i went to try a surf a smaller swell day last winter, and the waves were too big so i went back the next the day and they were tiny. its a great spot on a good day, but the days are few and far between

This Video is incredible! I want to go to mav!!! not to surf, just to film some awesome mav action!!

[freeocean3]

son los peores surfistas que he visto nunca

[TheBlueRose7]

Peahi, Maui. Same giants of the sea but the water is warm, clear, and deep blue. See it to believe it.

[chickenbreeder4]

dont look to blue looks sturred up

[kinkytwista]

awesome and informative video dudes

[nowhere8]

wow...yeah i felt sorry for the person at 6:40...that had to suck!!!!!

[1jks]

Hope that Kook didn't have a lesh on.. haha Over the falls at Mavericks? That's Got to suck.

[hajqbvii]

...there's big waves out at sea 60 miles off of Baja California, but these mavericks are awesome....thx for vid 5 stars.

[LargeSyringe]

according to another youtube video i watched, the world's biggest waves are some place in Oregon, where they break at a hight of 120 feet, and are thus taller than the lighthouse nearby

[wssurfer77]

yes but they are not surf abul

[me3be3]

r u retarded? kook

[sexysurfer10]

thats right i grew up in clarks hometown

[1SammyB1]

fuckin awesome

[pimpdoctor2008]

thats hella sick

[staphinfection]

I was wondering when they were going to mention Clark. He's the legend that surfed that mother fucker for years alone.

And to think such a powerful beast is right in my own backyard... Well, 20 minutes away.

[zappasaurus]

It is scary. I drive up there from Monterey a few times a month. I must admit, this place is way out of my league. But, even so, its awesome.

[Dinamic99]

half moon bay is so beautiful - look at those waves - amazing

[jmanjs18]

search "weird helium girl" and please leave a comment (dont say anything mean)

[merlinsvue]

Jeff Clark is a prophet!

Too big for me but I love watching those guys.

Mark Foo RIP.

[saffrongirl]

Hi, Thanks for that info. I was just wondering the other day,how a wave was made.

You must of read my mind. Now when I sit at the ocean that picture will be in my thoughts.

[kadavid9]

no me parece la gran cosa la verdad

[z1d]

California no t parec la gran cosa? pues entoncs no sabes na de na chiquillo...

[kadavid9]

lo que pasa es que me refiero que en mi pais tambien se prectican deportes estremos si me entiendes y en mi opinion hay mejores paisajes you knew

[z1d]

Pero si solo te refieres a mavericks la ola es algo plana, aunque avcs maveriks se a mostrado de una manera insurfeable

[bboyizone2]

u wanna see bboy physics,come to my channel :) haha

[shiwei21cn]

enjoy surfing,but be careful!

[ArcticJunkie17]

probably the most sensible comment ive ever seen on youtube!

[shiwei21cn]

thank you.

[saturday7142007]

cool, i was in half moon bay yesterday. awesome place to visit if you live in the bay area.

[skywalka818514]

excellent video. especially the music. nice nice nice. half moon bay is awesome.

[Vatsek]

Very good.

[jvoss101]

i make big waves with the breath from my nostrils.

[Xaeron73]

lol, what?

[JesseGuitar07]

awesome video..

[hotandcoldplay2]

/watch?v=TX0zP80lEMk

[anajouse]

cool

[chivasthecure21]

dsad

[peterene]

And what about waves on Titan?

[TheBlueRose7]

3-6 ft. with a slight off-shore wind. However the ammonia atmosphere makes it hard to enjoy.

[razorwirelazerbeams]

Let's mention that Mavs is in the red triangle. Got the Great White thing in case getting sucked over the falls wasn't scary enough. The single most intense place on the planet.

[MichaelLeppan]

it looks really scary

[budthestudajw]
