Sorry, but I can't subscribe to the bodysurfer channel. I will not encourage such an insane attitude. The sea just warned him...keep defying the sea and I'll take you away forever and ever. This guy should be sterilized and never allowed to have children. It's not fair to any child to have such an idiot father. Sorry. But there's no way I can support such an attitude. He has no standards... no responsibility.
Agreed. I remember a pretty successful gaming channel once saying that they wanted to promote other content makers, but it was difficult - it was like they were saying hey, this is weird territory, but we'll try to promote someone else now and then. I cold be wrong, but the way I took it was that they saw other creators in their space as competitors more than community. Just my opinion.
Just think of it this way: if we had evolved to take needless chances like that, humankind wouldn’t have survived. I’m wondering how his mom is gonna feel when she finds out her son was crushed against rocks, but he died doing what he loved. I don’t know how much consolation that’ll give her.
@@shenanitims4006 None of us get out alive so might as well have fun while you can. We survived as a species by rampant procreation, and most of early human kind was about taking extreme risk in order to survive.
I was a state champion freestyler and a distance ocean swimmer in Hawaii. I bodysurfed some big waves in Honolua Bay on Maui. This guy is in a league of his own. I am blown away.
I body surfed in South Africa a lot. Big surf but NOTHING like these monsters. I will say, after years in the big surf, and getting stuck in the “washing machine” under big dumpers, the only thing experience gives is the ability to not panic. But this guys situation. That is so over the top. I was stunned by the entire video. And what a strong swimmer as well. Wow.
I have only experienced comparatively tiny waves in the Atlantic Ocean, but even small ones can be deceiving and run you through quite a wash cycle. Repeated small waves can keep you tumbling and you really need to keep calm, as you said.
I can see the fear in his eyes when he’s trapped in that cave. I hope he doesn’t die doing this stuff. The chances are high that he won’t be so lucky next time.
I'm really impressed he stuck to the single sure entrance he knew of. In other videos I've watched of your reactions even trained cave divers can fall for the promise of another escape. No training in caves I assume, horrible circumstance and still waits for his moment to go for the sure exit from the cave instead of risking getting lost.
This channel has to be one of the most informative, interesting, and high quality channels I've come across on youtube. I was interested in diving before coming to it, but I feel as if you two have made me getting certified a certainty.
I had a pretty cool but dangerous experience once while body surfing in foul bay in Barbados once. We were told not to go beyond knee depth because the undertow was very bad and three people had been lost recently who didn't obey the signs. a few girls in our group were getting too far out and I knew how to body surf pretty okay. I was doing so in waves that were crashing pretty frequent and about 5 to 6 foot tall. one girl got her foot stuck in the rushing sandy bottom and was taken under by a wave and couldn't stand up from the frequency of the waves. I was a little further out than her and was catching a wave and was able to get to her and grab her by the arm and pull her up above a wave so she could breath. when the next wave hit I threw her up ahead of me again and took the wave up to her but had to dig my feet in so I didn't lose her behind me. After about 4 waves I got her out of the surf and on the beach. We all left after that.
Rex True You have the experience and wisdom to guide and encourage people, and that’s awesome. Be careful, though, you’re coming off like you’re using it to dunk on people and discourage them.
I deleted my first comment, but I'm pretty sure this guy, under great pressure was trying to calculate the timing of the sets for his best exit. I'm sure at more than one point in time he was convinced he had messed up, and it was over, but his resolve pulled through. NEVER GIVE UP
If that’s true that he swam 2k/ 1.25 miles home through 50+ foot waves after being trapped in a cave I think this man may have a future in long distance swimming, that’s amazing!
He swam far, good thing hes in good shape and well trained at what he does because that situation pushed him to his limits. Im glad he persevered and overcame this scenario. One thing is this is not 50 foot waves. It's easy for non surfers to miscalculate wave height. This is 8-12 ft face waves OR 4-6 ft hawaiian scale (in hawaii waves are measured from the back of the wave, not the face height). For many, those waves are beyond their capabilities, but for expert surfers and watermen, the wave height aren't that big. BUT I have to say the waves are not his risk in this situation, hes well experienced in waves of consequence and this size or bigger. The current, no accessibility in or out of the water, caves, strong currents and long swim back to a safe place to exit are his biggest dangers here. Not only did he suffer and near death ordeal after being pushed into a cave, he had to plan a way out and time it perfectly AND then swim home well over a mile. Caves in rock shelfs and reefs are somewhat common. The most famous surfing wave and one of the most dangerous, "pipeline" in hawaii is notorious for pockets, holes and "caves" in the reef and when powerful 6-25 foot waves are pushing you into an underwater hole/cave in the reef and holding you in there, it can turn deadly fast. Many have tragically died there, although not necessarily from that scenario. Regardless, this is an amazing video that ive watched countless times.
