Bodyboarding is just a different way of surfing a wave! I live on a cold water coast so many don't have the means to surf even though they want to try it. I mainly skim boarded growing up, but bodyboarded when the occasional nice wave would appear off my coast. I always wished I had a surf board and wet suit, but parents just didn't have enough money and could only afford a bodyboard. That's what's great about the body board, it makes riding waves accessible to everyone, even the poor. You can find a cheap bodyboard if it's your only option. I feel some surfers don't realize how fortunate they were
Greg please be careful you already have the honor of being one of the top few best on the biggest. If you feel timid or obliged to continue without having fun, just relax and take a break. With your near death experience, there is zero letdown if you were to stop as youv've already "proven' that your Greg Long!

The Cortez banks break is so mind boggling. The fact these guys are willing and able to get that far out into the open ocean and surf amongst massive waves and massive great whites is heroic. I know most predators like the great white wouldn't be trolling those rough breaks for food because it's way to chaotic and there's not much there for them to eat outside of some small to large tuna and dolphin but that type of prey is only good for juvenile whites. Can't believe these guys are so willing to also surf waves that break just a few hundred yards from a sheer cliff face that drops 6,000' to the bottom of the ocean. Fucking insane. The documentary "On the shoulders of giants" is a great doc to show the insane logistics and physics of Cortes bank
So true we only see that milisecond , not the whole story behind it , we're all thinking it's the best job to be a pro surfer , but the stress, mental ability, physical ability, i have mad respect for any of these braddahs with the biggest ballz on earth to rush. Like keaulana said "it's easy to surf surviving is the hard part". That stays with me everytime i surf. ✊✊🏄♂️🏄♂️
his dad whistled the entire soundtrack to LOTR when he was talking. sounded like a kettle stuck inside a flute. Teas ready. sounded like a football referee on speed. sounded like a parrot at a rave. sounded like 1000 bombs being dropped by a plane. 10/10
Interesting anecdote, I had a prescription drug made for me called Sinequan. Great for a sweet sleep. Cute group of American surfers in this video . I love airheads.
there's a place that blow the banks away up north off Punta Gorda Called the Great Break can be found on old fishing charts of the area true 100' waves and bigger not a backwash to clear out The Great white get the sound of Killer Whales eating and play it on a underwater microphone they will all leave no one has touched it to this day there lots of spots up there no one has surfed Potato Patch has so many spots 9 miles out reef and sandbars that get huge one friend of mine had a old photo off the Bridge of a super Tanker pushing through a closeout whitewater closed out the bay made it through it was so much higher than the Tanker it was nuts but it was real those freak days still happen I got one of those waves once myself luck was a big part of the Board I had was all wrong only 7' and didn't hold in well and wished I had my 8'6" but didn't think a 20'er would be rolling in that day had worked all day piecing plumb and line in the valley got home and the waves were a soild 8-10' backs not faces 20' faces and was living in Ariz for 2 years not surfing at all was out of shape but still was in pretty good shape that wave just smoked my ars it freight trained me so hard as I hit the bottom turn 3/4 of a mile out further than anyone else out there they all got caught inside I got major air at the take off as well as a back wash came up the wave it was pretty fun hitting it had some airtime
Greg is the type of guy where if your a local and he comes to your break during a huge swell he would give you a handshake and shoot the shit with you before or after the session. Is that true or is he more of a recluse?
Yeah I race motocross and at 40 years old I was still showing the young kids how to get a holeshot,my family has never seen me race or even ride ,but my aunt came with my uncle and it made me worry thinking about how nervous she probably was not knowing that I devoted my life to riding a dirt bike and practice 30 hours more than most people work there full time job,eat sleep ride....
i watch alot of these and im getting pretty tired of all the talk about how dangerous it is. talk about surfing pls. also its not actually that dangerous in comparison to other extreme sports
wow you are ignorant. how could you say its not that dangerous? you obviously are not a surfer and no nothing about the sport besides form what you watch in this film
andrew cotton just had one off the narliest wiprouts ever on a 70ft wave and broke his back a but will be back in the water soon. its not as dangerous as wingsuiting or back country snowboarding etc. but they try and make it seem that way
It's really disrespecting life.It's not as if you are risking your own life to save some else's life.How many people will think you died as a hero?Not one.
Sure its heroic. Pushing the limits of what is humanly possible is always heroic and its part of the human condition. Disrespecting life would be being a fat ass on the couch never doing anything of any importance then dying young of an easily preventable medical condition that was self induced.
I loved it. Although I'm a bodyboarder , the ocean is my passion and I can relate as a waterman. Absolute legend

Such a humble guy with the heart of the bravest of Lions, living his passion.
What a gladiator. Crazy to hear him foreshadow his future drowning experience at Cortes Bank. So hectic. Glad they were able to bring him back.

Why does he mention “Peru” if Peru hasn’t big waves...
Sebastián 110vlogs! I

Paddle out with me at Mavericks and let's see if you still think that way.

Andrea Little shut up boomer
but isnt it respecting life to the greatest extent to live life to the fullest doing what you love and being willing to die for it
I’m not impressed. Risking your life for others is the spiritual standard. Life is a gift from God , respect it.
God gave waves, these guys just aren't scared of um👌🏄♂️try surfing 1 day you'll know👌☝️
