SHOULD I DO A "ROUND TABLE" OF SORTS DISSECTING SOME OF OUR BEST SWELLS EVER?! Bringing in Videographers, Photographers, & Surfers who've been staples of OBX surfing...
If you showed those rides to 1,000 people and asked them "Do you believe this could be East Coast USA?" most people would say "No, it gets good but not that good..." The quality of the filming, the editing, and the storytelling is unsurpassed on TH-cam- I mean seriously these are the most entertaining videos on TH-cam- It is amazing the combination of talent, Your Surfing-WOW- Mr Barley(KILLING IT!!!!), the filming is very well done, and then the editing is fantastic. One of the best East Coast days of my life was at RC's in Florida, 1991, the famous Halloween swell that made the cover of Surfer magazine, I think it had Todd Morcum and it said "Trick or Treat, its 10 feet!" So there is one video of that day I have found on TH-cam- I am in it, one of the unidentified surfers...The quality of that video is really pathetic and it is so sad because it was one of those days that only happens every few years. Keep using your amazing talent to the fullest Brett- Best surf videos on TH-cam, there is no comparison to others. Here is a link to the video of that day at RCs th-cam.com/video/eFkIUiBaZQQ/w-d-xo.html
All of your guys videos are dope as hell. I'm 3 hours away bout to start riding out to coast alot this summer to teach myself how to surf. Hope to see yall out there. Keep grinding!!!
@6:09 The Lighthouse, for over 40 years now, has always been a bright beacon for me. As soon as I see it I know I'm almost to my home away from home where all is well in the world, the wind and the waves. Now I see it here from 100 miles away and I still get that feeling. Thanks dude.
Oh man there’s two things that hit me like that... coming over the Oregon Inlet bridge to pea island, and seeing the Lighthouse as I come out of Avon. It means I’m home. Special feeling for sure!
@@brettbarley heavy session for sure!! I get that feeling everytime i drive in to the obx no matter which way i come in. Always feels like im coming home .. one day it will be!!
such awesome content, love watching ur videos brett!! been watching you for a while now and still do not understand how u only have 32k subs. content like yours deserves millions!!
Another high quality vlog Brett. You sure are blessed to live in such a beautiful part of the world, and with untouched gems like that rolling through, with just you and your friends, you gotta be pinching yourself mate everytime your inside the green room. Keep well. Yeeeweeee
This is my first time watching one of your vlogs and gotta say great job! Killer footage, editing, music and all around vibes. Quentin straight charging a bomber at 8:56 and Jesse at 10:13. Greetings from Shell Beach, California.
It's just crazy Brett - those days were amazing. I mean some of the clips and the size of the waves looked like you guys could have been getting spit out at Backdoor. ?? Wow
Pretty...Pretty...Pretty Good. Can't believe I was watching you surf Teahupoo last night and came back today to see those crazy barrels in NC. You are truly living the dream. Thanks for sharing. You help brighten my mundane days of lockdown in the city.
That was insane Brett! I've been waiting for this one. I've seen a handful of somewhat similar days in all the years I lived here and time I've spent here since. But not that consistent. You were definitely at the right place at the right time. Insane videography and editing, as usual. If there is ever a worldwide documentary on this island your content should be the majority of it. I just feel so fortunate to still have a home down here and finally be able to be back on the island. This place will forever be my home and I miss living here so much. Just glad I can get A Taste of Home when I watch what you present to us. God bless and keep living the dream! On a side note, the bass fishing has been insane up in town!
That makes me sad I missed such an epic day Brett your so lucky very rare to see everything come together like that I just wish we got waves like that 2 to 3 times a month
Your edits are always so good. I have witnessed your evolution and it looks RAD. Your a APlus Surfer and Vlogger without a doubt. The way you work on the edits, truly exemplifies a solo VLOG artist. Your content is real and nice for the viewer. The true job of the director is to frame the action in a way to show the audience the story they are creating and I enjoy all the frames you show us as an audience. I really liked the highlight edit you put into this episode where you used individual pictures, shots, frames of a specific surf sequence.. I really would love to see you use that technique or effect more on the really good waves you get or see, have the video run, and then showcase it. Maybe one per episode. Just a suggestion, I liked it that much to write you this epic of a good job note. Sorry for Ramblin'.
I miss the OBX.... was there for the epic East coast surfing Championships of 1980. The first time i encountered double over barrels. Was scared out of my ming at 14. shout out to Joe Grattola, sister Jen, Lisa Rosselli, and Skip Jastremski! thinking about a summer road trip up the east this summer!
