Laird himself would tell you, just gotta get back up and keep going. Saw him talk about that exact thing in this really inspirational movie called Finding Joe. Laird's awesome in it: bitly .com/syDsZQ
that must be the single scariest thing ever, seeing that thing bearing down on you and knowing that if you don't get out, it will get nasty. max respect for those guys!!!
Just read Susan Casey's book while in Maui (sadly in June = no big waves). Great book! Got my adrenal glands going just reading about it. Keep on surfin' dudes!!!
if you get hit with the lip of waves this big, they can easily snap your femur into tiny bits. keep in mind the femur is the 2nd strongest bone in your body.
I've personally never even seen a wave that was more than a foot above me standing at full height, so no more than about 7 feet. I cant even imagine waves like these.
I know what you mean! On an average day where I live, it's like 4-5. We get occasional good days where its like 7-10. When I see those they are actually big to me. I can't even fathom these kinda waves haha.
i hate this guy....i mean hes an amazing surfer but almost evrdy video of him surfing he has fucking straps on...i think it isnt really surfing if ur strapped to the damn board
Surf wipeouts are gnarlier than skate and snowboard wipeouts when at this scale, a few of those waves, if you were to bail, youd die. Big waves weigh hundreds of tons, not to mention that they hold you under water for a long time and also not to mention that you could get slammed into a reef under the water, which is a common occurrence.
Laird's on first part of video, then we cut in other clips/surfers...you can recognize Laird if you know his style...reg. foot...rides biggest, gnarlyest waves too.
These guys, esp. Laird of course, are my heroes. I'm 58, rehabing a wrecked shoulder; it's been boogey only for me for years.
We used to fantasize giant waves. Remember that 60's surf poster called "incredible Journey"? It was a graphic of this guy, looking v. tiny, carving a right bottom turn at the base of this 120+' pitching tube. A 1985 Honolulu Advertiser edition had a front page photo of Laird dropping in at 3rd Reef Pipeline (he was towed by a Zodiac). That's what it looked like.
i started surfing 3 years ago...never going to stop...even thhough i'll probably never get to this level of surfing it realy pumps me up to try harder
Dont know why your comment got a thumbs down from someone ... you wanna learn then get to the beach man! Whole new world about to open up for you... pure fun!!
It is much easier to accoplish this knowing after a wipeout that there's a team of jetskis ready to pick you up. Reassurence is he key ingredient in this still testicular move.
I don't think the "undertoe" will hold him for hours ,however, XPNOYBOI03X...if you wan to be held down for hours go to prison. There a gang of twenty or so will give you a hold down you've been asking for.
There MIGHT be some guys that have gotten bigger . But nobody has done it more times than Laird. He was doing this shit 10 years before it became the next big thing.
The first song that some like and some hate, but at least its not the usual trash metal noise we usually hear on surf vids...and its cut well to the video...It's an Italian ditty..."Ipnotica magnetica" from the CD Sospesa, Antonella Ruggiero singing.
i live in the midwest so ive never had the chance to surf. Ive been skydiving and always lookin for a new rush, this looks like my calling but prolly wont happen
this is so bad

Surf wipeouts are gnarlier than skate and snowboard wipeouts when at this scale, a few of those waves, if you were to bail, youd die.
