  • wow....50 meters high wave! =)

  • @iLOVENATURE2011 50 feet not meters

  • this is tom carrol= kelly slater sensei

  • watch?v=MMOxUdK6hZA 

  • watch?v=MMOxUdK6hZA 

  • watch?v=MMOxUdK6hZA 

  • That's just typical of Australians, they have to compare everything to back home, purely for the fact that they think there is nothing better that Australia... speaking from experience.. 

  • what else happned around december 7th in hawaii? *pearl harbor*

  • @justonemorename Hell yeah man i agree with you one hundred percent. Global warming is bull shit its just what the world does.

  • Scariest thing were the 2 aussietrash. Wear a rubber mate!

  • Holly shit that really looks scary!!!!! it does a lot

  • @justonemorename i think we should stop consuming too much and start building a stronger society bond. That would stop polluting everything and everyone and make people a lot more happy. Two things we really need. Why do we always have to be a dirty specie? We don't take care of our people, we don't take care of our habitats. It's just work work work and pollute pollute pollute and suffer suffer suffer. Our world should be a better place.

  • @justonemorename tax us for breathing yeah right!

  • Check out the guy at :03 seconds going over the falls! Only one who didn't make it.

  • @justonemorename Everyone listen to this guy, he is %100 correct. Scientist have shown that not only is Earth heating up but so are the rest of the planets in our solar system, Mars in particular. We are not helping with all of our emissions but whether we do anything about it or not the Earth will continue to heat up due to the workings of the Sun.

  • 0:49 is that his foot? that is disgusting..

  • @syntaur - longboards?? do you know anything about surfing, or bout hawaii's waves?

  • i dont even know i said this video was fake dude that message was three years ago and just now your gettting a response this is mars 1 your communicating withs so there is a slight lapse weather a dismal -4 ferinheight n shit homeboy so whats up so lets get this goin thru my window of opertunity next transmission will be in dec of 2012 here is the code priority amber lat32 long64 parabeam 334578x traveling at 257045 kph on moon collision direct data not available object visable in orion

  • small waves! very easy!

  • on a day like this, i head to the south shore

  • Damn straight about Wilbur Kookmeyer...he would go before Eddie! With no fear involved!

  • all surfers are gay

  • @ghostman3331 If gay means happy like it used to.

  • @ghostman3331 your that lil fag who keeps goin to teahupoo vids and saying there fake....s we meet again little faggot

  • @ghostman3331 That is not nice ghostman3331! I think you want to be a surfer but can't get your more than likely fat ass up on the board and the comment was out of envy.

  • I will learn to surf ... but i'm from germany and the waves in Germany ... they aren't very good. :(

  • ima go der ^^

  • BIIIIIIIIIIG YAY

  • I live in Haiku Maui overlooking the Maliko Gulch area...My residence is about 2 miles from the ocean....On this morning and the morning after,I could hear the ocean exploding with every set that came through.....It definately was the biggest swell all season..!!!!

  • Thousands is plural. There was not even one thousand

  • Wilbur Kookmeyer will paddle out in extreme conditions anywhere anytime! That's how he rolls.

  • THAT IS A HUGE WAVE!

  • too bad i can't surf ;)

  • I heard there's supposed to be huge waves on the north shore, but after going to oahu & maui I'm guessing the "north shore" waves are on a different island??

  • @rachellaughs

    North Shore refers to the North Shore on Oahu. Surf gets huge there in the winter, so if you were there another time of year and the waves were relatively flat... that would be why. PeeGee

  • My wife and I spent our first year of married life together (1970) on the north shore (the quiet end, Mokuleia). But I'd body surf Waimea all the time until it got over ten, and then i'd go in, where I belonged. One day that winter, the managable surf in the late morning got bigger and bigger- we split. It got to over 60 feet. The white water alone covered that big rock on the west (left) side of the bay, opposite the church tower. Beyond belief, that power. Amateurs, stay on the beach.

