I’m almost positive that I’m in this video! I’m pretty sure that’s my car driving by Kahului Beach Road as those jet skis are being put in the water. After 35 years of windsurfing, that’s about as close as us mortals will ever get to riding those waves. This footage was incredible. I gasped as that windsurfer gut sucked under. I can’t imagine how terrifying that must be.
Great footage,as an old surfer... ( With plenty of experience getting the S**T kicked out of me in the washing machine) have never heard the whole surfing thing explained better... The feeling is often so intense that words can seem not enough... No other experience can match it... And Big Brass Ones are essential.
I would love to see an imax version of this, especially a water level shot. Some of the waves didn't look real at first viewing, they were so enormous.
One of the Best vids ever, God the waves are ball tearers, the surfing is beyond next level, naration is so perfect, thank God U all got home, what a brotherhood, the ultimate. Thanks Ian & crew, epic 🤯😃👍🇦🇺
Ian sounds like a physicist or engineer when he speaks. Very analytical. No surprise that he's such a successful big wave surfer. Cheers to u brother 🤙
EPIC waves & surfers!!! I like the way he explained what it was like to be on a wave and the feeling....as best you can without actually riding it. INCREDIBLE!!
About 6:48 in, the camera angle for the wave ridden by Ridge Lenny gives one of the best views of just how huge the waves are. For a moment, It literally did not look real.
I was there in 01/2014, never seen waves like that. It was after a storm. The news said the waves were at least 50 ft. There was a helicopter circling and quite a few men on jet skies to help the surfers. I thought 10 ft waves on Lake Erie were huge, but this was amazing. Glad I was on Maui then, once in a life time event for me.
I want to hear a full interview with the guy who went over the falls backwards on that bomb.....and the windsurfer who stepped off at the bottom of the same bomb. When I first saw it in January.....It gave me nightmares. I thought the tow surfer was going to end up a sail-wrapped death burrito falling onto that windsurf sail....
Major props to Justine Dupont, not sure if she was the only girl charging, but her barrel at 3:53 was mental! I honestly didn't think she was going to make that
Frozen shoulder means not being able to surf for 2 years. The most meaningful part of this vid for me was hearing Ian say that going back to a short board was like riding a bike. You guys are all surfers watching this. You know what it means. Imagine someone telling you "Right! No surfing for 2 years!" Yeah. Not a good feeling.
I skate vert...an i notice those big waves mavs an such slow or buckle an stall on the face making u have to pull a rabbit out of a hat to stay on ur board when the steep drop of speed stalls as u the water buckle an down shift tje speed of the face just when ur ecpecting speed to increase it stalls...that as best as i can see from these far away shots...thanks for the cool shots of nature what are those guys doing out there on those little boards...tiny little folks too....
You deserve a real sponsor mate. RedBull is not a surf brand. Its not skating or mountaineering brand either. Its a massive corporation that cares about nothing but investors and sales. Evil.

Good story. What's the timer say at that point ? 😀

One word sums up Ian: *SOLID*
INSANE! The speed of the real-time footage makes the size and mass of the waves even more overwhelming.

@@pcm7315 THAT WOULD BE SO AWESOME! I would pay money for that.
Best vision of crazy yet.love it.

Couldn't agree more!

Very impressive..
This production quality is not conducive to a 5k sub channel - this is 500k+ sub level production... severely underrated bro
EPIC waves & surfers!!! I like the way he explained what it was like to be on a wave and the feeling....as best you can without actually riding it. INCREDIBLE!!
I remember getting sucked back over a wave when I was a grommit on a 3 foot day 😊😊watching that guy get dragged back over is the stuff of nightmares.
Fantastic footage, brilliant explanation and commentary

Great footage I’m not really a surfing fan but I appreciate the content
Excellent video, Ian. Appreciate “hearing” you without music drowning out your voice ! Excellent!
He is surprisingly articulate no ums no ahs no dudes ... well spoken and clear... and a great surfer
So many incredible rides during a captivating season. Well done, all!!!
I will NEVER get tired of watching pro surfers catch monster waves like that and make it look easy! Would love to surf waves like that at some point!!
Really love how you narrate the whole experience, well put

