These waves are totally intense! I wish the camera was looking down the line up instead of always behind the break and everyone kicks out after the barrel makes me wonder what the inside looks like.

Easliy one of the best righthanders in Indonesia. That swell was a beast, looks like Lagundri provided the goods for all the Crew there.

Nias is the ultimate doodle wave. Perfect shape w/ that tree lined back drop

What a beautiful place! Some serious heavy water though. The surfers you showcased are some serious chargers too! Thanks for sharing. Peace!

I could watch these freigttrains all day 🤙🏽

That's a heavy wave. 🌊🏄‍♂️🤙

Thank you for sharing this. It was my morning’s meditation.

05:17 Big surprise seeing him come out the other end of that one!

Why do people kick out so quick after the barrel here? It looks like the wall is still good for turns. I'm sure one of ya'll know. TY!

Heroic moment...how tf did that natural footer with the late drop, late enter make that!?! Those double ups holy sausage! The line up stills talks about that day till this day..so sick!

Nias is so perfect you almost always make it out of the tube. The big challenge is surviving that drop.

As a European, I will explain why I (Personally) love Indonesia so much. I've been to Indonesia in 2015 & 2018 to do adventure and exploration about the "QUEEN OF MOTHER EARTH" expedition not for vacation, relax and honeymoon. How I love Queen Mother Earth in Indonesia, I mean if you don't understand what I'm saying. Then you can see the video titled "Indonesia 8K". Maybe to you I look crazy, because I like something that is very beautiful but on the other hand is also dangerous. But that's how I felt hypnotized by the Queen with her weirdness, uniqueness and diversity. Indonesia offers something that makes no sense and I love it. I don't need to go to a psychiatrist but I just need to go back to Indonesia to see the Queen. Because there are too many things to explore for adventure. Did you know that the Queen of Mother Earth in Indonesia is the mastermind behind the tragedy of major natural disasters that befell other countries, all of which are recorded internationally, namely: 1). The eruption of Mount Toba. 2). The eruption of Mount Tambora. 3). The eruption of Mount Krakatoa. 4). The eruption of Mount Samalas. 5). 2004 Tsunami (Started from the fault of the Indonesian sea and eventually caused a tsunami to other countries). 6). And many others. You can see on Wikipedia about natural disasters in Indonesia. (Natural disasters in Indonesia are much crazier). If you look closely, the maps of the islands in Indonesia are far from each other. Unlike the islands in the Philippines, Japan, New Zealand and the Maldives which are close together. This indicates that the rampage of the Queen Mother Earth in Indonesia is so powerful that it can even split the mainland between the islands of Sumatra and Java. That's so crazy. My message is : Never hate the Queen even though she always rages, but still love. because the beauty you receive and the uniqueness in it are all above her will because the Queen wants to arrange everything to be the most beautiful even though it is deadly. Actually Indonesia is not for vacation or honeymoon. Instead, it becomes a forum for international researchers and scientists who research Queen Mother Earth in Indonesia. In other words, Indonesia is a place for a special category in the eyes of researchers, scientists and historians. Indonesia has a special title as the number 1 country with the most recorded natural disasters and has never shifted its position to date (not Japan, the Philippines or Chile). Queen Mother Earth in Indonesia is indeed very different from other countries, known as the most beautiful but also the deadliest. Indonesia has a Queen of Earth who is not at all calm, in fact we must be careful and vigilant when following the rules for warning natural disasters there. Because it cannot be predicted accurately, natural disasters in Indonesia always come suddenly. Tourism in Indonesia is underestimated, because Indonesia has the Queen Mother Earth who often rages. There is a saying : "The more beautiful you look, the more dangerous you are". The Queen of Mother Earth in Indonesia represents this proverb (Natural Disaster). The level of natural beauty in Indonesia is "Abnormal" because in one country it is full of oddities that do not make sense. The Queen of Mother Earth in Indonesia is very alive and has her own will. Imagine natural disasters in Indonesia throughout 2021, recorded more than 1,800. While in 2020, there were more than 2900. Far more than any other country. I still love Indonesia even though it has a queen who is always raging, but know that the queen that Indonesia has is the prettiest, the most unique and the weirdest. (Indonesia is the throne of Queen Mother Earth).

All I ever see are Pipeline videos. Too be honest, watching guys drop in at Nias is much more entertaining than watching guys drop in at Pipe.

Cool waves. It's like two waves become one at the perfect moment. Powerful.

My hometown ♥️☀️

Surfing big waves on almost the opposite side of the Earth with exquisite islands, multiple wind exposures to beautiful warm coastline, screwy rock formations. It must be a dream world. This is Florida. The Earth is flat. The rocks are bad though. Lots of 6 foot sharks and bull sharks. 🦈👹😬👹🦈

Hi, I was there in 1976 with 3 guys from west aussie and an american guy, surf it for 3 months ranging from 6ft to 20ft, yes 20ft almost unrideable though we made a few. Without a doubt one of the best waves in the world.