  • GO BIG OR GO HOME!!!

  • Love those South Pacific winter storms and the power they can pack.

  • Ummm "suzy," they are north pacific storms..!!!

  • We saw huge waves on Maui last March (2009) at a popular surfing beach and there were NO surfers in the water. They were standing on the top of the cliffs watching. They said it was not the height of the waves, but the fact that they were breaking so cloe together. If you went down, another onen would crash on top of you. These were experienced surfers.

  • ill pass, yeah i think ill pass...

  • So you swim out through all this crashing white water to get to the 20 foot swell and hopefully ride it back to shore without being thrown to the bottom and dragged along the corral. And 50 foot waves may be coming. This is definitely a vicarious experience for me.

  • its more fun than not if you know what ur doing if you feel sketched out dont go out i didnt go out while i was there i went out 4 days later when it was smaller

  • why may ah - Bay

  • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • 2012

  • hahhahaa.. what a joke.. and plus its 2 years early?

  • @StacksOnDeckTV its 2009 buddy what chu smoking?

  • Shut up kook!

  • LorryLandskipper can I GET IN THE WATER NOW? It's been an hour since I ate.

  • If I was only young again I would give those waves a try.

  • whoa bodie its the hundred year storm! fagssss

  • close the beaches because people did not have enough sense to stand and watch? ok din....

  • and it starts

    dun Dun DUUUUUN

  • wow for some reason that reminded me of when Auron said "so it begins" in FFX. (uhh assuming you're a gamer lol)

  • I'm sure nobody else uses that line.

  • So true.

  • LOLOL, So it begins... lolol

  • whoa. I bought my Uke in Hawaii. See my video.

    DONT GOOGLE ME on my page

  • I read in a magazine there would be big waves on December in Hawaii.

  • lmao i removed old comment i thought i was dec 9 2007 lol its dec 7 2009 nvm

  • Comment removed

  • Why are you people talking so dumb...? when we all should be waxing the long boards and heading for the heavies on the Northshore...

  • @syntaur longboards???dont you mean guns lol

  • and then...

  • You two homos below should get a room and stop your public display of affection here on YouTube.

  • yeah, I'm sorry, my behavior on the internet has been so wro---doooooooooooooooooooooou­che

  • NO TREES= no water/ no clean air/ no solid earth/ no shade= global warming. Is this what happened to the dinosaurs eating all the green things? Also planting only male trees in the malls, doesn't help us get any young trees elsewhere. The old trees are now rotting and dieing of disease.

  • I clicked to watch a surfing video and came across a political debate. ???

  • girl waves and penioners

  • If you look at who is spreading the misinformation, and why, you'll soon realize the argument was never over if man is responsible (because the ones spreading the misinformation know that to be true.) Instead, the argument is over money, power, and political gain, on both sides of the aisles.

    I'm not sure democrats even know the severity of global warming. They may have simply listened to science and raced to this shit solution, and in doing so, CREATED CAUSE for misinformation to be spread.

  • Again put your impetus where your mouth is. Stop breathing. There is Irony in the Liberal program. Liberals are pro abortion. so at some point in the future we will (hopefully) run out of proabortion liberals. Faggots cannot reproduce so someday we will experience the last screeching cry of a faggot. Liberals are for shutting down all progress, someday the last one will freeze to death. If only I get to live so long.

  • Ah, and so it comes out. Your opposition to anthropogenic global warming doesn't stem from facts, reason, logic, or even common sense. It stems from a deep seated hatred for liberals (and why did you capitalize that word btw? Shame on you, boy.)

    "Faggots cannot reproduce" < sounds exactly like the intelligent, well-informed type of person people should listen to on the subject of global warming LOL! Too funny :)

    So I see this discussion has brought out your true bigoted self. Good stuff.

  • I feel sorry for you. I feel sorry for everyone like you. You want so bad for this horrible truth to be wrong that you'll ignore scientifically proven facts.