One of the better videos I watched
When the surfer looks like an RC surfer you know it is a big wave.
I want to hear a full interview with the guy who went over the falls backwards on that bomb.....and the windsurfer who stepped off at the bottom of the same bomb. When I first saw it in January.....It gave me nightmares. I thought the tow surfer was going to end up a sail-wrapped death burrito falling onto that windsurf sail....
Yeah me too. Looks really like the badest over the falls I’ve ever seen. Ever.
Wish we could track em down!
@@IanWalsh Maybe he'll resurface someday...
Sick ass waves!! Great video!! Deserves a million views 🤙 I miss Maui
Wow…incredibly huge waves. These guys are studs.
Major props to Justine Dupont, not sure if she was the only girl charging, but her barrel at 3:53 was mental! I honestly didn't think she was going to make that
This was probably the best big wave vids i have seen .. please do some more and good luck to you all.
Yes, the wind's almost always blowing up there. Surfed a BIG day with Ian at Hokeeps. Biggest day I ever surfed.
Wow totally insane surfing , I love watching you guys , Australia
Wow, massive! It is hard to imagine how huge these waves are.
EPIC WAVES SO HUGE .respect all you big wave chargers
Makua still charging the biggest rides, gotta be considered one of the best to ever do it!
Monsters. And I'm not just talking about the waves.
Monsters?!?! Where?!

The off shore wind 🌬 holds the face of the wave 🌊 up higher.

That drone scared me off, though it was a bug on my screen
Some of the biggest barrels I've seen not to forget these watermen and waterwomen slicing and dicing them. Makin it llook easy. Merry F'n Christmas.
Ian is an amazing surfer and good guy!
At 52. I'm super conditioned, I surf every Florida hurricane. I could not survive a Wipeout. I'm 100% certain it would kill me. I have serious respect
05:11 „... got annihilated ... super violent...“ (laughs)
Great footage ! Impressive 30 foot waves they are surfing
I like that he talks re the dangers. Else it seems sooooo easy.
amazing waves, amazing riders, keep up the good work.
Good talk through
Loved it. Really good video.
What is the name of the song at 3:23? Epic track!!
Cunningham Manor - Certain Point of View
Awsome shit Ian!! Stay safe my Guy!!
Amazing! Horrific! Beautiful! Unbelievable! Incredible! Just everything in one.
waouh! soon they'll be enough place for a rocket in this kind of barrelz.
Amazing guyz !!! 🌊👌✨
Great interview does anybody know how big approximately those waves are in these clips? They look easily 40 to 50 ft on the face
how much foot of those waves?
Awesome.
Great video, thank you!
daaaym these waves are in-f**king -sane
One word, WOW. X
Gladiators!
That would be so lit catching one of these monsters with your best friend
Amazing video!
Kai's wave at 5:24. Holy sh**
I miss the plane to be there so ended up surfing bognor regis
Maybe a heavier board can factor out the wind.
These waves look fucking terrifying
Good breakdown.
Nice! So cool!
Great dialogue....those waves are just evil
Amazing!!
Ni words. Epic day.. legends riding bombs. Insane,
I’d love to see the view of the guy on the ski dropping those guys in.
Track at the end?
Hardcore 👍

Fantastic Video.. Thank you. Monster perection.
You deserve a real sponsor mate. RedBull is not a surf brand. Its not skating or mountaineering brand either. Its a massive corporation that cares about nothing but investors and sales. Evil.
Insane....
Those waves are fucking astounding...
Wow...the surfer going backwards over the falls and the windsurfer getting thrashed on the same wave... 💀
Maybe in the next life!
Crazy good to big
alternative or real Jaws?
He speaks: Deegan's literal tongua! He swallows - his tongue! N Korean - word: To(ng)a -- terrorism.
It means: We swallow, our tongues.
Amazing
Thou Shalt Not Tempt The Lord Thy God - But then again....“Be of good courage!
Were they stoked?😁
No inflation vest that windsurfer or the guy stuck inside that went over on a square 30'er they'd have drowned. So heavy.
Wasn't it Eli who went over the falls on that monster?
Was it? Has he surfaced yet?
Can Jaws compete with Nazaré?
Justine's day.
is it possible to do this in your 40's ?
