I’m almost positive that I’m in this video! I’m pretty sure that’s my car driving by Kahului Beach Road as those jet skis are being put in the water. After 35 years of windsurfing, that’s about as close as us mortals will ever get to riding those waves. This footage was incredible. I gasped as that windsurfer gut sucked under. I can’t imagine how terrifying that must be.
Great footage,as an old surfer... ( With plenty of experience getting the S**T kicked out of me in the washing machine) have never heard the whole surfing thing explained better... The feeling is often so intense that words can seem not enough... No other experience can match it... And Big Brass Ones are essential.
I would love to see an imax version of this, especially a water level shot. Some of the waves didn't look real at first viewing, they were so enormous.
Ian sounds like a physicist or engineer when he speaks. Very analytical. No surprise that he's such a successful big wave surfer. Cheers to u brother 🤙
About 6:48 in, the camera angle for the wave ridden by Ridge Lenny gives one of the best views of just how huge the waves are. For a moment, It literally did not look real.
One of the Best vids ever, God the waves are ball tearers, the surfing is beyond next level, naration is so perfect, thank God U all got home, what a brotherhood, the ultimate. Thanks Ian & crew, epic 🤯😃👍🇦🇺
EPIC waves & surfers!!! I like the way he explained what it was like to be on a wave and the feeling....as best you can without actually riding it. INCREDIBLE!!
I was there in 01/2014, never seen waves like that. It was after a storm. The news said the waves were at least 50 ft. There was a helicopter circling and quite a few men on jet skies to help the surfers. I thought 10 ft waves on Lake Erie were huge, but this was amazing. Glad I was on Maui then, once in a life time event for me.
Major props to Justine Dupont, not sure if she was the only girl charging, but her barrel at 3:53 was mental! I honestly didn't think she was going to make that
I want to hear a full interview with the guy who went over the falls backwards on that bomb.....and the windsurfer who stepped off at the bottom of the same bomb. When I first saw it in January.....It gave me nightmares. I thought the tow surfer was going to end up a sail-wrapped death burrito falling onto that windsurf sail....
Frozen shoulder means not being able to surf for 2 years. The most meaningful part of this vid for me was hearing Ian say that going back to a short board was like riding a bike. You guys are all surfers watching this. You know what it means. Imagine someone telling you "Right! No surfing for 2 years!" Yeah. Not a good feeling.
I skate vert...an i notice those big waves mavs an such slow or buckle an stall on the face making u have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to stay on ur board when the steep drop of speed stalls as u the water buckle an down shift tje speed of the face just when ur ecpecting speed to increase it stalls...that as best as i can see from these far away shots...thanks for the cool shots of nature what are those guys doing out there on those little boards...tiny little folks too....
You deserve a real sponsor mate. RedBull is not a surf brand. Its not skating or mountaineering brand either. Its a massive corporation that cares about nothing but investors and sales. Evil.

Good story. What's the timer say at that point ? 😀

INSANE! The speed of the real-time footage makes the size and mass of the waves even more overwhelming.

@@pcm7315 THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME! I would pay money for that.
Best vision of crazy yet.love it.

Very impressive..
This production quality is not conducive to a 5k sub channel - this is 500k+ sub level production... severely underrated bro
One word sums up Ian: *SOLID*

Couldn't agree more!
Fantastic footage, brilliant explanation and commentary
I remember getting sucked back over a wave when I was a grommit on a 3 foot day 😊😊watching that guy get dragged back over is the stuff of nightmares.
He is surprisingly articulate no ums no ahs no dudes ... well spoken and clear... and a great surfer
Really love how you narrate the whole experience, well put
Great footage I’m not really a surfing fan but I appreciate the content
EPIC waves & surfers!!! I like the way he explained what it was like to be on a wave and the feeling....as best you can without actually riding it. INCREDIBLE!!
When the surfer looks like an RC surfer you know it is a big wave.
So many incredible rides during a captivating season. Well done, all!!!

Excellent video, Ian. Appreciate “hearing” you without music drowning out your voice ! Excellent!

One of the better videos I watched
I want to hear a full interview with the guy who went over the falls backwards on that bomb.....and the windsurfer who stepped off at the bottom of the same bomb. When I first saw it in January.....It gave me nightmares. I thought the tow surfer was going to end up a sail-wrapped death burrito falling onto that windsurf sail....
Yeah me too. Looks really like the badest over the falls I’ve ever seen. Ever.
Wish we could track em down!
@@IanWalsh Maybe he'll resurface someday...
I will NEVER get tired of watching pro surfers catch monster waves like that and make it look easy! Would love to surf waves like that at some point!!
Wow…incredibly huge waves. These guys are studs.
Wow totally insane surfing , I love watching you guys , Australia
This was probably the best big wave vids i have seen .. please do some more and good luck to you all.
Over the falls guy needs to tell story 👍
Wow, massive! It is hard to imagine how huge these waves are.
The off shore wind 🌬 holds the face of the wave 🌊 up higher.
Sick ass waves!! Great video!! Deserves a million views 🤙 I miss Maui
Great video great narrations
Monsters. And I'm not just talking about the waves.
Monsters?!?! Where?!

At 52. I'm super conditioned, I surf every Florida hurricane. I could not survive a Wipeout. I'm 100% certain it would kill me. I have serious respect

Gladiators!
Awsome shit Ian!! Stay safe my Guy!!
Great footage ! Impressive 30 foot waves they are surfing

What is the name of the song at 3:23? Epic track!!
Cunningham Manor - Certain Point of View

Nice! So cool!
Hardcore 👍
Amazing! Horrific! Beautiful! Unbelievable! Incredible! Just everything in one.
Insane....
Crazy good to big
Maybe a heavier board can factor out the wind.
I’d love to see the view of the guy on the ski dropping those guys in.
These waves look fucking terrifying
Amazing
Great interview does anybody know how big approximately those waves are in these clips? They look easily 40 to 50 ft on the face
Were they stoked?😁
how much foot of those waves?
"Strike me down
And I'll become more powerful..."
Obi Wan
Thou Shalt Not Tempt The Lord Thy God - But then again....“Be of good courage!
Those waves are fucking astounding...
Track at the end?
Wow...the surfer going backwards over the falls and the windsurfer getting thrashed on the same wave... 💀
Justine's day.
Can Jaws compete with Nazaré?
No inflation vest that windsurfer or the guy stuck inside that went over on a square 30'er they'd have drowned. So heavy.
Wasn't it Eli who went over the falls on that monster?
Was it? Has he surfaced yet?
He speaks: Deegan's literal tongua! He swallows - his tongue! N Korean - word: To(ng)a -- terrorism.
It means: We swallow, our tongues.
alternative or real Jaws?
WHERE' S LAIRD ?