    People like you call people like me sheep, and yet you accept any dull explanation of things without question. "Volcanoes put out more Co2 than man-kind? Oh, that sounds right, I won't research that and I'll spread it around to debunk GW."

    I'll never understand why humans are capable of being so self destructive and willfully ignorant

  • As a last resort I will offer you the single greatest contribution YOU can make to slow "global warming". Stop breathing...PLEASE

  • I see your rudeness as fear. It's ok to be afraid, but it's also ok to believe that we can do things to reverse our impact on this planet.

    We don't need to add to our manufacturing cost to bring carbon emissions down. It doesn't make sense. How can paying the government money help the planet? Does the government turn around and pay earth, saying here's 100 mil to keep temperatures at normal this year? Fuck no. Carbon tax is bs.

  • Perhaps. If in fact it is fear, it is fear that a group of morons that are afraid to cut their own path in this world expect the rest of us to do it for them. Or, fear that people like you will go on thinking that I believe your chicken little bullshit. Possibly fear rthat your feel good politicians will give away the lives some of us have worked hard for, to some willless country that refuses to catch up with the Industrial world. As for You..stop breathing, eliminate your contribution

  • A group of morons afraid to cut their own path... Hmmm. Should I even tell you my story? Nah. You know me so well. It's not like I'm a software developer who put himself through college and who will vote for Ron Paul for president until he's no longer in office anymore (even then I might continue to write his name in.)

    Eat. My. Shit.

  • Alternate truth. You are a stay at home son that Mom and Pops can't dislodge. You have an untested view of the world and are not willing to move forward. Experience reveals itself in the way a person presents ideas. You have no ideas. Onlhy other peoples experience and stories. You, like so many of this "new age" activists need to try living in the real world. Forget about mom and dads safety net. Reality awaits, I don't. Take another puff and have a cookie

  • hahahahaha! This is classic. You're just throwing every cliche at me aren't you?

    Let me finish this perfect character. Not only do I live at mom and dad's, I'm going on 40, I still call them MOMMY and DADDY, and I haven't seen sunlight in over 10 years on account of me being so large that I can't fit through the door way to leave the basement anymore.

    BWAHAHAHAHA.

    Now you want me to solve global warming right here right now, otherwise I'm a pot smoking homosexual liberal.

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

  • Oh my God, thank you so very much jerdeb4evr. I haven't laughed like this in a while. I've been under a lot of stress lately with managing added responsibility at work, and trying to buy my first home. It's rare that I get moments of sheer joy like this.

    I'm pretty sure you and I would get along fine in real life. You're a funny mother fucker ;)

  • We can reverse our impact by other means, like advancing our technologies. Corporations all over the world are sitting on patents that stand to stifle their bottom line.  Think Exxon doesn't own any patents for alternate energies?

    I remember reading about some old Japanese dude who was Japan's equivalent of our Einstein. They asked him what the simplest way to reverse our impact was, that we could start the soonest. He said to paint every building's roof white. Think about that for a minute.

  • Seriously, how much pot do tou smoke in a day. If you left it on the stalk growing ,out gassing Oxygen, intaking CO2, just think of the contribution. Think about that while you go get yourself a chips ahoy. Then think about how much energy it takes to make that pkg. of chips ahoy. Stop eating tham for a week...Think about that...keep thinking........keep thinking....when I snap my fingers you will wake up refreshed...keep thinking..almost ready, Did you hear me snap my fingers? Oh crap.......

  • It's blatantly obvious this discussion is over, with you adding nothing to entice my intellect anymore. I enjoy listening to gw deniers because every once in a while, they expose me to something REALLY convincing and I go out and learn about it, and even cross my fingers that THIS, THIS WILL BE THE ONE THING, THIS WILL BE THAT ONE FACT THAT CAN EASE MY NERVES. Sadly, that's never the case. Invariably discussions with people like you end like this

    You've got nothing. You lose. Good day, sir.

