This edit is an excerpt from our surf movie entitled IMMERSION the movie, which has been awarded best movie at the Maui Film festival
'BEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN" Barry Rivers [ Maui Film Festival director].
Code Red, was to date one of the biggest recorded swell in history. One surfer, Nathan Fletcher caught the biggest wave that day. An amazing ride in the darkness of Teahupo'o tube. Will he come out safe and sound? This ride made all people on boats wondering, wondering, eyes fixed on the bold surfer...until the wave caught up with all on boats and created chaos!
Teahupoo is the most dangerous wave in the world. Many gets hurt. A show of unbelievable wipeouts from daredevils.

my beer can do this, hold me
lolll
Haha!
I don’t get ir
How can u tell your at a gay bbq? The hotdogs taste like shit!
Salmon *fish noises*, it’s a take off on, “I can do this, hold my beer.”
Unreal.. Incredible video!! Mother nature is no joke. I respect these warriors for dancing with her.
ILL ORBIT real talk...
It could be a him
@@williamwest4436 mother* nature, not father nature hahahha
ILL ORBIT its pure beauty! So perfect!❤️
I just like watching people get smashed by waves :3
You know it's dangerous when other surfers yell "don't do it!"...
I have so much respect for these guys. This is absolutely insane. Look at the size of these waves. I’m so terrified of big waves. These guys are true masters of this sport
I surfed that wave really well over and over again, it was easy . . . and then I woke up and was glad to go to my little funky job!!
aloma st julian LOL
Funky job lmao
Dream on man 😂
"It was never about money for us it was about us against the system. That system that kills the human spirit. We stand for something to those dead souls inching along the freeways in their metal coffins. We show them that the human spirit is still alive" Bodhi
What’s your funky job? Learn to live a little gotta die sometime dude surfs up hell yea 🏄♂️ 🌊 🌞
I'm not a surfer. I know nothing about it, but damn that was an awesome video.

Republic strong same
Republic strong ye
I am a surfer and I know nothing about this. This is on a different planet, in a different galaxy in a different plane of existence.
Good stuff big waves cool man
jesus christ that is HEAVY.... imagine a thousand kilos of water pile driving you into the ground....
Those guys are CRAZY
Paxus and then having to try to survive these
much, much more than a thousand
Thousand?? It’s MILLIONS OF TONS OF WATER OR BILLION
More like 10,000 pounds
water is 1kg per litre, those waves would be hundreds of billions of litres
Even a 4 or 5 foot wave can pummel you, I can’t even imagine getting pitched over the falls after falling on one of these monsters. Much respect !
You forgot to mention, it's not just a ride over the falls one time. It's a ride over the falls and getting slammed then a ride over the falls again and maybe a third time while you're getting shagged underwater during a major Maytag session, then finally making it to the surface for air!
Knarls for sure bruh!! 🌊
"The sea was angry that day my friend, like an old man sending back soup in a deli."
Tom Fisher....epic comment of the year.
Glad someone's paying attention!
Tom Fisher is it a Titlest
Cos-tanza
lol ...
Maximum Respect for these world class athletes. Amazing.
Genius music selection..this choir voices sounds so legit on this waves, incredible!
DAMN!!! I'll just sit here watching this on TH-cam from the comfort of my den thank you very much.
When i moved close to the sea, like a 5 minute walk, i bought a longboard and a wetsuit and went on trying to learn to surf because i've always loved to be in the water. After about 15 times i just had to quit. The wall of murky water coming towards you, getting up and then falling off the board, being pulled under, feeling the power of the sea/current was just too overwhelming and scary after a while. And this was only the North Sea hahaha Much respect for these guys, brilliant movie.
Willem you could’ve taken at least a couple of lessons before you gave up like that.
I didn't gave up because of the actual surfing, i quit because of Thalassophobia.
"From Wikipedia
Thalassophobia (Greek: θάλασσα, thalassa, "sea" and φόβος, phobos, "fear")[1] is an intense and persistent fear of the sea or of sea travel. Thalassophobia can include fear of being in large bodies of water, fear of the vast emptiness of the sea, and fear of distance from land. It can also include fear of the unknown, of what lurks beneath."
**Surfer sees tsunami in the distance**
Surfer: THATS RAD DUDE!!!!
6:59 that man just gave up on life.
