[boortchu]

watch a blank canvas on you tube, and maybe you'll respect bodyboarders like we do respect you.tahitian bodyboarder.K

[kaYboi8o8]

i hate people who say surfing is better or bodyboarding is better. Get over yourselves, seriously....both bodyboarders and surfers are in the ocean for the same reason. And thats to have fun doing what the love to do.

this bodyboarding and surfing feud is really ridiculous to me.

When you surf at this level it doesn't matter if you ride an ironing board. I wish the surfing community would get the hell over what sort of craft you ride! Good work you are all very brave!

[chris12334]

What size of board do you have to have to surf these waves ??

Anyone who knowes tell me please ...

[traviszildjianbarker]

legends... absolute legends..!

[peekay1984]

heard body boarders are more likely to get chewed by a shark compared to surfers. any truth to this? any close calls? I just started BB.. gettin a bit tense in water , no shark nets where I live

[astralhed]

Sharks only attack surfers because they are mistaken for seals. Thats why they are spit out after one bite instead of being eaten. I never heard the bodyboarder comparison but it makes sense that a bodyboarder (especially with fins on) looks more like a seal from the shark's perspective. Thanks for the tip, I'll start surfing around bodyboarders for now on as an added safety measure, lol.

[astralhed]

Where do you bodyboard? I surf in Florida. Africa and Australia are some of the more dangerous places.

[jaimito707]

Sick vid man. I would wear a helmet there too.

[alexandrepisco]

q doideira

[69bonzo69]

Haha brenden went to my school.

[loscovas3]

The feeling of being on a body board and down in the wave and being able to feel the power is awsome! It's so much more fun than being up above the wave, on a surf board.

[mcgill01]

i had sex with your mum

[OCSpongR]

Thats one sick spot and deserves top ranking respect. Those two fools at the 4 minute mark are lucky to be alive.

Supernice video

*EASTCOAST*U.S.A.*

[kacangbauk]

Learn to speak

 before u show off

[darrinjeffrieskilla]

"SICK" "SICK"

[tbatc3]

Yeeeww bodyboarders 4 life

[rondog222]

why do you fucking surfers go on body board vids just to leave dumb ass coments. fuck u guys. ok? surfing is hard i admit but body boarding involves skill to do tricks.

[jeff1surfs]

How about subtitles? say what? say that again?

Take the sock out of your mouth bruddah..

[oranjpitbull]

u rnt aussie r u lol

[Dilly91]

yh love to see a surfer do air and ARS you bucnh of drop in kooks

[asdwer13243546576879]

lets see all these surfers do like 15 foot airs then

[weevum]

bodyboarding is for people who cant surf well, pure and simple

[jadeandboy]

good call you idiot surfing is for ppl who cant bodyboard then

[weevum]

yea good one, anyone who can surf can bodyboard, what skill does it envolve to lie on a board and be pushed along, sounds really challenging! What do u think surfers do the whole time they arent standing up? any surfer has pretty much mastered the skill of bodyboarding by simply catching a wave, regardless of wether they stand up.

[ImIntoBaseball22]

wow you idiot, being pushed along is one thing. Doing tricks, getting air, going fast is totally different. go suck a fat one.

[rocktheflow]

That's a lot of ignorance for one person. You really shouldn't comment on things you have no knowledge about. I'm a bodyboarder and love just how much we can do on a wave, but I also have a deep respect for a good surfer. The point is, each person decides what appeals to them most. Grow up and represent your sport properly by sharing the ocean and showing respect to all.

[killerboarder]

i will admit you could say that thats why bodyoarding is a sport but it has realy evolved with air's and many other sports + some breaks arnt surfable come talk to me when you ahve a video of you takign of on a surfboard on one of these waves

[oranjpitbull]

lets see a surfer surf cyclops then idiot

[Smolchy79]

hate too burst your bubble but they do surf cyclops stand up, its been in all major mags lately constantly,

[Rutherman]

[englishsponger]

well said dilly bro! spongers till we die :)

[Dilly91]

cheers dude

I REALLY HATE SURFERS

[NCsurfrider]

Quit talking shit.  Your not even that good at sponging. Even I used to be a sponger so I no what your talking about. Once I stood up on a real board I could never leave. Its way better than sponging cause you get more speed and can do more tricks, like rebounds, cutbacks, and gouges. Surfing is way better.

[Dilly91]

shut up you surfing wanker SPONGERS CAN DO ALOT MORE TRIX THAN YOU TWATS BACK AND FORWARD BACK AND FORWARD WE GOT ALOT MORE STUFF MATE JOG ON YOU PIKEY WE CAN DO(ARS,CUTBACK,FORWARD AND BACK SPINS, AIR, ROLLS, AND MANY MORE ALL YOU NOBS DO IS DROP IN AND WOW U CAN GO FAST BONER (GOON) CHECK IT

[kegboyman]

[Vederin]

Where you guys surf? Sick waves :)

[LowAstral]

[sydneygraff]

[ralley22]

And the best/worst thing is. These waves look even bigger in person.

[stripe098]

Lol i did that at the airport! When i was goin 2 Shipstern Bluff!

[englishsponger]

omfg u been shipstern :O wat was it like

[kirrabeachbum]

what song is this?

[schouten85]

songs of a dead poet...the panic division

[mknickp2013]

wow

[jkiller123]

doesnt matter wat the name is!

its just the size of the wave thats amazing and important cuz if the waves wer small no1 would even care about the name!

[bodyboardboi]

how does anyone get the balls and guts to ride these waves?

[thurukk]

Confidence. As you charge bigger and bigger waves, you gain the confidence to go bigger again. Takes a while to hit this size but once you do you don't look back :)

[camboboog]

Also a common mistranslation is brought about from a historical point, when two tribes fought each other in the area, the victor built a wall of decapitated skulls to strike fear into any more takers, so sometimes it gets called 'the wall of skulls'. Anyways, call it what you like, it is a nuts wave.

[shizen18]

the guy at 5.50 nearly ate shit and the fish fillets that are on the reef =]

[camboboog]

for gustavito and shiftykilla, the name 'teahupoo' means 'end of the road', as, funnily enough, thew road to the reef ends at the access point to the water. Just thought I would like to share that with you.

[matheusmendescosta]

no. teahupoo means broken skulls

[camboboog]

Not trying to be the man or anything, but I have been there, and have been assured by the locals that the closest translation is 'where the road ends', 'the end of the road' was adopted to give a more abrupt name to such a powerful wave. So it seems the progression has continued, translations have been lost and misinterpreted by media/dvd icons who are putting a spin on a place that really needs no namesake. Don't trust me? Go there.

[matheusmendescosta]

dunno. i saw the broken skulls translation un Surf Adventures, a brazillian surf movie

[HomiePhobe]

the guy at 2:01 almost completly ate shit

[jandi16]

What's the name of the song ???

[lookn0ver]

i noticed no one was getting ''trick&cocky'' with this form.

and that was prolly a smart move on everyones part.

those are nasty bombs!

thanx 4 posting!

[sbodyboardw]

[gustavito87]

people call this plase "chopo"."chopo means surf spot "teahupoo" means broken skulls

[shiftykilla]

did you get that off the billabong odyssey?

[danharward]

Thats not true - Choo-pu as people call it is how the word Teahupoo is pronounced - I was there last year and thats how the locals say it.

[afafafafafafajal]
