The opening scene, right where the 2nd wave is breaking.... thats the most amazing footage ever. It by itself is an awesome spectacle to behold.... To throw a dude on that board is beyond ridiculous.
@Lineageeeee they get ragdolled for a couple minutes & most times for 2 or 3 waves. but amazing what we humans can handle under the right amount of pressure. aloha
Dumb question but how do they keep from slipping of the boards? Seems like when the waves crash down that they should be swept off the board. Also about how fast do they go on a surfboard?
Was this a competition? I see a lot of jet skis out there just waiting to help. I was wondering if that is normal or is it only like that for contests?
good video. i witnessed this as a tourist. Crazy awesome shit.. I tried surfing when i was a tourist down there. My wife did better cause she was lighter and the waves were small. It's like golf in a way. Gotta try it to appreciate it. I wish i were these guys. I tried it once and I was hooked. Wish I lived there. I can ski though.
buenisimo carna, y mas por ke ami me encantaria algundia yegar a surfear olas de ese tamaño, por el mo mento me conformo con las de mi localidad saludos desde tampico mexico!!
Whoa, Kapalua is on the other side of the island. I'd say it's about 30 minutes or so from the airport driving the opposite direction of Kapalua, haha! Good luck getting there cuz more rich guys are migrating over & buying up the land here.
Pretty cool when people pull together like that for everyone's safety. For me I'll take the beginner breaks. heh heh heh Are there even any beginner spots in the Hawaiian islands?
thanks for the advice! im doing my best! im totally afraid of heights so when the waves get really high i freak, but when i DO happen to catch one, its a high that im sure you know what im talking about but cant really explain. maybe one day youll see ME on youtube carving it up with the best of them... watch out now! ;)
wouldn't like to be in a boat around maui lol..amazing surfers though! and like a lot of people have asked: what music is playing in the background please?!
question: ive only just began surfing and i can barely ride little waves. how the hell does one graduate to these suckers? is it like a 100 step program or something? or one day did dude just decide, 'hey, im going to try and ride a wave as tall as a building and hope i dont die.'? this is crazy awesome. one day... maybe.. haha