Gus is as well that way but he's more very much trying to focus on the subject and gives the facts while woody is trying his best to do the facts and share information that relates to him gus things that are relatable but interesting to the subject and not saying Gus is like worse or anything I mean he just is very focused on getting everything right like the information guy who wants to state the facts out right away.
I'm scared of water and can barely swim in a pool with someone by my side. I can't imagine this. My heart was pounding just watching this. Love your channel. As always, thanks for letting me dive through you guys. Keep up the great work
I just realized the letter "A" in your logo is a line marker. Such a cool design. Looks great on your shirt, Woody. I do like that AquaMan shirt, too though, Gus. You guys are 'legit' to me.
I’ve never been interested in diving (I have a phobia of open water) but I can listen to these guys talk about diving all day. Woody especially is so good at explaining diving thoroughly to people who haven’t got a clue, love it!
Some truths here. Every thing we can do, there are experts. I loved how they mentioned he might wait 4 hours to catch one wave. Damn that dude got lucky to be flushed into a cave, not rocks. My head hurt watching him in there without even a helmet
There's a lot of skepticism in the (online) surfing world about this video based on a few glaring holes in his story and his presentation. How is it he has a camera? How did he get in the cave? Without injury? The surges inside the cave don't correspond to the size (power) of surf in the exterior footage. How is it the person on the shore is filming his exit 2+ hours later; why were there not an emergency response crew there? Are we to believe the person on land filming sat there twiddling his thumbs for hours, lens trained on possible areas of shoreline? The surfer is supremely impressive in what he legitimately does. But to surfers with experience in rocky shores and big waves, these are glaring questions and his comments are turned off.
There are no words.....watching this I was in awe. The Son of the Sea deserves some ultimate respect. The endurance and determination it must have taken to hold on inside that cave and not to get smashed up on the rocks for over 2 HOURS!!!... Only to have swim out of the cave not knowing when the next surge will come, then swim back out of all that intense surf for 2 km... Wow. My jaw was on the floor. I grew up swimming in white water rapids on the Petawawa river and all over Ontario Canada and the current in some of those rivers is unbelievable and very humbling. I can't even imagine dealing with 100 foot waves. The volume of water crashing down on you would be almost immeasurable and just absolutely insane. It doesn't matter how tough you think you are or how powerful a swimmer, the power of mother nature is a constant reminder that we as humans are so unbelievably insignificant. Gus, you need to get in touch with this guy and have a zoom chat or a Skype call and pick his brain for some crazy stories and how he trains for stuff like this. I would love to hear more about this real life Aquaman.. I've also been to Tofino on the West coast of Canada for some storm watching and the immense power of the ocean blew my mind. It was amazingly terrifying and I can't say I saw anything bigger that 30-50 feet. For this man to swim in waters like these. I'd be thrilled and honored to shake his hand.
Oh so narly! I used to body surf on Oahu, Sandy Beach and Makapuu. I was usually the only girl out. Clean up set over 10ft came in during 4-6 ft sets, I got caught inside (where wave breaks) and was saying my last prayers! A surfer had been watching me from the beach and saved me, WOW! Thanks Woody and Gus for this awesome channel! Hugs from Maui😁
I'm surprised Woody has found something he DOESN'T want to do :). Keep up the great content. From a non-diver and someone who is scared of swimming/water (and never learned) you are getting me interested in learning both!
