Surfer @MattBromleySurf and more of the best pro surfers experience some of the biggest waves in their lives in 'High Surf Warning'. Watch the full episode: outside.watch/...
That's funny ! I know exactly how you feel ! I've Surfed since '72 and my longest hold down was at the Northside of the Oceanside Pier on a 4' Low Tide Mini-Thumper !!! I was still laying on my board pinned to the bottom for what seemed like 20 seconds....probably like 6 seconds in reality. I was literally laughing under water. Finally me and my board bobbed up and out of the water ! I still laugh today ! I have no idea how these Badass Big Wave Chargers can do what they do ! They are truly some of the Greatest Athletes on the Planet ! Until you realize what the POWER OF THE OCEAN is You Will Never Know How Badass These Men and Women Truly Are !!!!
Maybe not ,, when that wind gets under your board especially up the top your essentially knackered. It did look not bad paddle in position before the pitch of the lip and the wind pulling him back up .
I went up and around in a 10+ft curler boogie boarding when I was a kid. I didn't get a breath before it took me down to the bottom, knocked me around, and held me to the floor for what seemed like forever. I was amazed by the power. If I didn't know what was going on, I would've thought I was being beat up and drowned by someone. It just held me down and wouldn't let up.
there is a fine line in reactive intuitive actions sports where the anxienty / being scared sensation can be the trigger knowing to be close to the right spot but also close to the the unknown
I swam in pre-hurricane choppy water precisely one time. That shit is coast guard level terrifying. (I even had goggles and flippers). Still terrifying. Everything is chaos. Physics is almost impossible to predict. Cross currents and undertow is everywhere. Bring a longboard if u do that lol. And preferably on a beach with lifeguards (or friends on boat or waverunner).
I grew up on the North Shore across Keike beach learned how 2 swim there almost drowned from the waves once. The power and how it moves at that beach is unlike any other, the size of waves I used to rush as a teen I would never even think about entering the water now. This guy is lucky to be alive glad u made it bro🌺🌴😊
It’s not as bad as you think. It’s really mental. I tried getting comfortable under water by going to a pool and holding my breath under water. Panic sets in after 3 seconds if you’re not used to it. I managed to work my way up to 30 seconds of holding my breath and I realized now that I’ve broke that mental barrier it’s actually a lot easier to go without air than you think. Being in waves is a bit different though because you can’t tell if your ass is facing the sky or the ocean floor 🤣 unless you tug your leash with your foot.
@@Samuel-gv9rc it's funny you say that because I surfed a really big hurricane swell in Florida. I was the only guy to to make it out. Took off on like a triple overhead Florida wave which is huge for Florida and I fell and it was the first time in my my life that when I was underwater I didn't know which way was up or down and I didn't have that blowing the bubbles knowledge. So I told myself hey I got to go this way fast and if I'm going the wrong way I'm dead I'm going to drown. My leash has been snapped off board was gone I was like 4 Piers out not moving. Was Gona wave my hands up at my buddy to get help but I'd rather die out there than be lame and stir up panic so I just found a way to swim in while getting demolished. Super gnar body surfing. My Barbados soup bowls story is gnarly to
@@Samuel-gv9rc I actually think I'm going to start training like that. I'm my local YMCA pool. I don't know if the lifeguards are going to be too fond of that training. Probably got to let him know beforehand
@@hamonrye9823 yeah I surf in San Diego and we get pretty gnarly waves fairly regularly. I did all that underwater exercise way before I started surfing and I’ve never panicked under water. I’ve heard of the blowing bubbles thing but i don’t think I’ve ever been so far out where I wouldn’t be able to touch the ground and then go back up fairly quickly. When I’m under water I’m usually more focused on covering my head so I don’t hit my board and getting a quick breath in so I can dive back under if I need to lol. Surfing in a hurricane sounds metal though! I think most of surfing is just comfort in the water. The swell is an illusion of how deep you’re really going. The water is a friend that likes to wrestle with you sometimes. Trust it, embrace it.