Thanks for sharing. you are going to blow the OBX up for surfing with your great videos. Back in the day Shackleford banks was bombing and it was a total east coast only secret. Now that area is a dreamland for paddling downwinders and inside outside trips, and no paddlers are making videos about it. Hope you keep finding them.
You and your boys all rip. You guys had it all to yourself too it looked like. The say the west is the best but your spot there on the east coast is pretty legit. Yeeeeeet!
My favorite thing we all took from this swell and seeing how you took it in is it killed your thought of "I've seen everything hatteras can do." Or the "thought of have I seen all the banks can hold"... I'm stoked the wave of your life is still out there now for you. And the definitive answer is NO we will and could see this place possibly do something our grandfathers or those old crusty heads talk to us groms a out. Those dreams every banks lifer has. Yeah boys! Dana included. Well deserved if I sont say so myself. Btw I wouldn't have judged you on the high fives or if a huge went down that day. 💯🔥❤
Ya it’s so rad to know the best is still yet to come! Knowing the glory days ARENT behind us, but that there’s opportunity in front of us to score waves like we’ve never before! So epic!
Very rad indeed! Epic🙏🖤 Sorry for the typos: about* dont* hugs* sorry again. Big thumbs and always stoked gramer problems via text for life. Hahahah 🤷♂️🤣 uughhhh🙃
This reminded me of 1996 Hurricane Bertha in Fort Pierce, easily 15’ faces that day. I would try explain it to people and the only thing I could think of comparable is the waves at pipeline. Awesome awesome video man! Oh, I almost died that day too. haha 🤙
can you do a video on how on earth you make it out to the lineup on heavy days like this. i feel like if i were to try to paddle out on a day like this i would never make it out. help.
Try to anticipate a break in the sets, paddle fast at the whitewater, you need momentum for a good duck dive. When people are new, they tend to stop paddling and try to duckdive at a standstill. Which never works, the waves going to have a longer time and need to overcome less energy to pull you back and eliminate any progress you made. Just remember that and you can make it out the back even if you have a pretty awful duckdive.
5 hours then back in! 🤙💥💯 I was literally going to ask where are the guys from noahs ark and then Jesse hines appears 😀. Where are the rest of that crew? Sick video Brett to most surfers just one of those barrels would be the wave of a life time. You had a stack of them
Dude, how do you paddle through that to get out? Do you just take a full beating or is it peaky enough to get around and out? Absolutely love your channel from dumb Fireman in LA🤓
Full beating... just keep paddling till there’s enough of a break between waves to get out. It absolutely destroys you mentally and physically haha. And thank you!
Get ready to get crowded. We are coming for you this weekend in our brew throughs and jorts😎🤙🏽. Blessing for some and a curse for the lineup. Saturday morning Will be better than forcasted🤞🏽
The Island is ready for everyone with arms wide open... most small business’ and self employed people haven’t received a dime for 2 months. Which really hurts when your local economy already doesn’t make much money Nov-March.
i could have driven a short drive and gotten clobbered and im crying out inside that i missed the beating 😫😭 cheers to the years b4 it all comes together again 😢😭
So let me get this straight... Your just gonna surf but not try to sell me anything?? And give your boys fame??!!! Whhhhaaaattt?? I can dig it Brotha🤙👍
I'm a father of 4 and pretty much surf every swell we get up here in long island because I have an absolutely cool wife, I'm assuming its pretty much the same for you ! Haha nice work bro
Hey Brett, maybe try going thicker rather than longer on board size. I know you've got a sponsor but on good days here I'm riding a 5'7 lost rocket redux (regular, not the wide version) and it paddles pretty quickly and is still light and snappy (and will fit in some of the tiny waves us east coasters deal with). Idk if superbrand makes anything like it, but if not maybe you can get them on it. Anyway, that's my 2¢, thanks for the awesome content!
That’s exactly the type of board I was on... a 5’11” PigDog Pro is basically like a 6’2” step up board. I’ve been riding those type of barrel boards you’re talking about for over 10 years. But in big open ocean beach break conditions... length does help.
@@brettbarley you'd know better than I would, my local is a point break with pretty freakish rip currents when it gets bigger (we have a 6-9 sometimes 10 foot tidal swing here) so the water moves fast and arms turn to spaghetti. Anyway, just a thought. Got that board 2 months ago and feel like a brand ambassador now because of how much I love it.
SHOULD I DO A "ROUND TABLE" OF SORTS DISSECTING SOME OF OUR BEST SWELLS EVER?!
Bringing in Videographers, Photographers, & Surfers who've been staples of OBX surfing...
Brett Barley hells yeah
Brett Barley that would be so sick
Come to montuak Long Island

