God, you'd think that wave would seem less gnarly after seeing it so many times. It never does.

Will watch later.

I don't think most of NS will realize how fucking gnarly this is. That will probably go down as one of the biggest swells in history.

the fact that so many things aligned to make this 15 minutes video of beautiful insanity is what blows me away. a lot of times when freak things happen like this, you dont have a nice camera, or a battery dies, or something happens and it ends up as just another story someone told about an epic swell, and not a documentary.

The one guy being interviewed said he tracked it for a while though so they kinda knew it was coming. and it was during the Billabong pro event so the cameras were there well before

The waves are always huge. I think the asp contest there is coming up again. Find the highlights from the last world tour contest there. The waves were so big they canceled the heats for a day and did a tow in session.

What is the chance of dying on waves like that? I feel like every time I look at something like that I automatically try to compare it to some of the big mountain lines where its pretty much auto death if you fall

Not that high. I mean, on a day like that it could deffinetly happen, but its not too common. The real danger is the reef. The water right where the wave breaks is about 3-4 feet deep, and it is over razor sharp coral