I always preferred body surfing or skimboarding for that reason lol. Almost drowning a few times was enough for me. Also, surfboards were kinda expensive.
Growing up my hometown breaks would get double overhead regularly and I almost died a couple times. People who haven’t experienced the power of the ocean can’t fully appreciate what these big wave riders do.
Remember "Point Break" Reeves walks by surfer dudes who are walking away from the closed out surf...they tell him, " Mate, it's death on a stick out there." That's what I think when I see something as insane as this
I honestly don’t know how you can actually go out on waves like that let alone on a 7 bye 2 piece of board and then try and ride this monstrous we wave and use all do it for fun
I slammed into smooth sand on a 5 foot wave once...and that hurts like woah. To be fair, I was and am a terrible surfer lol. Seriously: I fell all the time and never even owned a surfboard. Fun sport tho. Shallow surf and a sizeable wave packs a wallop tho. I am surprised more surfers do not wear helmets tbh. If I had hit my head on coral or a rock ... I could have drowned.
60 seconds is the longest you can get held under?...really,you can drown in 4 ft...the velocity and curl can kill you...ask anyone who has had a death revival ...many swimmers and surfers...
The violent movement of your body makes it very hard to hold your breath also. I can hold my breath for 1:30. But I e nearly drowned after 20 sec hold downs.
I heard that the longest it’s gonna hold you is around 60 seconds so if you can relax and hold your breath for 60 seconds and just enjoy the ride you can live most big wave breaks
It’s not the 60 seconds, it’s that you’re likely elevated heart rate from paddling and the adrenaline and then have to hold for 60s while feeling like you’re getting punched, only to come and have another 3-5 seconds to get your breath back to do it again. It’s no joke. You have to stay calm in the face of what seems to be death.
Incorrect: Watch surfers talk about this. Those waves can literally kill you by literally breaking your entire body. Tons of water falling on ya ain’t no fun
They weren't scared! They just knew that the wave was difficult to make. They are warriors and of course they have fear, but they are trained to go despite the fear. Having fear is different than being scared!
Generally, surfers have a tether attached to their board at the ankle. If they are smart, they have also measured tides/depth and made sure there are no rocks or coral reefs near their chosen spot. (I used to snorkel often, and occassionally I would move a large rock on to the shore if it was just random af in a tourist surf spot) If one wipes out, they will just hold their breath for 10 seconds then grab their board when they surface. Some people who are high level skill will surf without the ankle tether, because at that point the risk of an entanglement is greater than losing their surfboard. (They can tread water for hours, and there are people nearby to help.)
Sucks when u have time to actually think about things for a few seconds before you get rolled over by a monster. Almost, nope, doomed from the start. Never had a chance but you get the award for the biggest balls for charging em. I know I would've been like the rest of those guides paddling like madmen to get over that sucker. I've been there, I may to get over the top only to discover a bigger one building up way outside. Of coarse it started to break I ditched my board and five down hoping to get under it. I remember I thought I was good😮, like I'd escaped its wrath, all of a sudden I was being thrashed around violently, what I imagine it would be like to be in a giant wash machine
They could have run this clip a few more seconds 😅😂
Same thought!
must be on TH-cam somewhere
Teased us
Where? WTF
WTF???
Whatever something told you to go owes you a big apology.
But he survived
@@sharondavis7493Sherlock Holmes 😅
Right lol
Yes !!!!
I've had 1 lesson on 3 feet waves, and this is basically how i describe my experience 😂

