[@oxokatie15]

that's out of control. have yet to see waimea look like that. sick song.

[@DrewRobb]

Was this also shot with the 5d M2? This is an excellent video, can't wait for more...

[@artfunny]

Great video the power of nature is beautiful. What is the name of the music you used?

[@cxzb]

@XXsurf990XX Most of them did drop down the face..? But to try and further answer your question just riding a wave down the face isn't as "fun," I suppose, as truly riding the wave. Most of those faces are straight down anyway.

[@Bulbashkin]

it;s awesome!!!

[@VidsJEM]

how do you survive wipeouts that big without drowning?

[@BLACK05GO1]

Those waves looked like crap. Sorry but that was some sloppy conditions.

[@yuribr9]

I've surfed in waimea beach, but the waves are not like before
not reach two meters

[@Maroleed]

@tokyobotXT what's the name of the soundtrack??

[@Maroleed]

Hey guys, anybody knows the name of this song??!

[@realtralharp]

Se eu surfo uma dessas OMG !!!!! :)

[@Ossamakilla]

Oh Hell No! I wouldnt even paddle out to the linup!

[@cxzb]

The power of these waves is stunning... And yet I've met "kooks" at my school who believe their so bad ass, who claim they would paddle out at Tahiti, Mavs., etc. Denying that they will be ripped to shreds if they get sucked over. It's kids like these that anger me and and doing so they can not recognize the true force of mother nature.

[@irwinrsteffy]

bunny waves, no just kidding

[@XXsurf990XX]

why dont they ever drop down the face? i proly sound fukkin stupid, but i dont surf big waves

[@playacuya]

las mavericks y waimea son las olas mas grandes del mundo dominadas por un hombre pero tratar de dominarlas aveces tiene su precio..

[@Quickbeam]

Great video, nice to see even Hawaii has it's share of drop in artists. In surf that big I imagine the last thing you need is to have to avoid some kook dropping in on you.

[@luisrocks4ever]

AAHHH !!! shit these are huge !!! I would so go out there... I can surf that good but I would just go out to have a gnarly wipout and then brag that I surfed WEAMEA !!! xD !!!!!! .... these dudes got some BIG MOtha FOKIN BALLZ !!! XD ... peace out bra's ...

[@jazzysnaps]

Umm you may want to tell that to the guy going over the falls at the end

[@megamania320]

imsorrygoat... theres no waves in oklahoma, theres no ocean near it for like 1000 miles, dude you have got to pay attention more in social studies... jk u were just kidding, but seriously get to class!!!

[@hokulanithedog]

i used to love watching tourists try to walk out into the shorebreak with their kids and getting stopped by the lifeguards - "what do you mean i can't go into the water??" duh!!

[@eewright2001]

Your right mililaniguy. They were comparing this swell to the biggest ever, that being the one in December 1-4'th, 1969. No way this adds up to 1969. Not even half the size of 1969 swell.

[@orangetransformer]

yeah go try do anything besides go straight on a wave that has a 40 foot face you have no idea how incredibly huge those waves are and their paddling into the wave

[@luckiezz802]

@srpilmer umm u got nething nice to say?? relly if u aint got nuthing nice to say dont say nething at all. CAN U SURF IN THOSE CONDITIONS...sheesh :P

[@GuitarFish458]

That was actually really cool editing! thumbs up if you agree :D

[@oceanaocean]

Thanks, I am in North Cal and this is what they said on the radio today 50 feet! Has anyone ever surfed a fifty foot wave?

[@rodtemplar]

Damn, once you are committed you gotta go, and hopefully you aint the dude taking off deepest with all the drop ins!

[@stothecb]

I was on the north shore for the first time last week. Locals that paddle into this and pipeline are freakin nuts!

[@rainarzufall]

on the Movie "Riding Giants" I saw that Movie in cinema 2004 they talk about Waimea Bay and many Surfers die there.

[@junmae808]

epic music man! lol @ the 2 guys riding 2 " away from each other....that must suck to get sucked away like that

[@Butown]

see that one guy get snaked by the kook at 1:12 when he tried to drop in. he was probably from the valley

[@12thst1000]

SO SICK! the three people who dislike this dont appreciate the intensity of this video

[@srfrr]

1:13 SNAKE! Love watching these HEADZ straight gun down the face of these monsters!

[@GuitarFish458]

i really do think of that as an easy duckdive

[@cxzb]

@whatthefudge2009 swellinfo, I've used it for about a year and it's dead accurate.

[@InfectedBeats]

God damn video goes perfectly with Immediate Music... their music is far too epic

[@Enrico.Gambino]

OMG see the ocean so dark is so scary! I also know that the water is cold!

[@orangetransformer]

great quality man come out with like a full better version of it

[@mctapout187]

i used to go out with a mcdonalds tray and catch some 8 footers

[@yoelbena19]

there's a couple surfers out there without wetsuits i think

[@Felyn01]

The three guys who disliked were the three who wiped out =P

[@CarolinaLiechtenstein]

Dude, who does your score. He or she is F'n good. Great job.

[@Maroleed]

@NeptuneSurfing Great video, what's the name of the music??

[@tokyobotXT]

Excellent footage and the soundtrack is perfect. Well done.

[@BABYSUN1]

[@Maroleed]

[@rhurbarb]
