EP 3: WORST WIPEOUTS - MAVERICKS - Pinned on the Bottom

In this episode, I find myself pinned to the reef under an underwater waterfall! I was fully inflated but the heaviness of the ocean just kept weighing me down for what felt like forever!
The slab at Mavericks is one of the most violent places on the planet with a huge amount of water, focusing into a very small area, magnifying the power and intensifying the wipeout!
Special thanks to ‪@PowerlinesProductions‬ for always being out there to capture the action.
Footage is taken from "Ground Swell: The Other Side of Fear", created by Paul Taublieb and from my movie with "Over the Edge" directed by Andrew Kaineder. All filmed produced by ‪@MonsterEnergy‬

[@matthewnazare4055]

As a surfer myself your story gives me butterflies I know that feeling all too well🌊😱🤙🏽🤜🏾

[@BarbarraBay]

Super heavy. Amazing explanation. It was like being there. 😮😮

[@guyfitter3006]

6:14 great pic though! Great story thanks for sharing.

[@winn3337]

when you know you're not going to make the drop but are too late to pull off... might be the worst feeling in surfing

[@MattBromleySurf]

Hahha I think so!!!

[@lahondafolk4334]

I live near there.
Always wondered what the sensation is being sucked back up and over/in the falls and going down to the bottom.
Best description ever.
Been worked over a 4' wave long ago boogie boarding. That's
enough for me.
Cheers

[@SoulDaddy33]

I was really impressed with his detailed description of the event without the need to talk like a low-life. You get me?

[@algorerhyth]

Did Mark Foo have floatation vest? I think Shane Dorian also said Mavericks was probably his scariest wipeout.

[@MattBromleySurf]

Mark foo was surfing probably before any flotation. When Shane almost drowned out there, he invented the inflation vest.

[@christopherharris4494]

What are the chances of punching through and not going back over the falls on a wave like that?

[@tshafer007]

0

[@MattBromleySurf]

Almost next to none. Too much water moving.

[@Tyler-sv4sw]

How’s the reef lol

[@MattBromleySurf]

Some crayfish

[@nickr2425]