10:33 filming from the beach sudently the camera get underwater 10:38 filming maybe the entry of the cave from another angel 10:51 note the position is safe cause he is hidden from the current stream 10:58 pause and look at the source of light !!! and it is big one .... he only talk about the small hole where water come from ... 11:20 the source is even more visible 11:25 note how the light is changing when he took the camera up to this point 11:41 he took the camera to shaded area and point it up on the rock ... normaly we will see light passing the blue water with all the source of light 11:48 you can see his body already above the water and the angle of rotation is visible if you play the video slowly... 13:15 now he direct himself to the big hole 13:22 now he can get out and just set... 13:33 look at the big hole there ... 13:45 closer look 14:03 he didn't think about filming the dangerous moment of risking his life to get out , he just got out by teleportation or something 14:10 you can see the sea level and compar with his position and note that he film always on the safe zone 14:15 multiple camera angle or multiple shots but in different places 14:24 that was epic but risky and this is the only unsuspected real risky shot in the video in my opinion 14:33 another day ,another place ,another camera angle ... again !!!! 14:55 look at the waves guys please look at the camera angle is this the same cliff ???????????????? sorry for my poor language "english is my 4th" all this analyses are my own opinion i can be wrong but now i'm 100% sure i'm right please review the video ... brothers i did some sea cave exploration before and my head just touched the sealing that was painful and everything is sharpppp if the wave really pushed something inside the cave i think it's gonna hit the walls and broke to peaces ... you are cave divers you that better than me and you may know speleologists (helmets and safety gears)
I was going to comment on another persons comment but I felt it would not be seen the same I love your content guys! I appreciate your spirit and morality. You’re ability to stay genuine yet kind in all your criticisms of videos, whether of good or bad scenarios, is incredible! You don’t judge individuals, just actions. You don’t blame people, you just look to learn and educate. The type of approach you take to these videos I can only assume you practice in your day to day lives, and I can not tell you how much I admire that and wish that the rest of the world was the same. Things go wrong daily, we don’t need to blame anyone. The only thing worth doing is learning why it happened and avoiding repeating the mistake
Hi. I'm from Portugal and i have seen every videos of you guys. I do scuba dive and freediving, if you want coming to Portugal you need to come to the island of Madeira, we don't have caves here but we have some beautiful wrecks and good places to dive. Thanks for the great videos you guys make.
Those waves turn into cement at those speeds. {{Btw, starting my PADI Open Water Scuba Course next week. It's a 3 week course; twice a week. It has a lot of great feedback / experience(one of the most experienced instructors in Canada) and I just got my medical clearance from the doctor so all systems go. VERY excited. Thank you Dive Talk for being the final little push of encouragement I needed to do this. Cheers guys!}}
The son of the sea is the real life version of aquaman. I cannot even fathom how intense those waves would have been...and he was tossed into the air vertically like 30' near rocks without a helmet. The man has balls of steel. 14:20
Wow guys, that is incredible. What a story and video that is. My respect for caves and rules to go into them just keepes on growing. Great video, you guys are awesome. Love the interesting video's.
We found Woody's equivalent limit to Gus' diving for gold... He actually doesnt wanna try this lolz. So everytime Woody brings up diving for gold, Gus can be like, "We'll do that whenenever you body surf these gianormous waves" and replay this video:-) Another great one guys!
Oh it's a real thing, I thought the same thing when I first heard that"Cornhole championship" I thought what the hell. Yeah it's a northern thing that I believe Abe Lincoln started. 🤣😂🤣😝😝😜
I had to look it up, and it wasn’t even a risky click. I can’t believe the association running that could pay out $1 million in a season. I didn’t even know there was a sport with that name and they even have sponsors. My expectations were certainly averted.
I wonder how strong his whole body is, physically and internally. Man, he's mad.. And look at the waves when they threw his body backwards! I got nervous, the distance of his body and the rocks behind was close-in my eyes perspective Btw, this is why I keen on you guys, genuinely shout out to other people's channel, no hard feeling at all, humble at its finest, and I assume that part of you is one of the reason why people willingly subscribe ur channel and still looking forward for your next videos. Just stay healthy, and keep up the good work!
Guys, the setup for your stories is soo good every time - thx for bringing these amazing stories to us. My brother lives in the south of Portugal close to Nazaré, and yes, bodysurfing is a thing there.
I was just waiting for Woody to whisper "I kinda wanna try that" when they were watching the guy body surfing the massive wave and then get the disapproving look from Gus.
Wow, the way he launched himself forward in the wave to keep from being swallowed up, those strokes looked so powerful. If there's any truth to past lives as animals, this guy was definitely a porpoise!
I’ve done such silly things. The difference was the cave entrance was bigger. We had been in the cave before when the surf was basically flat. We had a tough time getting out, when we went in when the surf was 6ft. This guy was insane to be out there, in such big waves.
I'll say this. I've been a body surfer ( never have board surfed in my life), for over 2 decades. Mostly Zipolite Mexico and the Dominican Republic. I call regular surfers "floaters" cause they miss so many good waves waiting around for waves. But you can get so many more without a board. There is nothing like it. Viva Hijo del Mar. What an incredible dude
Holy shit I’ve never seen a wave like that even watching that movie chasing Mavericks that thing looks like three times as big that guy looks like he’s doing 100 miles an hour or more. I’m addicted to these videos you guys do a great job I love your chemistry together really funny and addicting
You should watch “The 100 foot wave” it’s a six part documentary on HBO featuring Garrett McNamara and how he made Nazare (the huge wave that was surfed at the beginning of this episode)…. You’ll see tons of amazing waves and surfers.
