ARE YOU A QUAD OR THRUSTER PERSON?! I still love Thrusters, but the Quad in the tube felt really good. TIMESTAMPS: Session 1 - 0:00 On the Hunt - 10:00 Call with AJW 15:00 Session 2 19:33 Earl pt. 2 is way more surfing, way less talking 😉
Brett, if Kelly doesn't walk away saying at least one of my inventions (likely the main one) is better than the Surf Ranch, you can vomit or worse on me and record it, as per this post. You and Kelly are both responsible for delaying the sport of surfing. Just think about that Brett, it's a win/win for you both. If you dig the inventions, then we all win. If you don't, then you get a story out of it with a video to go along with it, but you can't give the invention away. He can even take full credit. He doesn't have to disclose which of his ideas came from me. He can put whatever finishing touches on it and submit the filing himself if he knows how - it's not too hard really. And, to be clear, yes, he can still take the invention and you both can vomit or worse on me if HE doesn't think it's BETTER than the surf ranch. 2 separate things. I'm clearly stating "Better than surf ranch" as well. Not just likes the idea, and wants it. Though if he likes it and takes it, it's still a win win win even if he doesn't think it's better than Surf Ranch (there's really a forth win, because you all get the video). You're holding up surfing - for real tho. I'm a computer guy. I don't have the money or connections to put the plan into action up to the point of getting customers. The vomit video would be for public viewing btw. He just has to be honest. Btw, I know you like the kite one. That was nothing........... Best surf related invention to date Brett, because I consider Surf Ranch best before this, and this is better. This isn't "pie in the sky" shiz neither. This is easily accomplish-able. Or are you all the type not to give others any credit? Sometimes, you just gotta go get the idea.
Thank You! Great State of NC, the BEST Surf on the Eastern Seaboard. Glad you lot had fun, and stayed safe. Thank you for the uploads and I hope people will learn to respect the Water and please, be careful when you paddle out! Remember the Code and show Respect to others and the Water. Edit: Quad or Thruster: Thruster, w/FCS Slotted Fins on MY Baby, “Beauty” a Channel Island Custom, 6’2”. I love the Channel Island Rook Quad, it’s a great set-up, and makes form a great ride, but Thruster is my fav.
The wave that started around 8:55 was tremendous! What an incredible ride. I will never know that experience and I am truly jealous. I really enjoy your episodes Thank you
Love how involved u get with the reviews Brett! Pro surfer or reg Joe ur videos are very relatable. Great surfing buddy. We’re Stoked to hear u liked the board so much! Also rad to see RobBrown happen to be there first time u tried a PotatoLauncher. Good stuff 🤙🏽
Love that southern style Laid back attitude of someone at such a high skill level suddenly realizing they had their fins in backwards. 🤙 still ripped it
Man I look forward to these, you guys are always on it. Props to the surfers & boogiemen of the OBX, all of ya 'all put on a show when the caverns produce. I bet Fionna's is gonna be a sick clip to, I was right up the road from ya 'all in buxton all day getting tubed!!! ! Keep up the great work.
Came down to Avon/buxton area with east of Maui surf shop for a week trip, never thought OBX got this good of waves, beyond stoked I got to experience and ride some insane waves for the first time! Completely different game down there then it is in Delaware!!!
It's nice to see the humbler side of Brett with his old truck with a 'falling' headliner and no AC and still using it without a pause. I appreciate that a lot. 💪 😏
We've had guys bring boards back saying the boxes were not put in properly. And I'm like" dude, you got you fins on the wrong sides." One guy surfed big Waiamea with his back fins on the wrong sides. It's pretty easy to do. Funny you don't drive over the bridge. Will travel across the globe, but won't cross the bridge for good waves.
how can ppl not tell?!?!? that's like putting the wrong shoe on the wrong foot lmfao you literally see and feel if your blind a flat side and the other side will be rounded/ slightly curved and the middle feels the same on both sides.
What are your thoughts on Ghost vs Pig Dog? They seem like their shapes and bottom contours are very similar and you've surfed them both so what are your thoughts?
Amazing stuff. Do people fishing in the current when the swell is up like this ever catch anything? I have never seen a single fish pulled out in these conditions