He prob died
Poseidon has left the chat
One of my favorite TH-cam videos ever. Tim did a fantastic job on this!
that footage is amazing, when you can see how heavy that volume of water rolling over top is. Incredible.
Ooooo
Haha...old vid,but just caught myself holding my breath along with these absolute LEGENDS!
That was intense!!!! "danger is my business" These guys are unbelievable. Epic footage. Nature is so powerful.
having sat in a ski boat for some swells a few years ago here.. I can personally assure you that these waves are so heavy in person..... and angry. They were smaller than this day for sure and still were fierce.
Yah i fuckin bet. Such a terrifying force of nature
any day is smaller than this, biggest its ever been
I got caught by a 3 foot ocean wave near Nazaré when I was just having some fun with the waves, right as I turned to go back to shore. That washing machine experience? Totally true. Just ride it and you'll be fine but it sure was an interesting experience. I was also spitting sand for a day or so. Totally worth it though :)
But that was just 3 feet. I can't imagine the power one of these waves can hammer you with. Lethally dangerous.
@Frischeparadies the only country that matters uses the standard system so fuck you and your metric system bitch boy
Frischeparadies-
99% have 2 feet. 'They' can usually figure out the rest...
Usually
I've surfed all my life, but that was WAY out of my league! Respect. It had my pulse racing!
Yep me too, I had big balls surfing but not that big. Respect for them
The filming is incredible...just watching it got me SHOOK! Period.
1 of the few waves where there are even fewer words to describe the unimaginable powers, I grew up Southeastern coast of the USA, 15 foot hurricane swell is the biggest I have been in and just knowing how powerful that was I've been watching these videos of this break for years back when cloud break was the big deal, this wave is arguably the most dangerous and most rewarding, when Laird Hamilton pulled off his wave I remember being paralyzed trying to wrap my head around this beast. If you arent at peace with yourself and your world then this wave isnt for you, the thick of the lip is bigger than most waves average surfers ride, if ever given the chance I just want to be on a boat in the channel just to hear it feel the spray and watch people cheat death
Mein Leben lang wollte ich dir etwas machen - bin stumm vor Bewunderung - und träume immer noch..... Wie großartig diese Sportler sind, unfassbar
Diese Spitzenklassesportler sind!!!!!
Agree it’s a ridiculous wave but I still think cyclops and the Right in Western Australia are on another level on their day. Terror vault do an awesome video on the Right that shows it
Wow! Footage is as incredible as the waves!
This was so scary yet so beautiful. Kudos to the guys that got on there
To me, the shot at 8:28 is the most intriguing in this entire video. Watching that mass of water rolling away in the other direction with nothing else on the horizon is absolutely unreal
Tim, I had chills numerous times. Your captures were brilliant.
“Arthur... I have a plan, all we need is faith and money!”
-Dutch Van Der Linde
And this is why i told Dutch that i didn't want to come here.
I was gonna make that joke
All we need is money and time
🛑
Charles would slay this
Incredible video. I don't know where surfers find the courage to do that. Loved the slow motion coverage of the waves.
You know, there are times when Earth simply demands respect!
Absolutely mind blowing footage🤯!!! These men are INSANE, so much respect for these brave men It's crazy how a wave so beautiful could be so deadly. Awesome video!
I don't surf or watch anything about surfing but that was fucking insane
Cody Deforest I surf but only in like 5 foot waves at the biggest, waves like this make me piss my pants. Even 5 foot waves wipe you out and hold you under.
Exactly.. and the camera always minimizes the height and overall intensity of waves.
Tahiti is next next level. Bailing on that would be like jumping out of a moving truck into a spinning washing machine. You really just wouldnt wanna do it.
I'll stick with my 3-5 ft waves. Ty
@@vibezz7209 9
Lived in Hawaii for 3 yrs, saw many awesome waves, this is the most unbelievable I've seen, wowwwww!!! Pure Adrenaline!!!
One can appreciate the commentary on this. Great video. Thick waves
Most amazing surfing. Today, the waves lost. Good show mates.
Mate... that's bloody gnarly
I was on the edge of my couch! kudos to the sport and the people with the balls to do this. do or die. excellent video.
Потрясающее видео. Меня лично вид таких огромных волн в движении почему-то успокаивает. Благодарю 💛
Waves do scare me..as a child I was on a beach in Cornwall in the UK...standing a couple feet from another girl who was about my age which was about 11..but this wave seemed to come from no where she caught it,I didn’t.