Nazare is really special because of it's underwater canyons that jack up those swells to that level. It's hard to believe, even though you are looking right at it. Huge respect for anyone who charges in there! Yes Gus, the jet ski pilots too.
I've been subbed since you had only 5k subs. Not only have I finally went on my first dive because of you guys I am now taking classes. I'm so happy to see that you at 25k and rising. I remember not to long ago that waiter or waitress became your 10k sub. Keep up the great content and education! Love you guys!
I don't dive let alone cave dive. It's far down my todo list. That said, for some reason I really enjoy your channel and approach to demystifying the particulars and misconceptions of your hobby/profession. As a rock climber I can see so many parallels in how to mitigate potential problems to the point where it can be a very safe activity even for newbies so long as you recognize your limitations (and the limitations of your gear) and keep well back from them. I also like the way you guys approach your videos without excess hyperbole just to try and impress everybody and are humble enough to acknowledge that there is more to learn than what you know, which is a fatal trap for experienced people who become instructors in any potentially dangerous endeavour. Keep it up, and hope you guys get a ton of subs without resorting to appealing overtly to people's short attention spans as is the current norm.
Its funny how i dont cavedive WHATSOEVER,and honestly might never will,but hearing these videos full while i clean my house or smn is just relaxing,i learn a lot even if i dont like cavediving,its really interesting,i usually do it with podcasts,but this channel is awesome
Wow! what a risk. Fanny is that I saw this video three days ago. And just a comment: bodysurfing is AWSOME! Its so fun! Its a great sensation. Also there is something interesting, there is an apparatus that he wasnt using, a very little size board, just to put in one hand, here in Brasil we call it "palmar" in some places. This apparatus helps by adding more control to the ride. Love Dive Talks! Thank you guys! (And sorry if my english got bad 😂😂😂)
Holy crap, I didn't even know it was possible to body surf waves that big. Or just to swim in oceans that rough against a rocky shore. O_O What a beast, dang! I am glad you guys give credit to the guy in the video. I hope this dude didn't get badly hurt, but I guess if he swam back, he was okay, just shaken. Don't know how the heck he managed to make it out with everything stacked against him! Like the video where Gus goes into this woman's credentials, and puts emphasis on how she has tons of experience and the group she swims for, even if she had a panic moment in the reaction video. Even pros make mistakes or suffer accidents out of their control
Ohmygod i'm dying I just thought of the David Hasselhoff scene from the spongebob movie with the guy speeding on the ocean on his chest like a motor boat. :'D
Man, I started to comment on how the video was edited together. But then I realized the surfers you showed were just to show the place. But I thought he was going to body surf the waves from the beginning? Those are once a decade waves. That would have been INSANE. He’s never on a hundred foot wave in any part of this video though. Not anywhere even remotely close to the waves the surfers were on. Still a cool video. Glad he’s living his best life and he got out OK. I think the way you presented the video was why I was expecting so much more. This just looks like waves guys body surf in Hawaii and other spots on the regular. Anyway? Don’t take it the wrong way. Love your guys videos and I don’t even dive. You’re making me want to try it though. Especially having grown up in the South Bay of Los Angeles. Keep up the good work guys.
these big wave surfers and body surfers are on a different planet when it comes to badass-ness. they also tend to do a TON of training in preparation for being held down for really long periods of time due to a wipe out. they’re superhuman when it comes to staying under and holding their breath.
Great video!, still watching them all even If I'm not commenting on every vid. That guy was in serious trouble. Glad he got out of that ocean cave safely. I look forward to the next update Woody and Gus!
I don't know why I'm suddenly so obsessed with you two. Lol I've been rec diving twice (I know, just a baby) but I fell in love. I'm probably a first chamber kinda gal so all these videos just affirm I never want to go cave diving.
Insane!!! So the guy filming him from the shore AND hrs later when he emerged, didn't call the Rescue Services when he got swallowed in that cave.. though even a helicopter rescue would be perilous/impossible in those conditions. Filming angles after exit 14:19 (swimming back home) imply drone footage. His film buddy wouldn't know if/when he'd emerge. So did he tell him: 'Just keep filming mate.'
I met a surfer in Hawaii who always carried a tiny bottle of air and regulator around his neck that provided a breath or two in an emergency. He said that he was once pinned under a coral reef and barely made it.