We were there in early June, not as big as this but pretty big and current ripping down the beach. Got a 32in and 38in drum with sandfleas right in the fast current between shore and the sandbar, very close to the beach. The guys launching bait way out weren't catching anything.
Funny, I hadn't ridden a quad in probably TWENTY years until this summer, and now I can't get off of it. Even on more solid days. Yeah, it's a bit squirrelly, but the speed is so addicting.
Every session for over a year now. My surfers ear (bone growth) is nearly closed up so I can’t even dunk my head under in a pool without getting water trapped. I need surgery and ear plugs are just letting me wait a little longer. I wish I started wearing em sooner
Oatmeal in morning… Snacks: grass fed beef sticks, power crunch bars, fig bars, liquid IV for snacks. Apple & oranges sometimes. Lunch is hit or miss… sometimes I get it, other days like this one I just load up on those snacks I listed. Lots of protein.
Load up on carbs when surf is pumping and sessions are long. Bananas, doughnuts (yes, doughnuts!), honey, coffee, You will feel like on crack and catch sooo many waves in pumping surf for three hours straight lmfaoooo then eat some more and repeat
Yooo I've been wanting to take a trip up that way I'm from Wilmington but I bodyboard dealing with a hairline fracture on my ribs from a shore break and even with the ribs hurting I tried to go out last Thursday for the storm took a nice 6ft on the head hahaha called it a day so the healing begins all over again 🤙
Loved the video as always! I'm seeing the numbers in views decline over the last months, do you have any idea why that's the case? TH-cam algorithm? :/
Because I’ve been posting less videos. Waiting for real waves. This and my last video are doing well though :) and I got about 4 more vids stacked up ready to edit. fall is here!
Hey Brett! I highly recommend trying Naked Viking Surf fins!! NVS with their fiberglass and epoxy resin construction (G10) are the most thin, strongest, and FASTEST fins on the market!! Any of their fins are potentially faster than any fin you've ever used!? I know they are for me! And I've done tons of fin and board testing! Ask Trip Forman about NVS fins?! Their quad fins will blow your mind! Noel Salas sells his custom NVS QUAD REARS that are amazing!! Highly recommend them to you Brett! My quad is the fastest most responsive board I've ever ridden in 46 years of surfing (5 years on the Bud tour and some ASP with a 17th at the OP Pro in 88')...I've been learning so much about board and FIN design and construction...Once you try NVS fins, you'll never want to use anything else...They come in both Future and FCS fin bases...And i don't ride or work for them! lol I just wanted to give you some brotherly advise...Keep charging the barrels! God bless you...Tony Foster
All of the locals from Nags Head to kitty Hawk KNOW you "drive across the bridge" to go to Walmart, Lowes,Home Depot...etc!! Lol.. great videos, From a Kill Devil Hills local!!!!
@@brettbarley yeah, it's fickle af, that's why I never hardly went there (well, that and no 4wd!). Went once on a heavy nor'easter and it was lining up, but weird and waaay fast .
@23:36 - Brett, you full on man-sized the shiz out of that. I thought you'd have spidey'd down the face and done one of your face hugs. Probably woulda made it, but you went for man-hood. I don't blame. We're all scared of what's beneath. Where's Kelly - my ideas are too big to suppress. He can just give me a cut.
Brett, you what not to do, right? What not to think about? ever... good, good. Also, now that your surgery is over, I'll tell you the real solution (that could have prevented the surgery). I can't guarantee results, but I would have dripped some vitamin K2 down into the ear - just a drop or so (no, not even a drop - just a small fraction of one), and perhaps some MgCl (dissolved in water). It's all about the osteoclasts, of course. OC, you'd have to be smart enough to have completely eliminated fluoride as that decreases both osteoclasts and osteoblasts. Shoulda gone with Jeff... OC, it takes time. It won't fix overnight, but bone spurs are fixable with osteoclast promoters and balanced water source (not high in calcium as compared to magnesium), so too should the ear shit be. Probably, all in all, it's a deficiency in both of those, along with the cold water surfing.
Hey Brett! Love your vids, wondering if you'd consider doing a short 15 min virtual podcast with me regarding surf training, preventative injury, past rehab experiences, etc. I'm a student physical therapist planning to work with surfers in the future. Let me know if you'd be interested! - Robby

