- Near death experience at Peahi (Jaws) January 14, 2018. 99 dollar Costco wave storm ✅, flippers on for slow entry into and out of water ✅, backpack full of heavy camera equipment sealed in water tight bag with no air, also known as a weight belt for scuba divers ✅, paddling out in the biggest swell of the winter at Jaws✅, timing the entry just perfect for the biggest set of waves for the day✅, I knew something bad was coming when he told his friend “hold my beer I got this” The guy in the water turned out to be a amazing surf photographer. You can check his work out on Instagram at Ryan Chachi Craig. @chachfiles
Dude came out with a backpack, flippers, and a Costco wavestorm.
I'm a youtube watcher. I surf but will NEVER be of the caliber to paddle out at Jaws. so I just watch POV's from the safety and comfort of my armchair. That being said: paddling out on a Costco foamy with a full backpack? My hat is off to you, friend. May God protect you in your future endeavors.
Hes got groceries and a new toy for Atlantis
These new food delivery apps be getting wild...now he got to call the captain and tell him his food not going to make it. 🤔
To add to that but on a serious note. I do truely understand how powerful the ocean is...it must be respected. And sure this is like what must folks have said, "It is, a professional photographer", and so mad respect to him as well.
@@moonshinemusclecar2576 I don’t know if your comment was meant to be funny, but for some reason I find it hilarious. All in a good way.
Does uber eats
deliver to the line up?
They tried real hard.
Yeah, Jaws called.
Jajajajajajajajaj
Fish supper.
Dude is a fukn hellman, heavy backpack full of camera gear my guess, cheap foamie, 6-7ft of whitewater, crazy amount of water movement, takes 3 on the head and nearly gets thrown over the falls onto a bouldery bottom before giving up on that attempt and I bet it was just one of the failed attempts before he made it, hat's off legend....if you diss this dude you're a kook.
First time surfing....and takes the jaw challenge. What a legend
You might just be stating facts ....😁
Hahahaha I'm gonna name my kid after this guy 🤣
Half glass full comment
I thought he had scuba gear on, would have been more useful

‘Several hours after John finished the bag of mushrooms, he found himself shivering and alone in a damp wetsuit, badly bruised, and with a soggy tent’
I’d love to see how the rest of this guys trip went
Funny af
Maybe on acid, on shrooms no.
@@MrRast23 apologies doctor narcotics. Mushrooms lent itself easier for the comedic purpose I was aiming for
@@leenickson5684 hahaha cheers mate!
Priceless!!!
i thought he was a cross between a kneeboarder and a skydiver!
LOL!!*...:)
Funny comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That's gold
That’s funny.
Guy rocks up, looks at the locals and says: "Cowabunga dudes. Is this a good place for me to shoot the curl and hang 10?" 😂
This guy is actually a pretty famous surf photographer. Surprised he didn’t just hop a ride on a friends jet ski or a boat
Is his name Ric Larson
💯... Ric had too much and... Missed the boat! 😹
Hope hes got good housings!😆
"When in doubt, DON'T GO OUT!!!

If the wave does not comport you must abort. - Johhny Cochrane back in his surfing days.
As Dirty Harry said, "A man's got to know his limitations."
That was Jethro. He had his lunch in his backpack and flippers on that Uncle Jed got him for Christmas.
tourist rented a softtop boogie board fins and took his tent on his back
This is what happens when K-Mart has a sale on surfboards and you can't resist a bargain.
Brada be thankful u didnt make it out. Those lickins are nothing compared to a couple long hold downs on the outside... leash breaks and then your swimming aiming for the channel and wondering why youre being sucked out to sea. Then knocked 50 yds in by a wave then sucked out then back in then sucked out then back in etc.
They say he's a Pro surf photo guy... Just hope he lets his gear go to save himself when it comes down to it. 👍💦🚬
@@bubblerings thats no pro photo guy. If he was hed be on the back of a ski with a trusted veteran driving the ski.
@@WjB_96792 You would think so... true enough!
Actually the dude did pretty good to get back without expending too much energy. Because you could tell he was exhausted trying to get back in
The 1st time I went out in a Winter swell in California I had some similar experiences. I could FEEL his struggle watching this. I Started surfing on the East Coast and learned a few things about how strong the ocean can be when I lived in Cali and even more so on trips to Hawaii and Mexico.
Yes it is a different swell...try Indonesia its even more different, like grabbing on to a passing truck
@@scottgorman7166 You think you can duck dive well until you get to Indo.
@@MindSurf248 yea you can in the channels in the reefs. Additionally not on a 6+ swell. Been to Bali in the early eighties and the paddle out was Looooong way. Thank the currents on the west coast beaches for building me up. Indonesia then is nothing like today....less people
@@scottgorman7166 Definitley, I went for the first time 2 years ago, I remember getting caught inside at an 8ft airport lefts in Bali. Nailed my duck dive, only to pop up 20 seconds later 50ms further in wondering what the hell just hit me.
