Previous vids of Deadman’s I’ve seen people try to say this wave isn’t that gnarly and why are so many locals falling? Well, Deadman’s absolutely schooled Koa, and we know his skill level is legendary.
Can someone with contacts in the mining industry please get some expl0sives and dive on a small day, knock off those high points on the slab that are causing the secondary waves. There are thousands of miles of coastline in Oz, give the surfers 50m to shape for themselves. There seems to be two places that need leveling.
i dont even surf, but as an aussie this makes me proud. i watched every second. you surfers at this level are fkn insane.....hows the health insurance? !!
Don't worry about those small minded locals ...everyone knows about that wave !! Hope you score ..I think the North coast is a good call . Enjoy your trip Koa . Cheers Leigh
I mean this is just locals. Look at pipeline, theres always going to be a group of people that dont want to share the wave, and another group that is more welcoming. Happens at basically every break. Although I must admit "no filming" is kinda dumb since everyone who has the means to go to deadmans already knows about deadmans. Its one of the most entertaining waves in the world to watch imo. So much carnage.
Best thing about Australia is that nearly every headland has a slab and a bunch of underground or unknown chargers pushing it as hard as anywhere in the world.
i was born in manly, nobody surfed out at deadmans till the age of the phone camera..i must have seen thousands of perfect waves roll thoiugh that ledge..i love it is surfed now
I don’t typically listen to metal, but for this particular wave it couldn’t have been better 🤙🤙❤️ so sick I’m so glad you made it over there, I’ve always wanted to see either you or Nathan surf at deadman’s 🙏❤️
The take off looks so inviting until you realize there is a demon waiting at the bottom of the double up. Must be the ultimate rush. I've always liked taking off and seeing the smoothness of the water feeding the waves, with the sun light hitting just right. I do believe there is a god because that feeling is unique only to the ocean.
Man, i don't know if that sign was serious or somebody was just taking the piss. As a local myself i can tell you 100% that no one i know gives a shit if you film there or not. The sign was probably written by a blow-in and not a local. Jesse was right though, if you do have an issue, have the balls to go face to face like a man, instead of hiding behind a sign. You're always welcome to surf and film brother.
It may have been written for its beautiful irony: so many people see life through their phone and forget to embrace the real thing. Stop filming, this is life!
I really can’t tell if it’s the camera angle or if this is the scariest fkn wave I’ve ever seen. Bro the guys getting sent over the falls must have lungs of steel
This selection of footage is curated as not to hurt the ego of the salesman. Watch Surfing Visions recent 'Deadmans August' footage to watch the kids sending it. (not the washed up has been aussie bogan thugs still craving relevance for camera time)
Don’t worry about signs and people getting hung up with you filming. I live in Australia, it’s an awesome free country but since some people have nothing to worry about like guns, violence, extreme poverty, no social security, they get hung up on the most trivial sh-t and get their panties in a knot over nothing. Ignore this whinging minority and do as you please Koa. 99.999% of Ozzie’s love you showing what awesome surf and surfers Oz has to offer.
That sucks to be greeted with that but just made it more funny. That wave seemed impossible to read and perfectly named. Brilliant music choice Jack! Thanks guys
Australia has such a variety of awesome waves. Tons of people who push it out there who go before or after work that you wouldn’t recognize but they charge. This wave was just eating everyone. You half a half percentage chance of making one of these mutants. So many I saw people going on wondering what they are thinking.
Deth on a short stik 😮😳😁 Deadman's tells no tales? Respect given is respect earned ... No filming in Hawaii for the Ozzie's? Sad to see that happened but your aloha is evident Koa 🤙 much respect for the situation, conditions and stoke you carried 🙌 Blessings and aloha from the great lakes 🫶 you and your crew are always welcome here to surf and film
No wayyyyyyyy you guys getting close out like a normal 3 ft waves there my lord that second wave with the guy going over the falls was pure cojones 😂😂😂😂😂😂💪🏽
Yes, there are different accents within Australia. And yes, it does take a couple of days to get used to driving on the "wrong side of the road". No doubt you noticed crossing the road on foot can be SUPER dangerous for the first few days too. Loved the footage!