What A Wave That Drop

I stayed/surfed there for 3 weeks in 1998. Not that crowded and scored some epic surf. Then a crew of nuts showed up and wrecked the whole vibe in the lineup. Fighting amongst each other, snaking and just being kooks. Could’ve been my dream trip.

What an amazing wave that is!

This must be the swell when billy got hurt.. all time!! Great clips

WOW! What a monster waves! Beautiful

It's a scary drop and then a speedrun to the shoulder. These guys are really good because that's a scary drop.

4.50 is nuts. Where did he go 😂

Killerest surf films OF ALL TIIIIIME! ! !

69 thumbs down! they obviously have no idea what they just watched! great video! some serious waves ridden by some serious surfers! wicked!

It’s doesn’t make any sense to me, how many barrels were made on this day. Absolutely incredible

That is a heavy low-tide pit. Wow

Ahhhh amazing waves I always watch amazed riding the heavy waves with heavy music like Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background. If crazy like then always heavy tho

Wow solid. How do you commit to paddling over that ledge? Sitting in my chair here I might say I would, but.....

How shallow is it in the take off spot at this size? Is that guy wearing a padded vest?

Amazing Power, Speed, and Pitch. Would dig better seein different cam angles on it

Wow, big day in Nias!!

How high was that waves round about?

that wave looks so nasty/heavy, its amazingggg

One wave I never got to ride, Nias 🤷‍♂. Surfed Periscopes in Sumbawa March, April of 89, one of the most Epic barrels. Do you have footage of Periscopes, if not there is a mission for you 🙏 Cheers Long live a Deep Barrel.

Ya hard pass on that one. Bottom is probably sharp ass rocks to. Love watching it but I'll stick to my lil beach break in FL

The stoke! Great content boys!

Awesome 👍😎 💕 that place.

Where is this in Indonesia

Some crazy drops were made

Does this wave closeout,if so how big

Oh how I miss surfing I'm only been doing it for two years still learning but oh how I miss it just have had no time but this is sick as wooo

Do Margaret river! The box

6:37 wave of the day 💯💯

It doesnot seems to be a easy wave, does it?

How was indicators that day

OMG incredible

Jodi Cooper at NIas in a Coca Cola Commercial 1990. Alerted me to NIas.

4:51 was crazy

Beautiful spot

Why doesn't anyone change POV angle to see the guys in the tube. What happened to the cheering?

Brilliant ❤

Does that break over reef? Amazing waves, great rides

This is a tough crowd to please at this beach.

That lip kiss was HEAVYY

Me being a person who only has 2-3 ft waves these are awesome!

O cara que estava filmando era brasileiro?

Meno ya aga fatora banou kafubaru, ombak nya diteluk dalam monoton dan besar dan jauh 100-200 m, hanya pantainya kurang bersih th 2015 saya kesana, belum tertata peminatnya sedikit., semoga maju, berkembang sauhagelo.. ya ahofu..

never realized how slabby that wave is. got to be the heaviest wave in indo

Love it but would be nice to see a bit more of the paddle before they stand up to get a better idea of it

That first one was a 10.0 ...dam

Wow!

Legendary

dont't exist another angle for the camera?

Wow nice surfing!

Di indonesia banyak sekali tempat untuk surfing.. Iam from indon

dannnng, nice!

Sangat indah

04:50 is camera tricks or what?

Pergunta de um admirador que ignora....Nias, com essas condições, é maior que Backdoor (Pipeline) ou não???

Amazing

I wish the angle was from further down the reef.

Waw...nice..

I still can't figure what happened on this wave 4:50

unreal

There is no worst place to film. Is impossible to see the wave :S

You don’t paddle in …you drop in from under the lip, something you have to develop to be a great surfer and be able to ride these kind of waves…

Woww

Epic

Surf dá pesada !!!!!

Crazy

6:35 finally 🔥

2:30 I thought there was no way this mans coming out of that one... '0'

Show Gostei 🏴‍☠️⚡🏴‍☠️ .

That drop though

The brown room

get a half dozen of those barrels and you could hang up the board.

yaahowu 🙏

Que mar sinistro mano , se não tiver cuidado nesse mar é morte na certa,. Gigante de mais

Have a look at this guy

Thanks for zero music. Nice video

4:51 was a magic act wtf

How the fuck do they catch wave after wave with these death barrels without being engulfed?

0:40 thats sick

"Caraio cara, ta muito tópe..."

You need a fast surfboard to ride those waves.

Wow

Hahaha what crap - There's about 100 aggro guys fighting in 1 small take off zone. Nias is a nasty little island by all reports. Hard and expensive to get too, then paddle out and NEVER get a wave. Good for youtube highlight videos only :)