@@MindSurf248 a freight train!😎
Ryan does this for a living. Gonna have a few bad days, but try he must...to put food on the table.
Ryan is the man. Few people would have made it out of that. If you get sucked another 50 yards towards the cliff it’s like getting stuck in the shore break in Waimea Bay when it’s big. Not good. He made the right decision to come in when he did.
@@Teamswank The right decision would to have never gone in the first place. I saw no good waves. Did you? Were they outside the white water and I didn't see them?
@@daviddromaine this is peahi aka jaws... all the good waves are outside
Every time you go out you learn something
As a pro half pipe skater at 11 years old im really apreciate the fact that i can walk up a ladder or some short amount of steps an roll in to my wave an it doesnt try to drown me and they call me crazy racing moto gp motocross an skating half pipes....thankfully he got back unscathed as we say in racing....that was a big board to try with....i do know this about swimming that back pack was not helping...ur body is right at the edge of boyientcy i went to a lake an they made us put sneakers on to protect are feet my legs would not float just the addition of 2 sneakers.....next time eat lunch on the beach...u didnt have any moon rocks in that backpack...i hate backpacks everyone looks like theirleaving or going on a hike.....an their just going to class....hey they are very usefull...but i just laugh because i vizual backpackers getting ready to go up everest...peace i wish i video of me getting pounded at the jersey shore for instructional purpose that was a lot of white water
He's a surf photographer, the backpack is full of his camera gear.
Know when to go and when not to go. Respect the Ocean!
Turn Turtle bruh, you already got the shell on da' back. 😎
That cracked me up bro, appreciate it
And the flippers at your tips=)
Was this guy wearing a backpack?!? Didn’t know that paddling out on a soft top longboard with fins on is a means of transportation
It’s not a backpack, it’s a parachute 🪂
It IS a means of transportation....for an oceangoing backpack?!.
Is he running away from home?
Naturaleza rules !
Happy holidays ! Bless .
*Gotta get the shot!*
This hero landed at Kahalui, went straight to Walmart and got a ride to Peahi. We salute you Chad.
no.
Comes in, “yeah, I got a couple of good ones”
Underrated comment
Another day at work. Nothing to laugh at, respect bro. He surely tried again and succeded
I think the board is a Costco soft board. Pretty sure he didn't appreciate the power of the water. He was lucky not to get more punishment.
Hey I feel for the guy but thats what a 4-5' day is in the winter in Huntington Cliffs.....keep at it
Are the flippers for in case he loses his board and gets submerged? My only guess as to why… and props to the Costco Wavestorm comment!! 🤣🤣🤣 totally made me hit the like button on this vid.
Every surfer knows that misery ….
👏🏼👏🏼Indeed
Yes sir...don't paddle out when the sets coming....but we've all been there done that
When you packed a lunch to have a picnic and watch jaws from the channel but the ocean says not today
So many armchair critics who most likely surf 2 foot slop and think they can judge a guy trying to do his job.
Wins inaugural RedBull Kook of the Winter Award
Thanks good video
He was a delivery boy with the sandwiches for the pros in line up....:)
The first time the board got tossed I noticed the wavestorm plastic fins hahaha
Does homey have a backpack and fins on? Was he planning on a picnic out there? What am I watching here?
He’s a photographer. He’s just trying to get out to the lineup.

I missed the part where he almost died.
Mike Mizzill it is not worst shore break I have seen, but it does not take a lot to kill a person if they hit their head on a rock, like towards the end of the video.
of embarassment
No near death but pretty good god dam ass kicking, that dude was getting worked🏄🍀
He should try the vitamins with beer technique. Alot of people here should try the vitamins and beer technique.
Wait, why the hell is he wearing flippers and a backpack on a surfboard? Which sport is this? Could someone clarify why he is wearing all that equipment? I am pretty confused.
Awww shit, that was a piss poor first duck dive, even for a frog on a board! 😆
Scuba Steve having a crack!
Reminds me of my first time skiing off the cornice at mammoth; lucky to be alive.
......am I having fun yet ??? 😂😂
A special special boy
Trying to escape from Australia.
“The ocean was angry my friend”
this is ryan "chachi" craig, he is a pro photog and was going out to try to shoot the wave, he has camera gear in the backpack and fins on because he was gonna get in the water
34thncrenshaw Ryan "chachi" craig should deliberate over other possible career options
he would have made it if the set of the day didn't come
Guy is a moron.
Yeah, he's a piece of shiiittt.
