LMAO...I absolutely love watching these greatest wipeout series of vids, this one is super funny and entertaining, FMD he took poundings at Cloudbreak in one day..lol insane in the membrane or what...great stuff guys with these vids. absolutely brilliant, love hearing the stories..
I'm so proud of you for exposing your inner feelings at last. "when i eat it i get a rush....". Such sensitivity. A gold mine of information for use by a genuine therapist. SJH
What I'm seeing on a lot of these wipeouts (Healy's, Pete's etc) is not necessarily rider failure but the limits of the equipment. It's apparent that the board just can't do the required speed and becomes held up, causing the rider to fly off at a tangent-
i had a double under once on a 6 foot day at el porto and thought i was gonna blackout. first i panicked, but then i relaxed..i felt the euphoria and just smiled. then i just came up and sucked wind.
It sounds stupid but what he described then about being relaxed while being on the edge of death is exactly what drowning is like, many scientists have said the most peaceful way to die is drowning
I went over the falls onto a 3 foot deep sand bar during sandy on a solid 6 footer and just relaxed and accepted my fate. I was happy because I didn't hit the sand and I was kind of in a euphoric state whilst being thrashed around.
Yeah happened to me once. It was really calm, quiet, peaceful. I only realised what was happening when i touched the bottom and that jolted me out of the dreamlike state - I'd forgotten I was underwater! I got to the top pretty quickly but I was in shock for hours afterward.
garrett you are the man child. only a matter of time bro. you are going big but what is big enough. you should consider a aqua lung or a vest that inflates on big impacts. good luck superman.
It is actually very easy, most important thing. Stay down for a couple of seconds, to let it move along a bit. Then, you come up :P But, when the surf is that big.. it's just about impossible.
It was just two waves, so probably more like 20-40 seconds... but as anyone who's been held under knows, even 5 seconds feels like about 2 mins! Rare breed he is. Reminds me of the legendary 'Flea' in the pioneer days of mavericks,... both seemly enjoying being punished by the ocean.
Its not that deep. Cloudbreak just keeps you in the soup current forever! You always want to wipeout carrying the least amount of forward speed possible!
Dude should just shut up so we can enjoy the surf. Noone cares about every thought and movement and blah blah blah... Its just fun to watch and that's all.
My bit of advise is get a board that actually works, a Geoff McCoy single Gull Fin design. Talk to the right people for boards. Talk to Geoff McCoy, for a single fin for these specific waves. Those boards in this video are primitive crap. If one person listened during one of these sessions, everyone would see. In Fact. Fly me out there Surfline. I'll ride those waves on my 7'2" Astron Zot Nugget, the same design I was easily catching a 15 foot face wave on in the photo, you have, of "Delray Beach" Florida 2-8-2016, on the outside, and that was not "Delray Beach". The photo Jeff took.That was actually to the North on an outer very uncrowded reef in Palm Beach. I challenge you or any sponsor to show how Geoff McCoy single fins are light years ahead than anything anyone has ever rode. But, if you don't take me up on this challenge, it might be that, like Hollywood, you as a tribe, the corrupt surf industry, black balled Geoff McCoy out of envy, by the Busting Down the Door crew, back in the day.

Yeah, that ‘other dimension’ is the last stop before departure!
The Badass made it out!
almost every video i watch of garrett mcnamara is him wiping out on a gnarly wave
I wouldn't have wiped out on that second wave...because i would never have gone back out. Dude you are a beast! Just Awesome.
You are a legend man!!!
That dimension is a feeling that you've resigned yourself to dying and there is nothing you or anyone can do about it....been there once!
John Dalecki what happened to ya
You are a legend... 1st class waterman.
“I went in another dimension”: ok boys, who’s gonna break it to him.
mind explaining it to me? these comments are going over my head.
mad respect for that guy
I'm so proud of you for exposing your inner feelings at last. "when i eat it i get a rush....".
Such sensitivity. A gold mine of information for use by a genuine therapist.
SJH
If you relaxed at all when you meant to, you're one up on me! Congratulations! You're on your way.
this shit is sick, like the indepth description, advice for future surfers, good stuff
Euphoria feelings -> 5 seconds -> black out -> 5 seconds -> death
He was effectively 5 seconds from death
What I'm seeing on a lot of these wipeouts (Healy's, Pete's etc) is not necessarily rider failure but the limits of the equipment. It's apparent that the board just can't do the required speed and becomes held up, causing the rider to fly off at a tangent-