Earl pt. 2 is way more surfing, way less talking 😉
That's kind of personal, isn't it? Sorry, couldn't resist the jest ;-)
Love quads for small days on my shortboard for that speed and looseness on my Lost Puddle jumper but never tried them for bigger days
Twin Fin all the way! Not for waves like this though.. 😮
Always a Thruster guy... but as I age, I find small rears (3.6") in Quad setup really loosen my boards up. (for normal conditions... not big Earl)

I really enjoy your episodes Thank you
so glad you enjoy it! thanks
Those waves are so much bigger in real life than they look on camera!
No freaking doubt about that
Confirmed
Love that even a pro does silly things when there's exciting surf waiting!
Just a frothing dude like everyone else :)
Love how involved u get with the reviews Brett! Pro surfer or reg Joe ur videos are very relatable. Great surfing buddy. We’re Stoked to hear u liked the board so much! Also rad to see RobBrown happen to be there first time u tried a PotatoLauncher. Good stuff 🤙🏽
Earl was so underrated... glad you scored!!!
Stoked to see another full length vlog from you. Man I love these videos. Thanks for the hard work. Summer is over. It’s go time for you guys 🤙
🔥🔥100% been a busy Fall so far
I had something else to do when I put on the video and was gonna skim through it. Didn’t happen total fire! Great edit, great music. Watched it twice!
that barrel was a 10 if i have ever seen one!
the best surf vlog still!!!! thanks Brett
Great vid! What kind of ear plugs do you use? Thanks!
The wave at 9 minutes has to be the wave of the winter. That thing was heavy!
Absolutely awesome footage.
Thank you.
Glass on fins will solve your problem. Foundation 80’. Great show always. ⚡️⚡️⚡️🥇🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Love hearing the fin and board talk
In France it was so gnarly too
Thanks for another awesome video and the feedback on the quads. I've been wanting to get some quads
Love that southern style Laid back attitude of someone at such a high skill level suddenly realizing they had their fins in backwards. 🤙 still ripped it
That was awesome. That good one was a sick wave super stoked to watch. Thanks again for another great adventure. Late.

She needs some work… salt wear and tear.
That was a spot on eastern shore of Maryland accent 😂 finally some waves!!!
Mr Shackleton is back in town. East Coast Spit. You were so deeeeeeeeep
Yeeeeew! Can't believe you made it out of that one!
I am no referee. but to me, that barrel at 9:00 was 10! A sick session with so much energy!
Frothing for the hunt!!! Sooo stoked for your videos bro
Brett said, "I never drive over the bridge".
Yet me and Kitty hawk always drives over the bridge. 😁
9:24 I didn't think you were making a out well done sis!
We've had guys bring boards back saying the boxes were not put in properly. And I'm like" dude, you got you fins on the wrong sides." One guy surfed big Waiamea with his back fins on the wrong sides. It's pretty easy to do. Funny you don't drive over the bridge. Will travel across the globe, but won't cross the bridge for good waves.
how can ppl not tell?!?!? that's like putting the wrong shoe on the wrong foot lmfao you literally see and feel if your blind a flat side and the other side will be rounded/ slightly curved and the middle feels the same on both sides.
No the fins were symmetrical. No flat side.
@@brettbarley then how do you know it was wrong I’ve never seen symmetrical fins I just use the same three pairs for all my boards
Wow...
Because they are canted at an angle from the fin box. Shape is the same, but angle of fin from the base is different.
Amazing you can find a peak or shoulder, gnarly!
Getting out of those barrels was rare. Whew.
Can I ask what your height and weight is? For dimensions reference:)
5'9" x 163-165lbs
Love the music in the 1st 10 min.
Who is it Brett
Great video 📹 👍
Dude! Fix your headliner in your car! 😂 Sick barrels too
😂😂
Great waves, great episode!!
Heavy waves. We got it good down here in Florida. Hopefully more to come.
Love your vids Brett! Thank you for all the effort you put in for us! Surf City was good these swells too (finally!)
and I appreciate the support and stoke! thank you :)
Awesome video Brett cant wait for pt 2 !
What are your thoughts on Ghost vs Pig Dog? They seem like their shapes and bottom contours are very similar and you've surfed them both so what are your thoughts?
I haven’t ridden the Ghost enough. Rode it today though. Felt good. Different. I’m gonna break it down in a video once I ride it more
I need more videos!! Hurricane Ian!?!?
Amazing stuff. Do people fishing in the current when the swell is up like this ever catch anything? I have never seen a single fish pulled out in these conditions
Did you see the fish caught in the video? Guy got a nice puppy drum I filmed.
@@brettbarley missed it. That is awesome. Must be tough with the current
We were there in early June, not as big as this but pretty big and current ripping down the beach. Got a 32in and 38in drum with sandfleas right in the fast current between shore and the sandbar, very close to the beach. The guys launching bait way out weren't catching anything.
OUTSTANDING Can't wait for part 2 Nuff said👍

