PADDLE-IN : JAWS

[surfrida808]

You so full of shit!

[briankeenan21]

oh shit is that a shark right behind him at :24 in the back left

[PureDIGITALMaui]

kinda funny the comments on here....completely clueless to the point of the vid. its a record of when the early paddlers at Jaws went for it. also, you all, except a few, obviously have never been to a big wave spot, let alone Peahi. can't even articulate the situation, conditions, feelings. but mahalo for all your comments. My suggestion, ask questions before making long drawn out statements based on not much at all as far as experience and/or insight. It is what it is people. aloha & mahalo

[mrkaahaaina]

k first of all this is considered a small day at jaws. secondly, ya it had a descent face making the take-off and the drop nice but...had no shoulder!! taking the drop is one thing, but riding the wave is different. riding the wave now makes you have to set a line (high or low). i wanna c some speed turns off the top to some crazy bottom turns. Work that rail

[surfrida808]

Sad.

[Rollsie6666]

Ummm yea not that big and looks pretty fat for Jaws. Infact looks kinda fun. woudn't want to cop it on the head though and Iv'e heard i'ts a bitch on the inside.

[kiter147]

nice!!!!

[TheCodyRawlek]

small day at jaws

[TheJMAC611]

a surfer like me would say that wave was about 4 to 5 feet maby 6

[jamiemicka]

@TheJMAC611 well are you retarded?

[MRscope1424]

wow this is amazing especially since he did'nt get tow'd in, you cant imagine how hard it is to do what this man did.

[msilva12000]

For those iditots who think this wave is small, just look down on a 5 floor building, and try to see how comfortable are you jumping on a mat in case of a fire!

Respect the surfer Rodrigo Resende, "the monster", he's a big wave rider champion since 1998 in Todos Santos, and also won the first tow in iat Jaws in 2002 with Garret Mcnamara.

[chaddow100]

datz not even big brah come on guy at least try paddle into a 20 footer

[ignaciomilanez]

já que só falam inglees e não portugues vou falar qualquer coisaa VOCÊS QUEIMAM ROSCA - o vídeo e bom ;]

[flipsk8punks]

song?



[opieradios]

lame

[cpkingcp]

@opieradios whats lame about this, the fact that this guy can surf and you cant?

[jackarss69]

Golf is way more intense than this.

[milobejot]

that was a sahrk in the back _?

[tobie180]

That was the worst video if ever seen

[jordyboy056]

man that drop in waaas huge !

[olhaAserie]

Brazilian is very good in big waves

[olhaAserie]

Brazilian is very good in big waves

[MrGeorgerox123]

wow

[soothingrash]

Inside mushburger.

[rlauren123456]

@soothingrash yah that wasnt that big for jaws and it was super mush

[camserr7]

@rlauren123456 Your right, that was a shitty day at Jaws and it wasn't all that impressive either. I will attempt a paddle in at Jaws when its actually going off, not when its gnarly huge but definitely barreling. Mark Visser surfed that wave at night, granted it was a tow in, but who the fuck has the balls to surf Jaws at night? That takes 2 pair hahahaha

[pumkinbreath]

ego wankers

[uponthedownside]

Nobody paddles in to jaws, its all about tow-in there because the wave pitches so fast. paddling jaws is insane PERIOD.

[weeheadify]

awsome, thats getting close to a 3ft face!!!

[MutilateYOU]

Sports like tennis, soccer, basketball, etc require 1 ball... surfing and Bogeyboarding require 2! :"D

[grompopsicle]

bogeyboarding r u gay?

[MutilateYOU]

@grompopsicle That's how they pronounce in Brazil, sorry for my english.

[theremoteholder]

@MutilateYOU bodyboarding is for faggots

[MutilateYOU]

@theremoteholder I do both, and i have to say, respectively, they are both fun.