😊😊eere😂
Shoulder to head high is my Mavericks.
WHY IN THE HELL WOULD YOU NOT THINK WE ALL (STILL) WANT THE COMPLETION TO THIS INTERVIEW !!!
I guess he lived to tell the story.
He *wasn't* "in a good spot" as it turns out...
Maybe not ,, when that wind gets under your board especially up the top your essentially knackered.
It did look not bad paddle in position before the pitch of the lip and the wind pulling him back up .
If the locs back off it, you know it's a death sentence
Thank God He made it.. !!! What an Awesome Experience..!!!
Would’ve been more of an awesome experience if he had made the drop.
Why do they sometimes cut the video at the end?
Maybe because somebody’s hurt, and they hide it.
Glad to hear that you're alive to tell us what you experienced from that set.
I went up and around in a 10+ft curler boogie boarding when I was a kid. I didn't get a breath before it took me down to the bottom, knocked me around, and held me to the floor for what seemed like forever. I was amazed by the power.

Did you survive it?
@@conquester4890😂
At least you had flippers to swim back up 😂
And what you thought was 10ft was only 5ft
10+ FT as a kid 😂 hmmm maybe 10+ inches
At least we know he survived!
I suppose that's the problem : adrenaline junkies interpret 'scary' as 'well this feels right'
There is a fine line between brave and stupid
there is a fine line in reactive intuitive actions sports where the anxienty / being scared sensation can be the trigger knowing to be close to the right spot but also close to the the unknown
God was with you 💯
No he/she/it wasn't. He/she/it was too busy overseeing the murdering of thousands of kids in Palestine. 🤗
AMEN TO THAT…. 🙏✨🙏
At least you had the balls to go brother! Go big
Or go home. That's what the Drs say when I show up in the ER with injuries. "Man, you either go big or go home, don't chya." LOL
The power of the ocean is unbelievable
I swam in pre-hurricane choppy water precisely one time. That shit is coast guard level terrifying. (I even had goggles and flippers). Still terrifying.
Everything is chaos. Physics is almost impossible to predict. Cross currents and undertow is everywhere.
Bring a longboard if u do that lol. And preferably on a beach with lifeguards (or friends on boat or waverunner).
That's one big azz chunk of water. Im sure it landed on him so delicately.
Beautiful Wave.
Нет : эта мощ .. лавины .. и контроля нет над неи раслабся мыслена на даске кагда накроет

Eddie Would Go!
He was another of those folk that walked amongst us mere humans
Eddie went. 🎉

I've surfed Waimea Bay. I can relate. Pipe is blue. Sunset is green. Waimea is BLACK !
When something tells you to “just go” what it’s really saying is don’t even think about it.!!! 😅😅
To live and tell the story is almost as good as a tube ride.

Esa onda es impresionante, carajo eres único como pudiste montarla ? Si sabes lo que haces , chico malo bien por ti .
You have balls of steel, my brother🎉🎉🎉🎉
40 seconds held under would be death for me

The bravest of the bunch
Why is the clip so short!!
Because it's a "short".
@@ianrawlings2546 A few seconds longer it would still be a short
Why do people make these shorts insufferable short? 👎
Devil on his shoulder 😈
Lol remember so many gorgeous "do it" that were too late 😅
For waves like that, is it technically safer to do the jetski towing method?
It seems like you need alot of forward momentum for that.
I’ve ridden waves like this before. You need to fully commit and not hesitate.
Crazy that there was a SUP out there, that's impressive
If you don’t surf you have no idea how scary this is.
Lol, I don't surf , but seeing people surf in general scares me quite a lot , and then seeing people surf on a monster wave......., 😅
The giant brass balls makes it a heavy wipeout.
Every Hawaiian in the water knew it wasn't make able. You got lucky, Rick Cane.
Amazing people survive after getting so pounded by massive waves.
I always preferred body surfing or skimboarding for that reason lol. Almost drowning a few times was enough for me. Also, surfboards were kinda expensive.
He looked up and said: i could really use a fosters after this
Sweet survival! 😁🏄♂️
So I had my first surfing lesson and I got wiped out two times in a row remember, I’m 11 I am very tiny I was terrified 😢❤
It’s like when you order a burger and they give you the bread and salad but not the meat 😅
My friend did something like that and he cracked three ribs and his femur and a vertebrae in his back.
Somehow made it back in.
Me after getting slammed by an 8 footer 😂
Red Bull gives you wings
Monsters make you an anchor
Because it's so much more exciting to watch the guy talk about it than it would be to watch the wipeout.
Growing up my hometown breaks would get double overhead regularly and I almost died a couple times. People who haven’t experienced the power of the ocean can’t fully appreciate what these big wave riders do.

