Damn that air tank is crucial, so is the floatation wetsuits. Imagine surfing technology is the next decade. Pretty exciting, do you guys think more people will try big wave surfing with new advancements? Sure no matter what advancements, they would still need to be good surfers and be in great shape.
I hope they gave you 50% of the movie proceeds bro
You Surfing is awesome bro. Pure professional. Great to watch. Thanks for sharing
I know a dude that grew up surfing Mavericks. He wiped out one time, got held down and washed into the rocks. He went out two weeks later and got the shakes so bad that he had to go in. He never surfed Mavericks again.
He's a true God to surf something like that. But I do kinda find it funny he said he's more stoked to get back on land than the waves.
Makes it sound like he goes to Mavericks just so he can touch land again with his feet afterwards haha. Not a compelling reason to paddle put to Mavericks, but hey, to each their own
If this guy had an accent he would be a crazy Australian.
He does have an accent
Don't know how many of the people making comments in this section know who this guy is. Over a decade ago this guy paddled into the biggest wave anyone had ever successfully caught at the time - in cold water no less. Shawn Dollar is a total animal, and for him to almost drown using supplemental oxygen... that's way beyond what I'd ever expect to survive.
wow, ive been held down by little play waves at blacks, 3-6, with a nice soft fluffy sandy beach to get raked across for maybe 20_30 yrds and I was friken freekin!!, his story gives me the heeby jeebys!!. jc
God was with you brother thank JESUS 🙌
He taught me how to surf 😊
wow . i am glad he had an air tank
Lesson here is always have enough energy to get back in. I've almost drowned a couple of times and it was always when I had nothing left but the waves were too good to get out.
Where? At the local beach where the waves are 3-5ft? Lol you would never know what’s it’s like to surf these kind of waves that can kill you. I don’t either but I’m not making comments like yours….
@@HanSolo4TheWin I’ve met a lot of douche bags like you. Your very common as far as surfers go.
@@HanSolo4TheWin Shut up you shame-crippled person. The lesson is the same. Better yet clear your own shame and stop dumping it on others.
that was pretty good, can I use some of his statements in a video I am assembling? Surviving repeated attempts at death is very inspirational.
Shawn Dollar TALKS about fight to survive crazy wipeout there i fixed for you
They better have taken care of you man for that kinda work 😳
Air tank? Holy shit this guy's serious.
Yeah imagine 2000 tons or more of water falling in your head
Yeah. How do you get on an air tank while you are getting slammed?
@@ocvegasproperty My Step sister asked the same question
This is my cousin
Mavericks legendary
Creepy music to add drama. I didn’t even know people used air tanks when surfing only issue I could see is people relying on them who aren’t properly trained to handle those conditions.
People ask me...which is more dangerous - surfing or ice climbing? Let's see...drowning or falling. Surfing has "moving" variables. Ice is fixed. A "mistake" in either can lead to injury. With ice-it is usually death.
rahkin rah Yes but if you fall off ice - you made a mistake. When you're surfing, it's not even necessary to make a mistake, you know. You could did everything right but the wave would have a weird bump or something at it could just flip you around.
I ice climbing and I’m terrified of surfing. Most people ice climb on belay. If you fall you will get caught by a rope.
Nobody has ever asked you that
Eva B. Not true. Ice breaks all the time
the Jetty yo
Thats by far the worst surfing story i've ever heard that didn't involve sharks.
or robots
Laurent D'Hondt or sharks with robotic laser beams.
Air tank? He carries that while he surfs?
Yeah, I was asking myself just the same question, I don't really know what he meant saying "air tank". Maybe it's just a very little one? Who knows
lol. not
There’s two small air tanks. In the back of the suit. Well only if you’re surfing waves in the craziest places. Like in Portugal. Surfing Nazaré, you need them.
They also carry a snorkel and some a bucket and spade
Yes similar to what military pilots carry, very small can attach fairly easy to anywhere on your body. They give you about 5 min of air time. Aka HEED. For when they hit the water and need some air to escape.
I mean bruv
lmfao what are those tags
yall desperate for views
bribe his sons in my class