[XKAYNEX100]

@MutilateYOU so have i but i have more bodyboarding than surfing cause i found that there is more dickhead surfs than bodyboarders

[MutilateYOU]

@XKAYNEX100 Maybe were you live, but not in Brasil :I

[SHAG18]

@MutilateYOU well i wouldn't exactly call "bodyboarders" people but yes, they do require 2 balls as well

[MutilateYOU]

@SHAG18 I must disagree, a bit, the "bodyboarders" at Duengones and Cyclops o.O Kudos to them.

[eagledynasty81]

@MutilateYOU bogeyboarding requires none. fucking faggot

[MutilateYOU]

@eagledynasty81 Whao man, calm down ^^. If you don't think they require no balls. Please paddle-in at Cyclops with ease with a surfboard. and I find most of the bodyboard tricks really cool to watch such as an ARS or air reverse 360 and drop-ins...

[eagledynasty81]

@MutilateYOU bodyboarding takes as much skill as farting.

[camserr7]

@eagledynasty81 HAHAHAHAHA!!! Im pretty sure farting requires a little more skill.

[lucivarx]

@eagledynasty81 u know nuthing bout bodyboarding... shutup...

[dingorooo]

@MutilateYOU and those are made of steel!!

[weezy31069]

@MutilateYOU yewr a pussy

[andrePDmagalhaes]

@MutilateYOU im pretty sure you stole that comment

[XPfucker]

@MutilateYOU

I got 3 Balls! cool because i play Tenis and surt, that rules!

[lastmast]

@MutilateYOU body boarding 1.5 :)

[PhazerOfficial]

@MutilateYOU you gain 100% of my respect because you put bodyboarding in there. thank you

[bazcando]

Wow! I didn't know Jaws worked when it was that small. I bet there was a pretty good wave somewhere that day.

[ernstism]

theahupoo is ten times worse

[cutloose]

@ernstism who gives A shit, im watching jaws right now shut the fuck up with the obvious comments

[hugosk8]

At 0:25 is that a shark there ?!

[grambosix]

@hugosk8 damnn i dunno man! It looks like a shark breached there. crazy.

[Ro7772155]

That wave was so easy, Even If he stacked it he wouldn't get owned, The wave peek's and then finishes pretty much straight away... I'm super un-impressed, totally not worth putting on youtube.

[anonymous812]

Great timing! But you have to remember back in the day there was no such thing as tow-in!

[fredlokes]

only people who surfs understands how difficult is to paddle in such waves.....

[spiceymike2121]

boring

[franklinms22]

I pretty much blow at surfing and I wouldn't ever say this guy sucks.

[DrewCannon]

Haha nah bro way to big I'm pretty sure that's a guy sitting in the line up at 25sec, but damn these guys tots titanium balls and I thought 10ft overhead was pushingnit

[TYSTAKEN22]

wow at like 25 seconds a jaws fin in the background ha

[themasterdrumer94942]

yea paddle in is hard or impossible depending on the sise of the wave but i thought it was going to be jaws on a big day . Still this is cool. Best paddle in surfers in the world surf Mavs. That shit is tuff and dangerous.

[coasterfreak8989]

gay

[youlosez]

I'm 100% certain that those who diss the surfer paddling into this large wave can't surf for shit.

[mathproof]

No one is disrepecting this surfer. Most of us have as a reference Laird Hamilton being chased for three minutes by Jaws waves measuring the size of three houses arranged as a short stack. Hence, compared to that we make our comments. Laird has been quoted as saying that "you can't just go get waves everyday", which means that there are times when it is relatively calm.

[clarkewi]

@youlosez Yeah brah. Now the Mavs guys are starting to paddle what had been thought could only be towed. It's just a matter of time before it starts happening at Jaws as this hellman shows. Pushing the envelope - but the board looks massive.

[unluckytourist]

@clarkewi Other way round. Guys always used to paddle mavs, then kooks started towing on it, and now its going back to paddling in.