@24:30 yup, looks like the flat sides are out lol
Funny, I hadn't ridden a quad in probably TWENTY years until this summer, and now I can't get off of it. Even on more solid days. Yeah, it's a bit squirrelly, but the speed is so addicting.
Love your vids man 🔥🔥
Do you wear ear buds of some sort? just curious why...
Every session for over a year now. My surfers ear (bone growth) is nearly closed up so I can’t even dunk my head under in a pool without getting water trapped. I need surgery and ear plugs are just letting me wait a little longer. I wish I started wearing em sooner
@@brettbarley Damn, that ear driling is a bitch!
Was that a red boy the guy caught at 13.15?
Yep. Nice one. I believe over slot.
OH MY GOSH! Awesome!!!😮
Gnar gnar on the outside bar
The slow motion barrel at the nine minute mark!
Expecting nearly double this next week. Imma die
22ft 15s strong east wind…
Killer drone shot on that crazy one 🤙
Why doesn't the East Coast like a 15sec+ period? Sand bottoms are too soft to really throw it?
Sand bottoms too straight and shallow… no shape, it closes out.
East Coast sandbars are incredibly hard packed. Very fine sand. Hits like concrete.
Twin fin. That 9:15 was a cavern
Humble Nation💪💪
Quad or twin with trailer. I left behind the thruster for now.
Sick edit
YEWWWWW that one long barrel though!
How do you maintain your energy? After 3 hours of hurricane swell I'm spent.
Oatmeal in morning…
Snacks: grass fed beef sticks, power crunch bars, fig bars, liquid IV for snacks. Apple & oranges sometimes.
Lunch is hit or miss… sometimes I get it, other days like this one I just load up on those snacks I listed. Lots of protein.
Load up on carbs when surf is pumping and sessions are long. Bananas, doughnuts (yes, doughnuts!), honey, coffee, You will feel like on crack and catch sooo many waves in pumping surf for three hours straight lmfaoooo then eat some more and repeat
When is part 2 coming.
I'd love to say this week... but we have days of swell lined up, so I'm not sure I'll get it done. Likely next week.
Nice barrel
Sam Hawk used to make me a channel bottom quad 5'11 that was best board ever
Yooo I've been wanting to take a trip up that way I'm from Wilmington but I bodyboard dealing with a hairline fracture on my ribs from a shore break and even with the ribs hurting I tried to go out last Thursday for the storm took a nice 6ft on the head hahaha called it a day so the healing begins all over again 🤙

Lol I’m constantly worried that mine (quads)are in wrong (I don’t think they are?!?)
So gnarly
in the tube im always quad.... gives me more security... but im no pro or anythin so it doesnt mttter

😂😂😂😂 got me
Haha, that's what I was thinking! Manteo class of '91
I don't drive over the bridge, lol!
Did you guys check the point?
No waves out there on days like this.
@@brettbarley yeah, it's fickle af, that's why I never hardly went there (well, that and no 4wd!).

So bombing 💙🤙👊
What did you mean. “ you don’t drive over the bridge “
The bridge that separates the island I live on from the mainland. I just never go north of it to surf on a given day

Twin fin
that is about as good as the east coast gets..u scored....if it would get that good often you would be set ..but it doesn't go off very much
eh???
I don't know how you ride a 5'8" in conditions like that when the timing is so critical

Very nice video. Atrocious "music". What's wrong with using the sounds of nature - of the surf - instead of the *de* *rigueur* metal?
Because that’s not a movie… there’s no mood to create or editing to do. Anyone can just post raw footage. I like to make mini movies.