She was literally swung off her feet completely ,did a somersault and stood back up on her feet..her whole front of her body was grazed by the sea bed,her face was scratched to bits as was her chest and legs...she spluttered choking and screaming.
It didn’t get me though,I was a couple feet back from her..since then,I know the power of the sea...so l only paddle very close to shore.
Thoses waves look horrendous..
susan brown you were both young, you could easily learn how to navigate through waves and go farther out, not much of a reason to if youre not surfing or something similar. But the big waves like these? Theres no groing through those
susan brown shut
Happened to me too, there were waves of 1.5 metres high (4-5 feet) and I didn’t know the power of the sea. So I went playing in it. Then a wave hit me. That was horrible. And I lost my swimming pants in it (NO JOKE) and the whole beach was laughing (200 people and that beach)
Pussy
Well u shouldnt not want to go further out just because of a person getting grazed by a wave u must understand the other and it will be fine but it depends on and swell and sandbar and know how the waves r before going out
Jet ski cleaned up at 9:19....
What a day..!!.... Hectic.
A groundbreaking day for big wave surfing in general, and in particular, for Teahupo...
Absolutely epic. A day that will always be remembered throughout surfing history.
Max respect to all the legends who charged Chopes on that swell.
Love watching this, I am a land mammal. You guys rock.
The ever best shot, very nice.
When I first clicked on the video not even watching it to far in... I took one look at those waves and said... "Thats a big bag of, NOPE"
Do you think my Boogie Board can handle this?
Sean Jordan nah just take your floaties
Nunyo Biswax That's still a bit overkill, just one should do it.
Yes but only on smaller waves
Sean Jordan they pioneered this wave actually! Probably not at this size though. Boogie boarders always go much gnarlier waves than surfers.
boogie boards are too slow for a wave this big
Nice. Great Production and voice-over. Thanks.
7:23 You can see the water rushing into the valley before the wave... truly awesome !!
I feel for their MOMS!
Teahupo'o. Scariest waves I’ve ever seen, and I’m from Hawai’i.
Those waves looked like a serpent swallowing the air and anything within the coil of its grasp. Totally unholy and powerfull beyond belief. To the brave that tried riding it I take my hat off since you are NUTS!!!
My heart was racing just watching that! I'm not a surfer but big respect to those guys!! That's some crazy shit man!
The trailer for suicide squad 2 looks interesting
Cool but I thought the point of this was surfing?
Huh? 😒
so much for that
@@basticlark4602 cool but I thought the point of this was suicide.
i only understood what you meant after watching the video
From Illinois, never seen the ocean in my life. But this is my dream and what I want to do. Moving to Hawaii next year. 🤙🏻
Just go to Lake Michigan and pretend it's the ocean lol
It's amazing to have this on video. Well done men!
Perilous rides.....pumps adrenaline just watching.
To think anyone could survive a whipeout on any of these waves is more impressive then clearing it IMO.
who produced this tho?
lordbyron0011 Tim Bonython Productions www.surfingvisions.com thanks for watching
Why 480p?
lordbyron0011 lol , yeah pretty distracting!
lordbyron0011 2:32
lordbyron0011 ilol
Excellent film!
Massive balls of steel and super skilled..... I can only imagine that feeling charging through that Beaut!!! 😎😎😎
6:09 wave leaps up larger, faster & sharper than any wave I have ever seen. The volume & force of nature captured in this footage is outstanding. I watch A LOT of media, & I place this capture in the top 3 most impressive I have seen on any subject. The 18 mins is great & necesary for contextual framing, but check what happens @ 6:09-6:15
yep. as soon as i saw that i had to rewatch it 3 times. absolutely crazy
Yeah nah mate
Jonty Warren destination fucked
Alex Saylor one way ticket
Jonty Warren , I’m Australian too
Waves bssurgers
heaps sick aye
Some of the best footage iv"e seen
Well done, Tim!! 2 Thumbs way up!!
This seems like a select group. They all know each other and are brothers.
Beautiful, terrifying, bewildering...the size of them thar waves! And the balls of these guys -- or is it craziness -- or maybe part of the brain is missing having to do with survival. Man! That is some awesome shit! Would give a million bucks to watch that up close.
