- BATTLE FIT [bat-l-fit].
noun
1. The physical condition of a person ready to engage in battle: ready to battle with the enemy.
2. Mentally ready for a hostile encounter or engagement between opposing forces.
3. To struggle; strive: to enter a heightened level of physical performance in the quest for freedom.
4. Basic condition necessary when fighting giants.
" For so long the human condition has been paralysed by fear or failure. It becomes a mountain we cannot climb. Developed in our mind to stop us moving forward and conquering new fields."
This is a short film starring Glen Thurston, hitting rock bottom, being defeated by one of the most dangerous waves around. One simple mistake at this wave resulted with Glen breaking 3 ribs, severe internal bruising and 3 months in the recovery ward. This sparked a new fire within for Glen, to do what it takes, to think clearly and positively and train himself back into the person that could face his Giants once again.
In January 2013, Cyclone Oswald generated a swell, that was bigger then anything before. Glen and his team new this was the Giant, and it was time for Glen to face him alone.

Great edit! Glen is obviously a beast just for getting back in the lineup after a close to death injury. But to drop in on the wave that nearly killed him, he has some pretty strong faith in the lord. Cheers to glenny and others for giving me a video to watch when I feel down about my performance in the water that encourages me to basically dedicate my life to bodyboarding.
Keep charging man!
Congrats Glen Thurston for pushing the limits in Bodyboarding & making this sick film!
Sick vid! A little over a month ago I a sustained a syndesmotic disruption and fibula fracture during a dawn patrol session. Just last week I finally got the green light to start walking with full weight bearing, it was painful to say the least and still is but I'm making progress towards being back out in the lineup. Since I missed the last half of our south summer swells I'll definitely make up for it this winter when north shore gets its first winter swell. Aloha from Oahu.
big respect for you man, absolute sick!!!
This is good stuff. I know what went into the editing. I can appreciate what goes into charging that size of wave of that kind. Nasty. Good product. Good end product. nice.
Seriously, that was the "Ripping the pit" of today.
despite that ambulance bullshit, this is a pretty good video
THIS. IS. SICK!!!!!!
You got this keep it up on the recovery side.
thats not what the storys about man... he broke his ribs and tht affected his life ... and its a milestone that means after a while he's back and he's back to charge hard... these are huge waves man... not the hugests ofcours but huge and sick nontheless and above all its a touching story cuz he went back to the wave that broke his ribs on a sick day ... dont deuce on other peoples acomplishments bro ... especially a fellow surfer ...

Hi ,any know the name of the song?
chronic barrell badass
I agree, but let everyone have their own beliefs...
Name of the song?
hola!
i can safely say that's this is not that extra ordinary for Australian bodyboarder's, We have some real young guns that dont make movies or enter comp's but just bust air's n spin into reef pit's just for fun, just being funny cunts out on the rock with some mates.. fuck this hyped up rocky balboa waves bs. Its natural flow, passive aggressive if you will. Sorry about my ramble the waves are crap right now. peeeaacee tho
He was charging

M8 your just going out for a booger what’s the deal
