BIGGEST WAVES IN DECADES!! Ala Moana Bowls RAW FOOTAGE (South Shore, Oahu) 

Cheee! That's awesome!

Try it in Feb. it’s close to over

You need to edit this as @0:42 so we can click to that exact moment.

@@pohanahawaii I will try, but where do I upload it to?

I think I see me at Pops ;). amazing swell & so much fun.

I guess it was better in the 60s then. Conditions aren’t the best at bowls…as for Threes and guys riding guns…we rode it up to 8’ regularly …everyone had hotdog boards(Malibu) then. I saw Downing and Strauch riding it at 10 to 12 foot when everywhere was colsed out.

Looking at the 42to 43 second image again, I doubt if it is Threes to the left. There’s a wave way outside to the right of Bowls. It could be a first reef thing that backs off? The other breaks East of Bowls in order would be: Rockpiles, In-betweens, and Kaisers. I don’t think they’re seen because they’re inside of this view. Next would be Fours, Threes, Paradise, then Pops. More likely those guys are riding the lefts at Fours. They can’t go right where they’re taking off. The wave to their right is the next wave in the set.

You could tell I was surprised by my filming😂

@@cheynemedia3510 I'm more surprised that you kept filming! How did you know the boarder wasn't swallowed by the surf? Maybe you're seeing something different or hearing from someone else that they're not 'under'. 🤔

Never seen nothing like that!

South shore is sooo trippy, the weirdest mix of city and small town vibes I’ve ever encountered.

I'm just a city boy from the New England and wished we had waves like they do in Hawaii. Surprised I don't see surfers crashing into each other.

Back in the 90s i used to bodyboard at kaisers a lot. One time this little angry surfer asian man punch the back of my thigh because i was paddling ahead of him to catch a wave. The next few waves he broke his board and tried to make this other haole guy come back to shore and pay for a new board. The guy was always so angry. I always wondered if he ever got beat up.

All crowds are full of jerks. Basically, surfing is a jerk sport.

@@nujxad friend of mine got his board broke by Ben Aipa because he got on the wave first. Nothing but assholes out there.

Old man yells at cloud

its about 1.5 mile west of Hilton village. We just left there 9 days ago. darn the luck!!

About a quarter mile. Maybe slightly more. But less than half-mile

Look at Google Maps or Google Earth...This is breaking into the boat channel for the harbor west of the Hilton. From this wave, the next land mass is Magic Island as you're headed west...In the background, more notably, you can see 3 very famous Waikiki waves of legendary status....The one on the left is Kaiser's, then you see Pops (Populars) then the most legendary of all "THREE'S"...ALL breaking in ONE SHOT!!! this is exactly at :42 seconds in...Amazing capture!

@@DannyCal - Thank You!

@@user-sg8kq7ii3y - Thank you!

As the years went by, I respected bad ass body boarders more and more- plenty have more wave savvy and timing than plenty of board surfers.

It’s been know to close out the channel, I think a few boats have been flipped.

Except for the guy at 6:03 he definitely thinks he's at work

You're so cool you ride a surfboard.

@@mitch1455 precisely what your mother says...

lol, "cut people off in traffic on your 3-wheeled motorcycle while peering over your white sunglasses at blowing vape smoke at the peasants..."

Just as many snakes on surfboards