[clarkewi]

@unluckytourist . I lived there brah, know all the principal players and watched it all go down. Oct 2000 was the first day they (Clark, Mel, Skinny) tried it with 60 foot faces easy. Eric Nelson made a movie about it called "Year of the Drag-in" - explains it all. You can read an interview I did with Clark on my website about a week before the monster swell hit and he describes their newly made equipment etc. - they had been training all summer for waves too big to paddle and pulled it.

[jkal0802]

@youlosez umm I can surf for shit...and as far as this wave.....hahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah­ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha­hahahahahhahahahahahhahahahahh­ahahahahhahahahahahahhahahahah­ahha

[alextheskaterdude07]

Who cares if it was soft and only a few and not many times overead!

You don't have to talk sh*t just because it not as pumping as it can get.

The point of the vid is that he PADDLED,

not the size of the wave.

I give him props still.

[jjs4you2]

What none of you realize is that this video was taken at about 200' up on cliffs over looking Jaws, so the video is looking down on the wave which gives you zero perspective of the waves height.

For you big Bill fans on the East Coast, the waves you got during Bill would not even break at places like Jaws, Mavericks, Todo's or Cortez Bank all of which don't start to come on until 20 plus!

Bill's waves would be shore break at Mavericks and Todo's and wouldn't even break at Cortez Bank.

[mathproof]

I understand your comment. What we do have is the perspective of the wave to the surfer. Even at 200 ft, a the ratio of a sixty foot face and a six foot man would be perceptible.

On a related note, according to the 'Riding with Giants' surfing documentary, Jaws is suppose to be a 'tow-in' spot. So I'm confused: was the person driven the line up and from there paddle into the way or was it a straight paddle from the shore? Thanks.

[benbowtheturd]

@mathproof seen other footage where they climb down to the bottom and paddle out from there. Takes some balls tho!

[mathproof]

I agree with you: paddling out into the ocean takes great courage. I don't even surf. I do enjoy watching excellence in any activity, which is why I like watching people like Laird Hamilton.

[kevincebollas]

WTF WAS THAT IN 0:25 MIN!!!!

:O!!! HAHAH damn.. sweet men.. but.. what was that thing.. xD

[meadyGk]

do you mean on the left?

[kevincebollas]

YES!?!?

[meadyGk]

it's a surfer..

[kevincebollas]

WTF!?!?!

nooo!!

not that surfer...

 the thing that its on

0:25!!!

X3

ooh.. wait.. yeea.. its a surfer. x)

eeem.. ok bay xD

[billywillgo]

Rod-rigo surfes like a girl!

[reganbentz]

learn to spell

[qax41]

lol he paddle into a shit wave

[lesserknowncrook]

fuk towing

[surfingpinetrees]

no, if you pause it at 25 where you see the "shark" it's actually just another surfer on his board

[AkauntJednihBudala]

0:25 o.O haha

[DdSSonicScienceLab]

haha... its there.

[metalschooldrill]

That wave mushed right out and it's got this grinding guitar? I don't think so jack.

[IAmATampon]

sorry but that's not a very big wave... we had that during bill, bout that at least tho.... that might have been a 15 foot wave, on some real good sets we got 13 footers.... and rhode island? forget about it..... 20 footers on some waves, EASY

I rode bill in florida on a log..

[Cayne590]

i rode it on a 5'8 twin fin fish, the biggest i caught on bill was 13 feet and it was sweeeeet

[tomasleeman]

Sick

[timtropolis]

thats another dude not a shark.

[evolution270]

No it's just another surfer in the line-up :)

[mydogsmellslikechips]

that was absolutely more amazing than amazing multiplied times amazing squared

[D3m4pples]

thats not jaws thats flordia i should know i live in florida

[roadbikerob]

well that was a waste of time

[defhi3644]

its a lil mushy

[don7205]

Didn't you guys watch that movie? Those sharks are dangerous - kidding...

[BrnWitGrn]

Jaws is the name of the spot people, not a shark reference.