Was he gonna link up with a boat? How would he access his camera gear without getting it wet? Everyone talking shit probably can't get through a shorebreak. Guy was trying to duckdive heavy boulderbreak with a heavy ass rucksack and a soft top shorty. That's fucking hard work. Better to just get a bodyboard next time so he can actually duckdive with it.
This guy knows his shit. He did that pretty well considering hes paddling out to one of the biggest waves on the planet with a softtop whilst wearing a backpack and flippers.
Soft top, back pack, what could possibly go right?
far from near death experience, this guy knows what hes doing. Its just a very difficult spot and huge tides to contend with. He got out safely, which is the key.
Daniel Ecoff , looks bloody difficult, he almost made it out, felt sorry for him, all the land lubbers giving armchair criticism !
>Paddling out to Jaws on a foam Costco board
>"this guy knows what he's doing"
Pick one.
@@jupitorious7925 anyone who says land lubbers definitely has never stepped foot in the ocean
Whaaat???!!
😳😳😳
@@nickc3856 He’s a professional photographer who has been doing this for years. So we pick
> he knows what he is doing.
Cook to the max
Yeah dude did good,I was in a winter ocean,and found my self think I could get thru with out this float board and then thought I came to surf no board what's the point,hey shit happens I finally got to see and hear the real frosty,and he said it take 20 minutes to paddle out at MAV's if everything goes right,sometimes it don't go,and we look human again....thanks my dumbness my first attempt to try to surf was long before cell phones I would have love to see my 30 to r40 minutes of block headed sad ass duck diving from the beach,lucky when I gave up I was on a rented board,for the day so I just kept trying to drown myself,finish I turned to the beach beat and nobody was looking so I grab my rented board and tryed to look cool like yeah I meant to do that....
The dude rips!
Got worked. No duck diving for those logs. Good effort though
look like a foam party without the nightclub
Kai: no Whopper for you!
Signed,
The UberEats Guy
This looks like so much fun to me
So he's got a backpack and fins. I'm confused as to what exactly was his plan when he made it out.
Bet he’s a photographer
The Ocean respects none. Salute
He almost made it; on a 9.0 foamy!
Nice Costco board braddah
Wow! He was given a second chance to live life. Confidence is not wisdom by any means and it can be compared to stupidity depending on ones approach to their accomplishment. Knowledge and experience combined with confidence is the only way to achieve something great and then maybe it's worth risking everything for👍🏼.
MY MOTHERS GENERATION YOU USED TO SAY THAT YOU CANT FIX STUPID AND WHEN I LOOK AT THIS POOR SOUL, I KNOW SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT PPL LIKE THIS
A Costco rubber surfboard, fins & a backpack .... he must think this is the way to become a Navy Seal.
What's the deal with the backpack and flippers?
Excellent backpack.
Whatever he paid for it, he got a bargain.
Fins with a surfboard and a backpack. LMFAO. Tourists
Wavestorm, with a back pack, and flippers and JAWS?????.... Is this the God that Kook's pray to?
“I dont trust this ppl, will take my bag all the way up to the lineaup”.
WTF!
A backpack, fins and foamy?!
Exactly
...you've got to give it to Photographers. Think about what he has to deal with once/if he gets out............
was he going to camp at the outside???
Wavestorm surfboard, camping backpack and scuba diving fins trying to paddle out at Jaws? Did someone dare him to try that?😂
What was up with that backpack except to serve as a sail to take him in the wrong direction?
Camera equipment? He's a photographer.
@@chrishossack Yeah, figured that out after reading through comments. Funny to watch though.
That's exactly what he was trying to do. Catch a nice reform into the rocks.
Now to pick a nice place outside, sit on my board unpack my lunch from my backpack and eat a ham and cheese sandwich 🥪 😋
Dude went scuba/surfing with his lunch on his back or what... 🤣
Y has he got a parashute on
someone order food in the outside :D
Sorry for the delivery boy...
Come on guys, You know there was a time when we all we're that dude...lol we might have been 10 or 11 yrs old but still :p
Just sad he didn't make an appointment for a jet ski pickup?...at least he's okay.
Damn that water has some power.
Hard to believe this is Ryan Chachi Craig; v well known NorCal surf photographer. Knows big waves....odd if this was really him
sorry is that a wavestorm and a backpack
Got a good workout. No need for the gym today.
Madness
Time to go home bro
Why the swim fins and the bagpack ?
This is Ray a chachi
Hell of a barrel at 1:41 though
Huh flippers an a board?an a vacuum cleaner strapped to back
Im so bummed i didnt get the drone shot. do it again plz.
Looks like me on a 3ft day
So heavy.
He actually got really close to making it, and from what I could tell from this angle, made good decisions. Absolutely not a kook- just the opposite.
Man just use a bodyboard next time and kick with the fins and paddle at the same time, with a body you can also duckdive easily.
Surfboard is faster.
Looks like he's on a wavestorm.