In fairness, Nazareth videos are usually shot with a perspective/scaling trick. The lighthouse and camera are on a cliff overlooking the wave, therefore you can see the wave appearing "above" the lighthouse... not accurate its always lower than the lighthouse. Furthermore the bird eye perspective allows the camera to pick up sea foam trails leading into the wave which from a level perspective would only be visible on the face(near vertical surface). These trails give the false impression that you are looking at the wave face of Nazareth when you are actually looking at the face combined with the leading trough giving the wave a much larger appearance. That being said, it's still one of the tallest waves in the world and to know people surf that is absolutely bonkers.
I’ve timed myself and can hold my breath for 2:27, but when I get in a pool or swim in any way, that time becomes 1 minute even. It’s hard to accurately tell how hard a situation is (as far as holding breath) until you are in it. Add water, stress, and exertion, that time becomes less and less
Came here to watch again! This is totally insane. Thank you guys for making this Channel. For sure one of my favorite here. Also I would like to recommend you to react to "Mossdale Disaster"😁

The surfer is supremely impressive in what he legitimately does. But to surfers with experience in rocky shores and big waves, these are glaring questions and his comments are turned off.
I am here just to let both Woody and Gus knows that both of you are awesome, wholesome and I absolutely love your videos. Keep em coming guys! 💪🏽
There are no words.....watching this I was in awe. The Son of the Sea deserves some ultimate respect. The endurance and determination it must have taken to hold on inside that cave and not to get smashed up on the rocks for over 2 HOURS!!!... Only to have swim out of the cave not knowing when the next surge will come, then swim back out of all that intense surf for 2 km... Wow. My jaw was on the floor.
I grew up swimming in white water rapids on the Petawawa river and all over Ontario Canada and the current in some of those rivers is unbelievable and very humbling. I can't even imagine dealing with 100 foot waves. The volume of water crashing down on you would be almost immeasurable and just absolutely insane. It doesn't matter how tough you think you are or how powerful a swimmer, the power of mother nature is a constant reminder that we as humans are so unbelievably insignificant.
Gus, you need to get in touch with this guy and have a zoom chat or a Skype call and pick his brain for some crazy stories and how he trains for stuff like this. I would love to hear more about this real life Aquaman.. I've also been to Tofino on the West coast of Canada for some storm watching and the immense power of the ocean blew my mind. It was amazingly terrifying and I can't say I saw anything bigger that 30-50 feet. For this man to swim in waters like these. I'd be thrilled and honored to shake his hand.
Oh so narly! I used to body surf on Oahu, Sandy Beach and Makapuu. I was usually the only girl out. Clean up set over 10ft came in during 4-6 ft sets, I got caught inside (where wave breaks) and was saying my last prayers! A surfer had been watching me from the beach and saved me, WOW! Thanks Woody and Gus for this awesome channel! Hugs from Maui😁
I will stick with my horses and dry land. But I admire the nads on that guy! Have a great weekend!
I'm surprised Woody has found something he DOESN'T want to do :). Keep up the great content. From a non-diver and someone who is scared of swimming/water (and never learned) you are getting me interested in learning both!
10:33 filming from the beach sudently the camera get underwater
10:38 filming maybe the entry of the cave from another angel
10:51 note the position is safe cause he is hidden from the current stream
10:58 pause and look at the source of light !!! and it is big one .... he only talk about the small hole where water come from ...
11:20 the source is even more visible
11:25 note how the light is changing when he took the camera up to this point
11:41 he took the camera to shaded area and point it up on the rock ... normaly we will see light passing the blue water with all the source of light
11:48 you can see his body already above the water and the angle of rotation is visible if you play the video slowly...
13:15 now he direct himself to the big hole
13:22 now he can get out and just set...
13:33 look at the big hole there ...
13:45 closer look
14:03 he didn't think about filming the dangerous moment of risking his life to get out , he just got out by teleportation or something
14:10 you can see the sea level and compar with his position and note that he film always on the safe zone
14:15 multiple camera angle or multiple shots but in different places
14:24 that was epic but risky and this is the only unsuspected real risky shot in the video in my opinion
14:33 another day ,another place ,another camera angle ... again !!!!
