mesmerising and great soundtrack and edit - thanks from NZ I think Jordy here rivals Tom Curren's famous day on this wave

[@jbaytvofficial]

Thanks Bro ..Jordy has this wave so dialled...

[@brianrogers6059]

I think Jordy and JJF have the best form on an open face. Both show incredible power, it is not all about tubes.

[@jbaytvofficial]

No doubt!

[@hurlburt808]

I have surfed this before and paddling out is brutal ...But the reward is forever set in your memory bank (EPIC) !

[@brannoxaf]

Start paddle while sets get to the middle on the lul 🤙🤙

[@allensarlo]

Jordy throwing down some nice lines!

[@jbaytvofficial]

Always!

[@stevenschroeder5748]

Real good. Got it bigger than that in 1981 with 8 guys. I was just some Yank from Morro Bay who had really good timing. Nothing but the J Bay hotel then. Stated in a little room for three weeks with a veiw of Magna Tubes. Stayed in that country for Three Months. Love S.A. And the people there. Thanks. Nothing beyond Double Overhead Plus Footage? I don't know about "Biggest". Just sayin.

Epic

[@brannoxaf]

Swell of note!

[@jbaytvofficial]

Historic 👊🏼✌🏼

[@padthai411]

WOWWWWWWWWW

[@donnis90]

Epic! When was filmed?

[@jbaytvofficial]

16/17 September 2023 ✌🏼

[@jaysonlightfoot9177]

You want to try surf it back end

[@HotdogJohnson-tj8gg]

I'm guessing the swell angle and wind made the top unruly. People don't know how head high spots on huge swells still punch and throw water around.

[@jbaytvofficial]

So difficult in the wind that day...Gale force gusts...yes the top section was pretty hectic ...Twiggy Baker said he saw a set roll through up there that was 20 ft Hawaiian

[@hman7236]

😮

[@fronts3165]

At 1:18 is that a shark or sea lion?

[@jbaytvofficial]

We had a look at the raw high res...it's a surfer in a black wetsuit pushing through the whitewater...well spotted though 👏🏼✌🏼

[@brownsnake9750]

31 feet?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣8 foot at most

[@jbaytvofficial]

31 ft @19 s were the swell readings when it peaked on the morning of September 17

[@PA96704]

Misleading video. 6'-8''s

[@MONKLJ]

31' lol

[@kevinhardham8016]

That's the swell size surely you'd know that

[@jbaytvofficial]

[@PA96704]

I was hoping to see that massive set in the beginning being surfed :( @@jbaytvofficial

[@xwhite2020]

That's the open ocean bouy reading. Jbay is deep inside the bay, you know that.

[@JoeDartV1]

Slight breeze….

[@jbaytvofficial]

Gusting gale force 😂✌🏼

[@1ethanb]

31 ft ?

[@jbaytvofficial]

31 ft @19 s were the swell readings when it peaked on the morning of September 17

[@h2oslider242]

Great video with great waves...but 31ft? Come on 🤣🤣. Word of advice, under hype wave size and you won't look the fool.

[@jbaytvofficial]

31 ft @19 s were the swell readings when it peaked on the morning of September 17

[@h2oslider242]

@@jbaytvofficial swell readings don't change the fact that it's not even 20ft, let alone 31ft.

[@zaey5718]

My bru I don’t think this is 31 ft 😂🤣

[@jbaytvofficial]

31 ft was the buoy readings... wave faces ranged from 6 to 15 ft