[BrnWitGrn]

Looks fun btw

[iamgaribaldi12]

that wave sucked

[fluidsonly]

not a shark but another surfer in the line-up

[bikiniisland]

shark..shark...um no matter we'll keep surfing mon. lol

[176csmith176]

no way thats peahi

[jmminu]

why would it not be Peahi? It's consistent with the fact it's filmed from the cliff, also that it backs off in deeper water when it's small (Like it is here), and the fact it's very uncrowded unless it gets to tow-in size. At waimea there would be 30 guys at this size and the water doesn't have this texture.

[BrnWitGrn]

Yup, even the angle the wave hits the reef at is consistent with Jaws

[alextheskaterdude07]

Jaws and Peahi are the same thing.

[jmminu]

looks super easy.. even easier than small waimea due to the wave backing off right after it starts breaking... But the take off certainly looks fun.

[georgemc25]

anyone else see the shark at 0:25? haha!

[malau1995]

yea!! i saw it at the back of the wave

[n8wolin]

I don't see it

[georgemc25]

at 0:25, top lefthand corner XD

[manbearpigislost]

not a shark thats another person sitting on their board....

[wikedrsx05]

Dude you're crazy!! That wasnt quite Grant Washburn hand-taming a 50 footer at mavs but thats a pretty impressive big wave paddle-in regardless!

[EthanASmith]

That was a major disappointment. Watching a grom tear up a 6 footer woulda been more entertaining.

[JonasBrosHawaii]

the place was barely breaking, just capping on the reef,and shot from a 100 ft cliff.....still takes balls...

[aconk99]

First of all, the dude who said thats an 8 foot wave should kill himself. The face on that thing is 18 feet minimum (triple over head), making the wave itself probably around 12-15 feet. It's not nearly as big as it gets on the north shore, but lets be real, its still a big wave. and for everyone saying its a nothing wave...it just makes you look like a dumbass.

[mattymoyoyo]

i agree it is a big wave but look at the end the wave drops away into a hole so it wouldnt be very powerful

[crazymonkeyshank]

this is probably the most powerful wave in hawaii(maybe not in this video). it gets WAY bigger here than the north shore except for waimea because it can get similar size

[PeruvianGuitar]

aconk99 the guy who said it was 8 feet meant it as a hawaiian 8 feet. if you dont know what that means then your the guy who should go kill himself. and yah it probably is around 9 or 10 hawaiian feet.

[JAWDO]

he was lucky that one even broke hahaha.. still out there and thats better than what a lot of these kooks could say.. there might have been a 20 footer behind that one you never know- crazy just been out there...

[blacksabbath62]

hahaha ... what a joke! took off on an 8 foot wave that died after takeoff big deal!!!!

[DoheyUsuck]

thats insane! every1 ratting on it saying its a tiny wave obviously dont surf because to paddle and drop off that is a feat in itself, messing up the drop would be the most painful thing ever

[blacksabbath62]

your kidding arnt you ? that would be a nothing wipeout. Have a look at pipeline, sunset , etc wipeouts, that was so weak!!! lol

[morge9]

you are crazy

[IEsorry]

i bet half of you guys flaming this cant even surf a wave like that

[jimkeegan4]

Whoever made this should be embarrased that that was the wave they put on this.

[sergioponomaui]

nice, doesnt matter that it is just a drop. Being out there is what counts.

[sergioponomaui]

you guys put this wave down, but dont understand that what matters is not the take off, but being out there at the mercy of freak sets coming in.

[deepblueultramarine]

Kinda like Peahi's little sister, LOL !!!

[matycee]

why can't i find anything on Paige Torres online? is the track on a recording somewhere? cheers,

matt

[Nyhof]

mate that wave was so shit it just died straight after the take off so if you stacked it youd be fine

[kekailoaking]

that's the baby wave

[liambro7]

thats was shithouse

[meggido666]

Yeah! Brazilian spirit, a perfect drop!