14:55 look at the waves guys please look at the camera angle is this the same cliff ????????????????
sorry for my poor language "english is my 4th"
all this analyses are my own opinion i can be wrong but now i'm 100% sure i'm right
please review the video ... brothers i did some sea cave exploration before and my head just touched the sealing that was painful and everything is sharpppp if the wave really pushed something inside the cave i think it's gonna hit the walls and broke to peaces ... you are cave divers you that better than me and you may know speleologists (helmets and safety gears)
I was going to comment on another persons comment but I felt it would not be seen the same
I love your content guys! I appreciate your spirit and morality. You’re ability to stay genuine yet kind in all your criticisms of videos, whether of good or bad scenarios, is incredible! You don’t judge individuals, just actions. You don’t blame people, you just look to learn and educate. The type of approach you take to these videos I can only assume you practice in your day to day lives, and I can not tell you how much I admire that and wish that the rest of the world was the same. Things go wrong daily, we don’t need to blame anyone. The only thing worth doing is learning why it happened and avoiding repeating the mistake
Love listening to Gus and Woody! found this channel about a week ago and binged it all. look forward to all the future content!!
What an amazingly strong swimmer. I truly can't believe how he can survive those conditions. He should be a lifeguard for sure.
DIVE TALK friday! Excited!
This guy really is aquaman haha! Scary situation though, would be absolutely terrifying, glad he made it out well and good though.
Hi. I'm from Portugal and i have seen every videos of you guys. I do scuba dive and freediving, if you want coming to Portugal you need to come to the island of Madeira, we don't have caves here but we have some beautiful wrecks and good places to dive. Thanks for the great videos you guys make.
Those waves turn into cement at those speeds. {{Btw, starting my PADI Open Water Scuba Course next week. It's a 3 week course; twice a week. It has a lot of great feedback / experience(one of the most experienced instructors in Canada) and I just got my medical clearance from the doctor so all systems go. VERY excited. Thank you Dive Talk for being the final little push of encouragement I needed to do this. Cheers guys!}}
Wowow, that's terrifying!!! He is an impressive swimmer. I feel like he could swim through a tsunami!!
The son of the sea is the real life version of aquaman. I cannot even fathom how intense those waves would have been...and he was tossed into the air vertically like 30' near rocks without a helmet. The man has balls of steel. 14:20
Damm, that dude is a real man fish, wtf. If I just even see that kind of wave, I'll just run looking for high ground and screaming "Tsunami"
I'm a surfer 🏄♀️ have been for years, so hearing Gus, whom I absolutely look up too dive wise, say he admires surfers, was an amazing feeling
Woody's smile is so infectious, always cheers me up.
Wow guys, that is incredible. What a story and video that is. My respect for caves and rules to go into them just keepes on growing. Great video, you guys are awesome. Love the interesting video's.
We found Woody's equivalent limit to Gus' diving for gold... He actually doesnt wanna try this lolz.
So everytime Woody brings up diving for gold, Gus can be like, "We'll do that whenenever you body surf these gianormous waves" and replay this video:-)
Another great one guys!
The way Gus says bananas brings me a massive amount of joy
These guys could do a video reaction of the corn hole championship and I’d watch it.
I think they would get banned from from u tubez for porn.
That's funny! Made me laugh. Guess you would have to know my neighbors.
Oh it's a real thing, I thought the same thing when I first heard that"Cornhole championship" I thought what the hell. Yeah it's a northern thing that I believe Abe Lincoln started. 🤣😂🤣😝😝😜
@Schubert33 Woody and Gus aren't going to touch this with a ten foot pole. Lmao
I had to look it up, and it wasn’t even a risky click. I can’t believe the association running that could pay out $1 million in a season. I didn’t even know there was a sport with that name and they even have sponsors. My expectations were certainly averted.
I wonder how strong his whole body is, physically and internally. Man, he's mad.. And look at the waves when they threw his body backwards! I got nervous, the distance of his body and the rocks behind was close-in my eyes perspective
Btw, this is why I keen on you guys, genuinely shout out to other people's channel, no hard feeling at all, humble at its finest, and I assume that part of you is one of the reason why people willingly subscribe ur channel and still looking forward for your next videos. Just stay healthy, and keep up the good work!
The main clip was masterfully set up. I mean just wow, Gus. Such an amazing job building tension!!
Guys, the setup for your stories is soo good every time - thx for bringing these amazing stories to us. My brother lives in the south of Portugal close to Nazaré, and yes, bodysurfing is a thing there.
I was just waiting for Woody to whisper "I kinda wanna try that" when they were watching the guy body surfing the massive wave
and then get the disapproving look from Gus.
found you guys a month ago. now tomorrow i have my pool dives for certification!
Nazare is nuts! Watch the 60 minutes special of Ross Clark Jones surfing this. I can't imagine body surfing those waves.
This guy doesn't body surf Nazare, he body surfs in the Canary Islands big swells that are big but not even close to Nazare.
