Had no idea there were so many crazy people in the world, if i saw just one guy out there i would've been impressed enough, but that was ridiculous... Fckn crazy bastards
Mark Foo was a legendary waterman..he passed all the tests..he was a living surf God that stood with the best of um.....I realize that he was unfamiliar with the break and thus didnt know much about the underwater topography, but if a guy with his Wave I.Q and experience can buy the farm at Mavs...mere mortals should beware. Paddle out at your risk
Mavericks is gnarlier for three reasons: paddling out in a 5 mil wetsuit and eating shit in 45 degree water is a thousand times worse than eating shit in board shorts and a tee shirt in 75 degree water.Next, its a great white breeding ground, and last and certainly worst, mavs has a sucking bowel that is absolutely sick!!!!!!!!. Hey ,Waimea at 30 plus feet can only be ridden by guys with balls of stone..like mark Foo...he died at Mavs. Its a treacherous plus for the most experienced riders only.
your talking about the environment around mavericks not the wave, if you were to put them side by side in the same environment i reckon they'd be equal. yes mavericks may go for longer. But waimea has rips and a killer shorebreak so it evens out.
That second big wave in this clip is basically a close out.
You usually don't want to take the first wave of a big set (if you miss it, you are screwed by the next several waves).
If you charge the wrong one, you can break your board and game over for the day, good luck swimming in. If you get in the corner by the rocks you are in huge trouble, best to let the whitewater push you in, just take the beating.
I bodyboard the point each winter, 12/4/07 was pretty big.
Me too. My idiot husband decided to go swimming there in the winter of 1995; there is a huge drop off as soon as you set foot in the water, and it was like 1 second he's on sand, the next all I see is his head and he is disappearing. Nothing I could do about it either. A surfer helped him back. Too many people do not respect the power of the Hawaiian ocean. They just are not aware of how it really can be; where I come from, waves don't do that!
naaaah i rekon jaws gets the biggest waves but most of the time no-one rides them, ship sterns bluff has nearly the same sized waves but more people ride them
Get lost..Jaws kicks waimeas arse..But i still find that huge lol..But Jaws has biggest waves in world..Teahupoo would be most dangerous too surf..Ontop of a reef!! lol u fall off ur like dead
I hope you're not comparing "Montauk" to Waimea.....by the way this day sure looks to be in the 20 to 25 ft. range,maybe a few bigger sets rolled thru that day,i can tell cause few of those sets looked like it was borderline trying to close out the bay......
paixx lmao 30 ft hawaiian is liek 60 ft faces what a retard and i would never go waimea during winter no fun i jes get smashed goign otu and when i get out i get smashed tryign to ride the wave
I am from the mainland and live close to Mavericks. All I have to say is Waimea will ALWAYS BE KING OF BIG WAVES, AND WAIMEA IS LIKE THE YANKEE STADIUM OF BIG WAVE SURFING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
the only way id surf there is if i had a jet ski to tow mee haha

Waimea is a paddle in spot - those waves are definitely rideable - might have been the first few of a new set and no one was in position.
