a rail, or edge, w/ a skimboard...?
(hopefully, that's a one & done for 'ol brad.)
That slow mo was as beautiful a still shot as it was ferocious and terrifying.
Jaws almost bit his head off!!! Pay that man his money!!!
He needs his medication adjusted.
LOL hahahahahaha
Then he couldn't get thousands of kooks to praise his balls on social media.
And he goes back out like nothing....f’ beast mode everyone that day!
Sans board... Maybe body surf second one lol
Skimboard tow 25ft Jaws ?
Brilliant 🤔😳
He got axed and washed in about 3 football fields. But that's hero status
Unreal video angle of Jaws. Great work✌️
Give him huge credit for taking off on that bomb.... on a SKIMBOARD! He made the drop but just couldn’t get that little thing to turn. That’s commitment!!

Who thumbs down a video like this?
@Abu Dabu my sister called me Dabu (brother) when I was 2...lol. BTW, He's just that good man...I. bet Austin Keene will tow in there next.
My doctor recommended that I only do that on Tuesdays...
Not sure this is the place for having no fins. Mind you neither is Puerto on a big day.... ballsy
Next video: skimboarding down Everest, rather than using ski’s or a snowboard ;)
Actually, skimboarding Niagra Falls ;p
Watching from Southern California crazy huge 🤙
what the hell is he trying to prove anyway?
He's trying to push the boundaries of his sport. Like everyone out there.
he's proving that he's in psycho mode
Gonna go out on a limb and say he’s trying to prove you can skimboard massive Jaws 🤷🏼♂️
@@curtismann3649 yep and he failed miserably

I’m honestly surprised he didn’t try to turn up, he just earned a year long “king” status in the Skimboarding world.
craziest surfer on the planet
SMOOOKIFIED!!! BEEFS
Takes an extreme sport to a next level extreme!
How is he alive!
Domke is a BEAST !
Nah pretty sure you need to turn at Peahi
maybe a helmet and surfboard could work better 😜
Historic day🙏🏼🔥🔥🔥
Ah yes, that feeling when a 25 foot slab of death detonates 6 feet behind you.
25? Looks at least 50-60ft
I was going off the much-maligned Hawaiian measurement system. Y'know, where they describe a wave height in terms of the swell itself, rather than the height of the face.
Walking the thin line between dumb and stupid...
Wrong kook. Charging at the intersection of Preparation and Opportunity.
Legendary!!
If you havn't seen his wave at Puerto...? I suggest you you look.
What Curt - jet setted to Maui for this swell? Good on ya mate!
Respect brother!
Good definition for impact zone
Insane😳🏆
Death wish. What ya think is going to happen with all the offshore. Set a rail? Golly
Sick. Now I know why I stick to skimboarding on sand.
That is crazy 🤯
Legend status
Yeah totally a legend at jaws. We all praise him the minute he gets off the plane in kahalui to get towed into an unmakeable wave with a modified skimboard while wearing a floatation vest with a cord he can pull any second after not making a wave he knew he wasn't going to make. /s
Who knew a skimboard could hold that much balls....
Did he find the board ?
Holy crap!! That man crazy!! 😆
He got blown up. You need fins to make a bottom turn on that wave. He kept going straight.
I'd call that the worst wipeout you could possibly have. (at bottom of wave) That's exactly where NOT to fall. Glad they rescued him. Maybe he sacrificed his board, but not his life.
Beast.

He ate it in the worst possible spot 😳🤯
That takes some nads
Yeah Brad!!!
RESPECT
Balls? YES! Brains? The jury is still out.
Fun. Fun Fun to the max.
2:30 ... Darn, almost made it ... kinda sorta ....
Without fins this will happen almost every time
Ooouch!! Vaporized on Maui.
Brad cach a tow boar the next time and make that barrel!!!!
Perhaps a float toy? Just for the beating..
Baalllssss!!!!!!!
I'll be impressed when he catches the wave with a run in from shore.
Grande cojones Mr. Domke!
I woulda taken the last wave of the set... to each his own I guess.
thats a bold move cotton
LEGEND!!!
ยังดันต่อเนื่อง
OMFG!!!!!
crazy
What for? He even cannot make a turn on such wave.
He carved turns of giant Puerto, but the conditions were _way_ cleaner.
@@xyzct YUP!!!👍

Heading back out for another one? Glutton for punishment.
Jesus. Absolutely pulverized!
👏👏👏
It's hard to steer without fins....
Look Ma I made it to the bottom! Only to get steamrolled...
Ear drums ok? That was a direct hit.
LOL Tom yes indeed he got what my older son used to say when he was little... he got....SPLODED!!!!!!!
Holy Shit!
He is on meds, right??
Was he attempting a world record 👍
he accomplished one
I respect his guts, but isn't skim boarding massive waves kinda stupid? They don't produce enough speed or control to get ahead of the wave
That is bc it is more of a stunt than actual surfing. I went to school with brad and he has always surfed very well, but skimboarded on a whole other level.