You got your suburbia accent (everydayAussie), your country accent (slow and drawn out words), your bogan accent (hi pitch with a lot of "yeah nah"), your eshay (cross between alcoholic bogan and ice addict) and then there's western Australian Perth accent (wannabe Canadians who can't pronounce ou) and then you got the hardest to interpret indigenous accent (fast in broken English).
south Australian neutral and the posh Australian cultured accent like old school abc and old school white outback accent almost ultra slow, drawn-out w a tonal wavering warble to it.
@@neil06379 I'm West Aussie and nothing like a Canadian pronunciation. That wanker is off his rocker that said that. I probably am just regular Aussie accent. That bloke obviously doesn't know West Aussies or even been here.
what a gnarly monster of a wave, it was eating people, good on you for having the courage to try it brother and then call it, .. live another this is livin!
I don’t know how it is on other days, but it seemed the waves were clearly unmakeable on this day, when it came to getting barreled. This is as close as it gets to a death wish. You’d have to have balls of steals to surf on this day. Great job, capturing all the action!
Dude that was awesome. The wipeouts were awesome. You’re just waiting for someone to make it but everybody was getting destroyed. That one dude got caught in the lip and some others got denied by that double up on the drop. Whew friggin’ psycho!
7:30 Yikes 😬 ! The worst bit about deadman’s is getting caught on the inside. Last session I had there the intervals were so short I was kept on the rocks for ages finally made it back to the line up and my lungs were burning
You could have said it was our Jessie from Bondi Rescue, what a good friend to have in Oz, very knowledgeable. I dont notice much difference in our accents over here but I would say the closer you are to the bigger cities it might be a bit different. By the way can someone tell me what causes that 'lip' thing in the water. Take care while travelling you guys.
Awesome documentary made about the "Brah Boys" that he was a part of featuring Jessie before his time on Bondi Rescue somewhere out there on youtube. Very cool to see these youtube worlds collide.
By lip you mean that step/ledge that appears near the bottom of the face right as the wave stands up, right? That's from the reef being uneven. The whole wave jacks up quickly (is "slabby") because it goes from deep water and hits reef very suddenly; steps and boils in the face form when there are particularly uneven shallow bits of the reef. When you're out at a reefbreak in between big sets you can watch smaller waves form little boils as they hit/feel these shallow sections, which you can then use to figure out where you are over the reef to position yourself for the sets
Thankyou @kgramkow for explaining that I appreciate it. I have to say it looks hella dangerous!!! Obviously you guys know what you are doing, so stay safe out there. And @jaycee571 I did watch the Bra Boys documentary and it was brilliantly done and shows the surf scene as it really is, a family. Take care.
Stoked to see you have a go when you can clearly see it's just carnage! Great perspective and hope the joking signs at your expense don't bother you ..good banta for youtube!
dude i was out surfing in socal about 6-8 ft this morning and I came home thinking i was the man!!!lol I would shit my pants in these huge freaks!! next level right here
No Filming?? Think somebody was taking the pizz. Have seen footage on other days where more surfers were making them. Hope you do get to score this on a better day. Good luck on your trip in Oz.
Sign says no filming. I have already seen many videos of this spot. It's called dead man's. This spot gives ship sterns a run for its money. Scary wave for sure.😮
Nice. but what was the weird side chop from the north making it close out like if a jet ski was running around outside the lineup. in the conditions it should have been clean and joined up right through and 80% good ones. something was wrong.
Kai Lenny is working on a new prototype board with a really heavy nose to help with air drops. I kinda feel like it would work well here. What a gnarly wave, those steps are insane
Damn…I mean, places like The Right, The Left, Shipsterns…you know that step is there and typically where it is. This wave has steps poppin out 1/2 way up the face! They’re just popping up everywhere.
Hey Koa, im a surfer originally from Tasmania which is the part southern Australia and now live on the Gold Coast and yeah it's definitely a different lingo up here compared to Tassie but not a huge difference. Just some Aussie's are more oka than other Aussie's 🤙
Accent differences are subtle. Some of the older country ppl have slightly different accents. Some ppl have thick accent, some neutral as in media and professional workers. Blue collar usually have strong accents.