  • Giganguous Oval Office bra, not for Quimbies

  • Whoa !! Havent seen Tom Carrol in a long time.

  • rich brats doing dumb things

  • jealousy sucks

  • Fuckin Point Break, Bro. Yeahhh!

  • lol i got a commercial and its all "Come get a job at Siemen's Factory Today!"

  • What a f***, these are the huge waves i've ever seen!!

    I'm no surfer but can tell you one thing, i definitely will never put myself into those waters. I probably could be eaten by a white shark or something..xD

    But i dream to go visit hawaii one day, not only for the paradisiac views or the girls, but to see too the statue of king kamehameha cos i'm a huge fan of dbz and i wanted to see where akira took is inspiration from for goku's atk, probably from a vulcano in eruption! xD

    Anwy good vid!

  • Whether we acknowledge what is taken place in the environment or not, the end results are happening everyday. These little waves in Hawaii are absolutely nothing in comparison to what is to come. Wait until all the islands began to dissappear; at that point it will be too late. These are only the beginning signs, and we are still debating, not altering our ways. Think about the iceberg that floated to Australia; another warning, no?

  • man deliverredin, that iceberg happens every so pften, its nothing new, so is the waves, nothin new

  • That is precisely my point, which is denial today consequences tomorrow!

  • man, nothing we can do about weather chang, do u think the dinasours caused it to freeze them out of existence,

  • Ignorance is known of her children! Perhaps, it just a myth that industrial gases and pollution affect the ecosystems. Just a crazy thought, I know!

  • FACT: global warming leads to global cooling. FACT: the earth's temperature is cyclical.

    gee, i think that's called a trend.

  • how come waves in california dont get that high?

  • Because the people are higher...j/k;)

  • @MacPr0xnxx0 the swell hits Hawaii without losing any power, whereas when the same swell hits the coast of California it is the continental shelf muffles it slightly. Check out Mavericks or Todos Santos

  • @Infloresence i see thanks for enlightening me

  • Carbon dioxide? im just trying to breath whuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttt........

  • Average schmoe. You really are an idiot.

  • Nah.....Tiger is sleeping with the good Pastor right now.

  • Mahalo!

    Thanks for sharing!

    Wish I was there in Aloha land ... the land of love.

    When the Hawaiian people say Aloha, they are really saying "Hello, I love you. And goodbye, I love you". Aloha means not only hello and goodbye, it also means love.

    Unfortunately, these people do not understand the meaning of walking in love (below).

  • Please, see my comments section.

    What would IZ say?

    Aloha ! Mahalo!

    May God Bless All Freedom Loving People of Our World!

  • A team of Hawaii-based scientists calculates that two-thirds of some islands in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI) could be submerged by 2100.

  • ba ba ba ba ba baram

  • SURFS UP DUDES!@~

  • accident...clumsy 50 ft wave huh?

  • WILLLUVSTHE411 HERE ON YOUTUBE!!!

  • This was the warmest year on record. And the warmest decade as well. If you're wrong - we're fucked.

  • man i surfed those waves a bunch a times!...

  • I live on Maui. Why the hell are you all saying "2012" "Global Warming" and "the end of the world"?  Seriously, guys. It's just a winter swell. Winter in Hawaii means rain and surf.

  • What do they thin there is only water out there? those waves can slam a tree down on you like a fly swatter. check out my vids.

  • hahahaha global warming is a hoax....just look at al gore.

  • global warming may be a hoax but the polar ice caps are no lie.

  • its happening, but its completely natural.

  • indeed...something is going on...who really knows what. best stay alert.

  • Be prepared.. and fuck the goverment.

  • The earth warms and cools all the time. 35 years ago, these scientists told us that the great plains were in danger of freezing over by the year 2000.

  • did you know we have a ice age every 100,000 years? We are due for one soon...

  • Well, it is not that exact, but yeah....there have been other ice ages from what I understand from the things I was taught as a little kid. Of course, we trust these people, and usually without questioning them at all.