Ben.... Have you surfed Poverty beach in Cape May? It used to be the best wave there. A knarly shore break
All of your guys videos are dope as hell. I'm 3 hours away bout to start riding out to coast alot this summer to teach myself how to surf. Hope to see yall out there. Keep grinding!!!

Great video. You can watch surfing endlessly. It's fine.
I don't think i have ever had a day this good. It just kept on and on. One beautiful wonderful wave after another. Makes you want to scream.
Oh I bout lost my voice from screaming so much. It was crazy
This is Hardcore! no flat ocean with huge waves just a imperfect perfection ! Respect
its crazy to think how many actual perfect waves have gone through before humans discovered the spots.
such awesome content, love watching ur videos brett!! been watching you for a while now and still do not understand how u only have 32k subs.
content like yours deserves millions!!
Deep, dark, dredgin' drainers... dope

Pretty...Pretty...Pretty Good. Can't believe I was watching you surf Teahupoo last night and came back today to see those crazy barrels in NC. You are truly living the dream. Thanks for sharing. You help brighten my mundane days of lockdown in the city.
amped to hear the videos are keeping you stoked! hang in there, and hopefully you can get back in the water sooner than later.
Yew! Pumping!! Feeling the froth from West Oz. Cheers!!

Matthew Kerst thank you!
This hole video is fire...I could watch this over and over! 🤙

Love the surfing and B-roll, keep it coming gents!
Nice surfing Bret. Those are some hefty barrels. Max late take offs.
Legendary 🤙🏽 Y’all got kegged (and axed) Glad everyone made it home safe 👌🏼
Loved the discussion at the end. Was gonna ask if you ride bigger boards to chase them down. Would be epic if you could have had a ski out.
Why isn't this guy famous yet ? Content is sick 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽

Quinten @ 8:55 and 9:08 were awesome too. The one he didn't make at 9:08 was so big
Great watching you guys rip some really big ones!!
Great surfing and session, thanks for sharing.
Everyone knows the East coast doesn't get good... hahaha. EPIC! Thanks for sharing
WOW! probably the best backside tube riding on the channel so far - from you and your homies!
Damn Jesses right barrel literally looks like a backdoor wave. Incredible
The wave at 8:54 looks out of this world
That is the biggest barreling east coast surf I’ve ever seen! Comparable to Florida ‘91 Halloween swell!
And this is why I subscribed. Name any beach around the world. Those were some legit bombs. Felt like I was watching a Marvel action movie.
Insane barrels
The slow motion of Dana Quinn at around 5:05 was beautiful.
Ya Jeffrey nailed that shot!
Amazing day!! Thanks for sharing!
You make it look so easy!
Heck yeah Brett!! Scored big time!
I love the edit, thanks for sharing such good content.
💎
1:16 looked away and I looked back. I thought my screen was broken.
can you do a video on how on earth you make it out to the lineup on heavy days like this. i feel like if i were to try to paddle out on a day like this i would never make it out. help.

