LOL

[BBT1099]

I was waiting for a surfer to come by on that wave and slap the judge in that tower a high five. Ha ha ha ha ha.

[KoalaBearWarrior]

how do you break your leg in 6 feet of water?

[annamgg]

this guy's bringing back 'holy crap'. love it

[Digeo4]

god its like the titanic with out the ship

[mbudd121]

You can certainly tell smart people from stupid people. The smart ones were the ones running away before it hit and the stupid ones were the ones who stood still and let the wave wipe em out. watch again, you'll see.

[NAURIS707]

time to go home

[Hellcoam]

What guy

...

WHAT GUY?!

[Superstats1]

@Hellcoam i thinkm to the guy that hit the guy out of the water in middle screen

Extermination.

[DeezeeNDaBeezee]

m-m-m-m-m-MULTI KILL

[Godzillasaurus167]

Doesn't look that bad, the one in Sri Lanka was scary as hell

[Velusius]

Holy crap! Look at that guY! ... wich guy?

[123randomdude]

MULTI KILL!

[dc1030guy]

Stupid quesiton ... could this have anything to do with the recent seismic activity?

[ketchdust]

no, it happened because of 40 foot waves, very high tide, and a very westerly swell direction.

waves happen.

[sushimamba7]

No, rather than recent seismic activity, it has a lot to do with a lack of brain activity - 40 ft waves, high tide and people still think they're safe standing there rubber-necking like stunned mullets.

[GahDub]

See the two guys at the upper end of the break wall? One guy jumps up momentarily to the rock behind him...but gets swept down anyhow...........that's my son. He and his friend were standing at that vantage point because the thought it was "safe". I almost peed my pants when he called me to look at this I was cracking up so hard. But, I'm 58 and people laugh at me all the time when I fall down....so there! lol

[illicitstill]

Great shot, you can watch this video 20 times eying what happened to individual people. Glad nobody was seriously hurt.

[spacepunk82]

I wonder how many iphones were destroyed.

That is some icy cold water too.

[TheFartWorks]

Holes in my Crap! Holy Moly!!!!!!

[nitebot]

Best shot of the incident yet. That group on the rock at 0.12 went straight in the water.

[bigoceandotnet]

perfect commentary

[crazyblackfoot]

Latest report states the spectators involved are all feeling a little " salty " over the ordeal.

[69bonzo69]

Lmfao. The speaker tower is so close to landing on someones head. Great that it didnt.

[123randomdude]

lmao!

[gravitymindofgod]

...Next Up Hurricane of Winter,

[socialmediaguru]

wow ...the best part is the people up on that tower thingy ....they GOT OWNED!! HAHAA

[Rep0007]

Hey those people can now all brag they body-surfed Maverick's on a big day! They got wiped out but so did all the pros... right?

[r0j0d0j0]

LOL!

[lucrativ]

0:05 There's your broken bones - the 3(?) people out on the jetty .

[brownspaceman]

good thing nobody was seriously injured.... its pretty funny to watch knowing that...

[srmanek]

A few injuries, we saw some lady getting her arm wrapped in a cast by the paramedics. Some guy looked like he broke his ankle or leg.

[LoveYourDNA]

Tsunami like condition

[quickboat22]

Damn, who are these left coasties gonna sue for damages?

[mmintoncnn]

That is sick. Never turn your head on mother nature. You'll get bitch slapped!

[mwcbd8]

Did anybody else see the person almost get crushed by the speaker falling. watch it again if you didn't. That person was lucky.

[burningcold1993]

@mwcbd8

oh crap! i didnt realise that haha that was pretty fricken close though!

[DxExNxNxIxS]

I remember a simulair case.

It was in earlier days, years ago, caused by quick passenger hydrofoil boat between French and England many miles away.

[Traveler2112]

Mother Nature: Laying the smack down for 4.5billion years.

PS: Glad everyones ok.

[eyeojo]

crap is unholy

[MistyOjaiGirl]

I wonder how much camera equipment bit the dust in that instant?

[MistyOjaiGirl]

"Holy Crap, look at that guy" LOL

[Montaramusic]

Great Video... There is a lot a force in the wall of water. Luckily, we were on the bluffs!

[adventureman3000]

Hey, we got a broken leg over here!

Great video, dude.

[NugzFan85]

I was right by the tent near the awards booth when this hit. Luckily I got out of the way in time and wasn't injured. I hope everyone recovers okay! This shit was crazy lol

[ScottHMBCA]

Damn crazy! Yes it is the ocean

[10footjesus]

i'm bummed i didn't drive home for the event, but i'm glad i wasn't standing in the way of that!

[yogatoes]

"Holy Crap!"

[pshawnmcgraw]

sheesh. great shot. so lucky there was only a broken ankle and a leg.

[SuperElastigirl]

@pshawnmcgraw

I was standing on the scaffold in the center of this video... We are waiting for a day, but i think I broke a rib or two...