  • what if those calculations where wrong lol.

  • Sure, I am sure they are wrong with lots things. Also, as if the earth runs on some exact clock ? No. One fact that is continually overlooked by the mass media especially is that they earth has been much warmer, as well as much colder than it is at the current moment as far as the climate is concerned.

  • it is just a problem for us.. the climate is doing just fine.

    Nature will also be fine. it has been for 4 billion years. But it's the people that are screwed.

  • You're 100% accurate on global warming. My research indicates the earth is 5 billion years old. Either way....the earth has cooled & warmed all on its own thousands, if not millions of times. To think mankind, in 80-90 years of industrialization, has ruined the earth/climate is utterly absurd

  • It in inevitable that we will eventually go the way of the dinosaurs and a new species will come along and be having chats on their version of Youtube in a billion years or so.

  • You're almost right, its every 10,000 to 15,000 years for the ice age cycles. That 's why this global warming movement is a total f'n joke. THe earth is 5,000,000,000 years old. Its so totally obvious its a New World Order Movement underway hiding under "THe CLimate Change" group.

    Doesn't Tommy Carroll look like Corbin Bersen?

  • By jove I think he's got it!

  • Even more scientist say its total crap!!!

  • Excuse me?

    Carbon dioxide is good for the planet... plants breathe it

    A volcano eruption puts out more CO2 than man has put in his entire existence

    You're just a globalism fuck you don't care about freedom our sovereignty... the global government is NOT about peace why don't you understand that?

    Think for yourself don't be a slave

  • Carbon dioxide is good for the planet in smaller amounts than we are contributing to now and all the volcanoes combined do NOT put out more CO2. This is misinformation being spread to combat global warming policy.

    I care deeply about our freedom and our sovereignty, but I won't deny our impact on our climate. I think we can use common sense ways to reverse our impact without taxing the shit out of people. I hate that GW has been made so political.

    It's real, it's happening, we caused it.

  • No one wants to focus on the real issues like genetic engineering, oil spills, over fishing, etc

    It's always more talk just to support global government

    I have no idea why so many people are so eager to give all this power to the IMF/World Bank because peace is the last thing they care about

    Peace is War... I think I heard that in the book 1984

    How can you even call CO2 a deadly chemical? Once you mark something essential to life on this planet as deadly then you control everyone

  • How can you even say too much CO2 is ok since its "essential to life"? Oxygen is essential, and if there's too much of that, the planet goes through a global cooling. In fact, the first organisms on the planet billions of years ago pumped out so much oxygen into the atmosphere that the planet actually became one giant frozen snowball. As life evolved under the ice, and continents shifted, underwater currents started carrying warm water to vital areas, and the ice melted.

  • You will learn that good sound scientific facts and Logic are never going to be absorbed by Liberals. Good try though.

  • By liberals? Seems like it's mainly conservatives that want to ignore harsh reality for immediate convenience...

  • You mean like the power grid and indoor plumbing, air conditioning, Those things alone have saved more lives than your bullshit "Global Warming" will ever kill

  • What the fuck are you talking about?

    Global Warming can be blamed for the ever increasing ferocity of precipitous events. To say Global Warming HASN'T ALREADY killed thousands is to ignore the fact that as time goes on, these events get more chaotic and damaging.

    I don't need fancy science to tell me flowers bloom sooner each year.

    It's real, it's happening, and we're the cause.

  • You need a reality check. Pull your head out of Al Gores..."Library" and actually seek truth, facts and comments from professionals. Notice I failed to mention Philosophy of scientists. World of difference between factual comments and brain fart philosophy. particularly when so much is at stake. Do you have the vaguest notion as to the quantity of CO2 relesaed by Mt. Pinatabu? If you have the guts check out CO2science website.