I'm not a diver, but I love your guys' content and how passionate you are. So interesting to learn about this topic. :)
Wow, the way he launched himself forward in the wave to keep from being swallowed up, those strokes looked so powerful. If there's any truth to past lives as animals, this guy was definitely a porpoise!
Lots of love from Portugal guys. You're amazing and I love your videos. Loved this one! Keep doing it ❤️
I’ve done such silly things. The difference was the cave entrance was bigger. We had been in the cave before when the surf was basically flat. We had a tough time getting out, when we went in when the surf was 6ft. This guy was insane to be out there, in such big waves.
I'll say this. I've been a body surfer ( never have board surfed in my life), for over 2 decades. Mostly Zipolite Mexico and the Dominican Republic. I call regular surfers "floaters" cause they miss so many good waves waiting around for waves. But you can get so many more without a board. There is nothing like it. Viva Hijo del Mar. What an incredible dude
Holy shit I’ve never seen a wave like that even watching that movie chasing Mavericks that thing looks like three times as big that guy looks like he’s doing 100 miles an hour or more. I’m addicted to these videos you guys do a great job I love your chemistry together really funny and addicting
You should watch “The 100 foot wave” it’s a six part documentary on HBO featuring Garrett McNamara and how he made Nazare (the huge wave that was surfed at the beginning of this episode)…. You’ll see tons of amazing waves and surfers.
Wow! Not only was that extremely terrifying but what he did after he got out of the cave was unbelievable!
I will never be a diver, but I am certainly addicted to your content. Keep making awesome videos guys!!
Nazare is really special because of it's underwater canyons that jack up those swells to that level. It's hard to believe, even though you are looking right at it. Huge respect for anyone who charges in there! Yes Gus, the jet ski pilots too.
Look at these guys trying to fool us and show us a trailer of the new Aquaman 2 Marvel movie
Such an amazing feat this guy has trained to do! Love how you are supportive and promote others!
I love how Woody just lit right up talking about body surfing ♥️
I've been subbed since you had only 5k subs. Not only have I finally went on my first dive because of you guys I am now taking classes. I'm so happy to see that you at 25k and rising. I remember not to long ago that waiter or waitress became your 10k sub. Keep up the great content and education! Love you guys!
Nice find Gus! You guys are awesome.
I don't dive let alone cave dive. It's far down my todo list.
That said, for some reason I really enjoy your channel and approach to demystifying the particulars and misconceptions of your hobby/profession. As a rock climber I can see so many parallels in how to mitigate potential problems to the point where it can be a very safe activity even for newbies so long as you recognize your limitations (and the limitations of your gear) and keep well back from them.
I also like the way you guys approach your videos without excess hyperbole just to try and impress everybody and are humble enough to acknowledge that there is more to learn than what you know, which is a fatal trap for experienced people who become instructors in any potentially dangerous endeavour.
Keep it up, and hope you guys get a ton of subs without resorting to appealing overtly to people's short attention spans as is the current norm.
I don't even dive. Mr Ballen brought me here but I stayed for the great content and education 👌
yall are great, that guys is almost to 1,000 subs! Great episode. take care have a great weekend diving! Be safe
Its funny how i dont cavedive WHATSOEVER,and honestly might never will,but hearing these videos full while i clean my house or smn is just relaxing,i learn a lot even if i dont like cavediving,its really interesting,i usually do it with podcasts,but this channel is awesome
Patience, determination, and a whole lot of luck. Incredible video!
This was incredible! Thanks for sharing and reacting!
Love your chemistry.........such an enjoyable watch ☺️ I'm trying to catch up on all your videos & learning as I go 😚☺️ love from England ♥️😊
Wow! what a risk. Fanny is that I saw this video three days ago. And just a comment: bodysurfing is AWSOME! Its so fun! Its a great sensation. Also there is something interesting, there is an apparatus that he wasnt using, a very little size board, just to put in one hand, here in Brasil we call it "palmar" in some places. This apparatus helps by adding more control to the ride. Love Dive Talks! Thank you guys! (And sorry if my english got bad 😂😂😂)
Holy crap, I didn't even know it was possible to body surf waves that big. Or just to swim in oceans that rough against a rocky shore. O_O What a beast, dang!
I am glad you guys give credit to the guy in the video. I hope this dude didn't get badly hurt, but I guess if he swam back, he was okay, just shaken. Don't know how the heck he managed to make it out with everything stacked against him!
Like the video where Gus goes into this woman's credentials, and puts emphasis on how she has tons of experience and the group she swims for, even if she had a panic moment in the reaction video.