That wave honestly doesn't look any bigger than 40 ft. If that's tahitis biggest swell, im Santa clause. One dude broke the record for surfing a 108ft wave. Awesome
Monk Kenyon but that was at Nazare, Portugal. This could be tahitis biggest swell
@@aipod86 Nazare's are taller; these waves are WAY thicker!
12:28
OH MY GOD ! This is the Best Big Wave Footage , I've Ever Seen !!! :) Totally Narly Man !!!
Words don't give credit for those Wave Warriors. :)
So Impressive ! Old school surfer , and that's just nuts :) Bro's ! BIG UP,S !!! :)
Freakn Awsome , Inspirational !
It does not get , better than this !!!
The lip of that wave is so thick, the sheer volume of water in that Barrell and the way that it jacks up. Purely in awe and absolutely mind-numbing!
Its that second part of the wave that comes blasting through thats so scary!!
Man, the biggest wave i've ever surfed is like 4ft and it still took some pursuading to get me to do it.
Great video! Much love from Russia!
Absolute MAD respect for these surfers!
It looks like the most beautiful but unforgiving wave on the planet.

this is just pure lunacy. and only The ozzies, Hawaiians and a hand full of yanks could or would ever attempt do it.
Corz Illa Hawaiians are Americans too...
Corz Illa south africans ? spot on
infloslinger sorry but Tahitian created surfing ...
the brits dominate the surfing scene... do your research
Ludwig Wittgenduck salt
You know it's dangerous and you still keep doing it!
Respect Guys from other Dimension !!!
"When Raimana got hurt everyone got scared"...yeah because he surfed the spot years before anyone else, will always go out there and still got hurt! Nathan Fletcher's wave though....
I believe Dyl has been riding Teaupoo from the early days when it was relatively unknown, maybe discovering it while being part of Billabong’s Adventure Division. Many of the most renowned locals use his boards for the wave and trust in his knowledge of the wave. I grew up watching Dylan surf and I can attest that he is fearless in the scariest ocean conditions. Dylan and Laurie have solidified their place in the big wave community as the ones to watch and to follow..
Non-surfing friend: I can do this!
Literally everyone: Do you have a death wish?
It's a really great video. I'm looking forward to your next video.^^
Incredible footage. Well done!
Water surfers whose skills are amazing..
Good,very good..
I’ve surfed waves in a paddling pool. Basically the same thing sign me up
I watched a wave at the beach once. Nazare, hit me up.
You dont know what big waves are until you ride the tide maker at Center Parks Cumbria, some of those Mothers are 8 or 9 inches high. You have to show it respect or it will swallow you up in a heartbeat 😒
I once felt a rain drop so I guess I’m going to Mavericks
Dude your paddling pool lmao these waves are so much bigger
Cadam2019 omg no way
now dats a big ride.wipe out ride the lighting .thanks for sharing.God bless
One of the greatest videos of all time. I've gotta do this
500 Tons of water falling on top of you, is Nutz!~ Wow! Great Video!~ Be Safe!~
This is more like an Enya concert than a surfing video.
Outstanding footage!💪🏻
Amazing, simply amazing!!!!!!!!!
My chest started to hurt watching some of these wipeouts I’ve been in waves half that size and it hurts to take it on the head
Man ive been in some big surf before but they are out of there minds . shit
nobody cares. pipeline is a crowded shitshow and your were probably one of the dudes thats always on the shoulder
haha so true
I live in waialua. pipeline is one of my homebreaks. "almost double overhead" man are you joking? thats like 10 to 12. im sponsored by 662 and empire. U ever been to keikis? its a hell of a lot heavier than pipeline
Mike Hunt don’t be a douche about it move on...
Mike Hunt bet your not sponsored
There must be something good about being a surfer. There's always so humble and cheerful.
There are no words for the BALLS that these guys have.
cool! It is necessary to go to Tahiti!
Vincent Shields no you get waves like this in Skegness. Pick up a surf board from the pound shop and you’re hot to trot.
i failed on a 2 foot wave :D
being terrified is the respectful and appropriate response to waves like these: But those surfers...geez
11:03,11:45, 12:22 & 14:41 I guess were the scariest moments in surfing history EVER captured on film. I couldn’t breathe just watching
damn this is truly how insane teahupoo can actually get!
3:28
nope. Nope. NOPE!!!!!!
H E L L. NOOOOOOPE.
Looks like a monster
The waves... they're mesmerizing...
Nathan Fletcher, making a dream come true.