Well said.
I'd say that is as good as it gets.
Brett, do the sponsors pay you to talk about the session?
Almost looks like some of that delmarva shorepound
Man your boy has a future in vlogging. Already better behind the camera than 90 percent of youtube
Haha he loves to talk
5 hours then back in! 🤙💥💯 I was literally going to ask where are the guys from noahs ark and then Jesse hines appears 😀. Where are the rest of that crew? Sick video
Brett to most surfers just one of those barrels would be the wave of a life time. You had a stack of them
Absolute hammer. So sick man
Now THAT is what dreams are made of
damn that was special, the vlog is of High High quality!
Dude, how do you paddle through that to get out? Do you just take a full beating or is it peaky enough to get around and out? Absolutely love your channel from dumb Fireman in LA🤓
Full beating... just keep paddling till there’s enough of a break between waves to get out. It absolutely destroys you mentally and physically haha.
And thank you!
G Pray4surff With that offshore he should have tied himself to a kite to go out
Brett Barley Destroys you in the moment, but must make you invicible
Wow. That was pretty sick. Get it while you can.
Love it man. Thanks for sharing!!
Absolutely insane !!!🤙
8:37 ...That spitting barrel!!!
west coast just experienced the same thing ! so sick
The spit on the wave at 8:35 oooooooooooeeeeeeeeeeee!
That stall and make at 10:59 was mind blowing.
best video yet
CRAZY GOOD EDITING...once again!
you were all charging! well done
It looked unreal bud wow
Firing! The whole crew was charging 🤘
Amazing.... I would have liked to see how hard it was to get out there.
I've surfed it half tbat size and it was rough
Get ready to get crowded. We are coming for you this weekend in our brew throughs and jorts😎🤙🏽. Blessing for some and a curse for the lineup. Saturday morning Will be better than forcasted🤞🏽

Brett Barley Yeah that’s why we are coming down. Traffic is going to insane, but fun.
shew that was heavy
i could have driven a short drive and gotten clobbered and im crying out inside that i missed the beating 😫😭 cheers to the years b4 it all comes together again 😢😭
Can you tell me the band who played the first track. It's awesome!
THIS IS EPIC!
looks pretty sick !
So let me get this straight... Your just gonna surf but not try to sell me anything?? And give your boys fame??!!! Whhhhaaaattt?? I can dig it Brotha🤙👍
Right! No merch Or Açaí bowls? Lmao. He’s such a woman!
I'm a father of 4 and pretty much surf every swell we get up here in long island because I have an absolutely cool wife, I'm assuming its pretty much the same for you ! Haha nice work bro
Awosome! Keep up the good content!
Slabby slabby gnar gnar. Quick question though. Do you know of any wetsuit company that makes suits anymore without celliant in them at the 5/4 size?
We got it good when the wind went north
Very rare to see ocracoke barrel like Buxton but it was like 6-8 foot barrels THROWING
Wow.That one sizeable day doesn't even look like Hatteras not to mention your balls out charging!
barrel madness

Is there many bodyboarders when you surf?
Sometimes... but not often. There’s a small crew of em here. Rad dudes, they just normally stick to shorebreak spots,
I used to see waves like that in buxton quite a bit.
2ft Hawaiian brah.. that was legit sick!!!
Name of the song during the first session?????????
Typhoon season starting early.
So sick would love to surf that
why can't it be like this in New Jersey!?!? its been flat here for like 2 weeks.
Yeww pure stoke 🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼
Insane!