Even pros make mistakes or suffer accidents out of their control
Ohmygod i'm dying I just thought of the David Hasselhoff scene from the spongebob movie with the guy speeding on the ocean on his chest like a motor boat. :'D
Man, I started to comment on how the video was edited together. But then I realized the surfers you showed were just to show the place. But I thought he was going to body surf the waves from the beginning? Those are once a decade waves. That would have been INSANE. He’s never on a hundred foot wave in any part of this video though. Not anywhere even remotely close to the waves the surfers were on. Still a cool video. Glad he’s living his best life and he got out OK. I think the way you presented the video was why I was expecting so much more. This just looks like waves guys body surf in Hawaii and other spots on the regular. Anyway? Don’t take it the wrong way. Love your guys videos and I don’t even dive. You’re making me want to try it though. Especially having grown up in the South Bay of Los Angeles. Keep up the good work guys.
these big wave surfers and body surfers are on a different planet when it comes to badass-ness. they also tend to do a TON of training in preparation for being held down for really long periods of time due to a wipe out. they’re superhuman when it comes to staying under and holding their breath.
Great video!, still watching them all even If I'm not commenting on every vid. That guy was in serious trouble. Glad he got out of that ocean cave safely. I look forward to the next update Woody and Gus!
my favorite content on youtube lately keep up the great work
I don't know why I'm suddenly so obsessed with you two. Lol
I've been rec diving twice (I know, just a baby) but I fell in love. I'm probably a first chamber kinda gal so all these videos just affirm I never want to go cave diving.
I'm from Portugal!! Cool to see u guys talk about my country!! Nazare has the best waves
He was actually lucky that he was pushed into the cave and not smashed against the rocks! Incredible! 😮 Totally gnarly!
Glad to see your subscribers growing. Love the channel. You guys rule.
Insane!!! So the guy filming him from the shore AND hrs later when he emerged, didn't call the Rescue Services when he got swallowed in that cave.. though even a helicopter rescue would be perilous/impossible in those conditions. Filming angles after exit 14:19 (swimming back home) imply drone footage. His film buddy wouldn't know if/when he'd emerge. So did he tell him: 'Just keep filming mate.'
I don’t do any of this stuff but you guys are my favorite people on earth right now. 😂this channel is getting me through some really bad depression.
I met a surfer in Hawaii who always carried a tiny bottle of air and regulator around his neck that provided a breath or two in an emergency. He said that he was once pinned under a coral reef and barely made it.
The guy’s TH-cam channel and this video needs more attention 😮💨
Well that’s a twofer, 100 foot wave body surfer, in a cave! I love this channel!!!!!!!
I've never dived and I likely won't but you guys make awesome videos and your both great at commentary I try to watch every video!
In fairness, Nazareth videos are usually shot with a perspective/scaling trick. The lighthouse and camera are on a cliff overlooking the wave, therefore you can see the wave appearing "above" the lighthouse... not accurate its always lower than the lighthouse.
Furthermore the bird eye perspective allows the camera to pick up sea foam trails leading into the wave which from a level perspective would only be visible on the face(near vertical surface). These trails give the false impression that you are looking at the wave face of Nazareth when you are actually looking at the face combined with the leading trough giving the wave a much larger appearance.
That being said, it's still one of the tallest waves in the world and to know people surf that is absolutely bonkers.
Man I thought we were insane when we would body surf the wedge. This guy is next level.
Real hero, i got goosebumps. Love your content.
What a f*****g LEGEND! Seriously, that’s how legends are made 👏👏👏👏
This is becoming my second favorite story channel next to mr ballen you guys are awesome keep it up !
As always, love the content! My favorite you tubers
It looks like a tsunami! I noticed no coffee today, Woody is more subdued... Great reaction!
Navy seals will never do this. This Man is the GOAT of the Seas.
You guys have a lot of really good content. Keep up the good work it's very interesting!
You guys are the best storytellers
I’ve timed myself and can hold my breath for 2:27, but when I get in a pool or swim in any way, that time becomes 1 minute even. It’s hard to accurately tell how hard a situation is (as far as holding breath) until you are in it. Add water, stress, and exertion, that time becomes less and less
Good morning Gus & Woody. I grew up in Panama City,FL. Love Florida. Now I'm in Missouri :(
Love the format guys
Came here to watch again! This is totally insane. Thank you guys for making this Channel. For sure one of my favorite here. Also I would like to recommend you to react to "Mossdale Disaster"😁
That huge wave is in Nazare, Portugal. I've been there. Needles to say it's pretty incredible. Waves weren't nearly that big though.