I actually believe this comment
BALLS
What amazes me about this video is that he could even surf the wave at all without a jetski tow.
Patrick Swayze said in the movie Point Break, " If you want the ultimate, you have to be willing to pay the ultimate price. "
Bad example lol. Not all surfers are bank robbing sociopaths.
Imagine breathing out everything and tumbled. Breath holds on exhale are killer intense. Apparently the Vagus nerve.
Shorts are not meant for every clip, And i don't even know where to find the full clip....
I've wiped out on waves like 10 feet,and I thought at times I might actually drown. Falling riding a wave that big... I don't know.
I slammed into smooth sand on a 5 foot wave once...and that hurts like woah. To be fair, I was and am a terrible surfer lol. Seriously: I fell all the time and never even owned a surfboard.
Fun sport tho.
Shallow surf and a sizeable wave packs a wallop tho. I am surprised more surfers do not wear helmets tbh. If I had hit my head on coral or a rock ... I could have drowned.
60 seconds is the longest you can get held under?...really,you can drown in 4 ft...the velocity and curl can kill you...ask anyone who has had a death revival ...many swimmers and surfers...
The violent movement of your body makes it very hard to hold your breath also. I can hold my breath for 1:30. But I e nearly drowned after 20 sec hold downs.
Who's this charger?
Jordy Smith's younger brother...
Jordy does not have a brother..only a sister.This is Matt Bromley.
The way the clip cut off I guess he didn’t make it😂
thats a scary place to be. Amazing to survive that without injury at the very least. Thats a massive amount of adreneline
Mis respetos para este gran surfer, me quito el sombrero. Es una montaña cayendo encima. Saludos
I heard that the longest it’s gonna hold you is around 60 seconds so if you can relax and hold your breath for 60 seconds and just enjoy the ride you can live most big wave breaks
It’s not the same as 60 secs on the couch. Let me tell you.
Most people will be unconscious after 20 seconds.
@@oliverlennard ya I’ve been held under for probably 10 or so and that’s a damn lifetime 🤣😂
Yeah also be prepared for the wave after lol
It’s not the 60 seconds, it’s that you’re likely elevated heart rate from paddling and the adrenaline and then have to hold for 60s while feeling like you’re getting punched, only to come and have another 3-5 seconds to get your breath back to do it again.

Fearful is a synonym of scared.
What's his name? So i can look for the full interview
Shudnt have been out there😭‼️ Mother Nature ain’t playin games!!!
Somebody knows the name of the whole video ?
wave looks like nazare so search "nazare wipeout" u should find it easy
'High Surf Warning', link in description
From someone who does not swim, does a surfer survived by holding on to his board?
Generally, surfers have a tether attached to their board at the ankle. If they are smart, they have also measured tides/depth and made sure there are no rocks or coral reefs near their chosen spot. (I used to snorkel often, and occassionally I would move a large rock on to the shore if it was just random af in a tourist surf spot)
If one wipes out, they will just hold their breath for 10 seconds then grab their board when they surface.
Some people who are high level skill will surf without the ankle tether, because at that point the risk of an entanglement is greater than losing their surfboard. (They can tread water for hours, and there are people nearby to help.)
Love these Videos ...❤❤❤❤😊
Matt Bromley, ledgend
Now thats a sea.
Who is this,sounds like a South African.
It's @MattBromleySurf
" Prepare for impact"!😮!!
Yessah!!! Go get um, no scade um🤙🏽🤙🏽
So the video is saying that everyone was right to be scared.
Eddie would GO!!!! 😂😂😂😂
The only info is that he lived to talk about it basically
The Mosasaurus is in there somewhere
Was it worth it?
Dude on a paddleboard
Yeah, something told you
Why not take a moment to identify the man talking?
Trestles on a mediocre afternoon...
The only way this could have been worse is if he had gone over the falls!!! 🤙
BTW, Shout out from the West Coast (Sthrn Cali)...
AUSTRALIANS..,...❤❤❤ THEM ...there so Real...amd AWESOME 👍👍👍😎❤
H you were in a good spot to get f***** up😂😂😂😂 happens to the best of us dude
No! Everyone was scared to be in his POSITION.
I'm wandering what that something was😂
Who is theguy, where it happened?
Naaah,no biggie he is alive
#Outsidewatch , Who edits your shorts? I'm not even gonna bother watching your other stuff because I think i will get shorted an ending
So, everyone else was right 😂

Lucky for brown jocks mate.
Cut this clip way too short
Where is this Jaws? Hawaii?
Yeah same thing happened to me hard offshores and free fell but I made it and the wave was a lot bigger. Where's my video
Scary impact!!
Did he survive that?
I simply would have died
Con 46 que tengo y toda la vida queriendo practicar y llegar a tener cierto nivel yo empiezo a sentir que ya nunca lo are.que pensáis?
Do whatever you want and be smart about it?
Wow very lucky no harm.
Look his face😂,who on earth will say that is menthal
Stay safe despite your great adventures 🙏😮
Tsunami surfing😮
Did he die?