"I went to another dimension!"
Hehehe
+Francois Theron Haha u laught but the day u will be in a situation like that ( i know it will never happe u will not laught :p
Garrett is on a whole nother level. Talking about liking the oxegen deprivation...lol
The barrel riding advice is appreciated Garrett but my technique when I'm in barrels that big is to just wake up in a sweat.
Gmac is one of a kind.
Legend
Almost drowning.
THIS IS ENJOYABLE.
G-Macs wipe out on Mavs must of been a rush for days! Dude is on some other kind of level 😬
Superman!
balls
of
steel
love seeing his hat fly off at 2.58
Hilarious, all that’s left of him is the hat!
It sounds stupid but what he described then about being relaxed while being on the edge of death is exactly what drowning is like, many scientists have said the most peaceful way to die is drowning

glad your ok mate.
indeed!
Anybody knows what difference it makes when you grab the rail?
Aye.., karamba!!
When he says he went into another dimension of oxygen deprivation, what was actually happening was that he was beginning to drown
Ethan Elliott yah
Yeah happened to me once. It was really calm, quiet, peaceful. I only realised what was happening when i touched the bottom and that jolted me out of the dreamlike state - I'd forgotten I was underwater! I got to the top pretty quickly but I was in shock for hours afterward.
This dude is nuts but God bless him lol
The music should be Wipe Out by the Surfaries
Garrett Rules! He has the record for the biggest wave ever caught: 73 ft in Nazaré, Portugal!
you really don't know unless you've been there...
DINOSSAURO DO SURF!!!! MONSTER NO FEAR!!!!
Thanks I will try that. Especially getting rolled...
garrett you are the man child. only a matter of time bro. you are going big but what is big enough. you should consider a aqua lung or a vest that inflates on big impacts. good luck superman.
"You got some serious thrill issues man"
What is "grab the rail"?
2:00 now thats a bum slide
The last day of my trip to Panama I got cleaned up by a big double up that was like 17ft and it was the funnest thing i did that day
thats sick
Yessss mate
On your sup wave, I couldnt help but think if that board would have hit you, it would have been game over!
@alarsen54321 is ur local break teahupoo?
best thing to do underwater is stay calm
garrett..you are fuckin maaaad!
Must be a Pro, Sweetheart. Non-pros and wannabees will always drown. Sad, really.
And take my word for it.....That junk's hard! Stephen James.
Well, I can never been in anything near the size of this.
The beaches near me, are always about 3 foot, and I still tend to get scared sometimes :\
Scared? Its 3ft. How tall are you?
I think he’s being a little sarcastic
It is actually very easy, most important thing.
Stay down for a couple of seconds, to let it move along a bit. Then, you come up :P But, when the surf is that big.. it's just about impossible.
Woww
Has anyone ever tried not to panic under water? That junk's hard!
the euphoria stage of oxigen deprivation is right before u black out, he was lucky to get up
i know
What I'd give to have a pair like this guy. He's the REAL Iron Man.
surfing is like a religious experience honestly
do you think sion or foo could have survived with a special vest?
i don't know. what do you think?
He never hit bottom? Holy shit how deep was it out there.. lol
"I went to another dimension"
Did he grow up in Hawaii has that pidgin accent?
Hes actually an interdimentional space being that astral travelled from a galaxy far far away.
@@xwhite2020 He's actually a fricking idiot.
to speak pidgen, you got me raised by parents who speak pidgen.
All the meth heads speak pigeon. 🤪
or he was getting closer to his maker in heaven....to the light ya know the happy place :P
is he off tap or wat?
WTF did he do to his eyebrows ?
Dude's insane. I surfed some when I was younger but I could never have to the big wave thing. Those hold downs sound awful.
grabbed that rail
from 1:58-2:02, kinda looks fun haha, until it's over
don't bail, grab rail
Safe On third base!
@JByrnes46 its true look it up. just been verified last month
after his gnarly jaws wave....he eats shit on every good wave he catches
Hmm, I definitely don´t want to go to another dimension of oxygen deprivation.
💀💀💀
Massive kaleidoscope barrel on acid to near death
it's that easy..... ;o]
Have you ever tried to describe a wave you rode WITHOUT using your hands? Good luck.
Cannot be done
“ I like to do anything “
Id like to see you bodyboard that or tow in skimboard that
I never hit bottom at all, at all, at all, at al.......
Lol holy hell, he was prolly under for 2 plus minutes
It was just two waves, so probably more like 20-40 seconds... but as anyone who's been held under knows, even 5 seconds feels like about 2 mins! Rare breed he is. Reminds me of the legendary 'Flea' in the pioneer days of mavericks,... both seemly enjoying being punished by the ocean.
dude ur cool, however you seem to be getting off on the power of the fall....dangerousness mindset....best of luck aloha
This guy is the shit! jajaja
so he eats it on purpose what bad ass n
once the leg rope got raped around my feet, I didn't panic..but i sure as hell wanted too
lol dat junk
nah, he was just getting high off of oxygen deprivation.
this guy deff does drugs. it felt good it felt good hahaha
watch zietgiest and tell me if we should rename jesus christ to horus christ.
Its not that deep. Cloudbreak just keeps you in the soup current forever!