  • Why are you trying so hard to make this about Al Gore? I haven't listened to a single word that dude has said about this and either should you. I haven't seen his movies, or his books, but I already know he's a fraud. The guy's "carbon footprint" is far greater than anyone I know, or will probably ever meet, and yet he's telling US we need to do something.

    I've read SO many papers on either side. The truth is we are warming our climate with too much Co2, and politics has stifled progress.

  • Are you aware that Limestone absorbs CO2. Do you have any idea how many square miles of exposed limestone there is in Nevada alone? Of course you don't, because you do not care. Facts have no place in your argument. It is not being rude to call an idiot an idiot if in fact they are an idiot. Being fact shy it never occurred to you.

  • Suddenly I'm an idiot who doesn't care about facts simply because we just now progressed to this subject.

    You want to talk about lime stone lol. Well this is something I've been talking about for a while. Look up the Nullarbor Plain and read about it, k shithead?

    The process of making lime actually emits Co2, but adding it to seawater can absorb twice as much, and the ocean already absorbs over 2billion tons of Co2 a year! These are the solutions I speak of! NOT CARBON TAX.

  • But still, I don't see a point to your bringing up a possible solution as a way to debunk anthropogenic global warming. If anything, by revealing that you understand the concept, you also reveal that you are fully aware of the increased Co2 levels that need man will need to contend with. Hmmm.... Doesn't that fly right in the face of your boneheaded argument?

  • You can sit here and attack me all you want. I'll never get how rudeness can be passed off as a serious tool for debate. You think ad hominem is how you win an argument? It does NOTHING for you.

    As to your volcano blunder, the fact of the matter is, the sum total of all CO2 emitted by active volcanoes amounts to about 1/150th of anthropogenic emissions (anthropogenic means we humans.)

    Who's exhibiting "brain fart philosophy" here? You are being mislead!

  • the "world iceball" that occured was a result more so of the position of the supercontinent that existed in the southern hemisphere at the time whick blocked warm waters from reaching the poles and lead to a run away cool down. The end of that same iceage came as both the supercontinent pulled apart and massive volcanic activity released huge amounts of greenhouse gasses. Both together allowed the poles to warm and global temperatures in general to rise.

  • Am I confused? Did the first organisms not add to the global cooling?

  • Thank You Al Gore. How can you confirm or deny? Arrogant tree huggers think because they are scared of the world every one should be to. Grow up and pay attention. Don't be afraid

  • jerdeb4evr, you say grow up and pay attention, and yet you've done neither. Your idea of bringing doubt to someone's argument is simply attacking them.

    You called me Al Gore. Oh. My. God. I can't believe you crossed that line.

    BTW, arrogant? Which one of us has acted arrogant? Which one of us tried to partake in a rational discussion on these views.

    You know why I actually HATE people like you? Like hate meaning, wish you were dead? You make conservatives look like a bunch of idiots.

  • Ironically, the people who propose these carbon taxes are the people who will block real measures to fight global warming in this country. This is because it encourages misinformation to be spread by the opposing party.

    The only reason why there are so many people trying to stand in the way of science and truth is because of politics. The only reason why our government is acting like they are taking REAL measures to fight global warming is politics.

    Someday reversal will be too late.

  • I'm sure if you tried to get people to sign a petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide they would go along, no problem

    Too bad we can't live without water

    They went with global cooling a few years back.. that didn't work. Global warming didn't work either so now they just go with "climate change"

    Sorry to burst your bubble but the climate has been changing on this planet for 4 billion years

    This is just global government and population control that's all it is

  • I don't need science to show me that flowers bloom sooner every year.

    The lies that are being spread to fight solid discussion on the subject simply shows me that it's human nature to stand in the way.

    I hate to burst your bubble, but it's not billions of years we're needing to worry about. Look at a global temp chart all the way up to today, not one that stops short in 1975. We really are dumping far more CO2 into the air than you think, and it's having a real effect on the climate.

  • @elitebanktyranny Maybe they should just ban Sodium Chloric dihydrogen monoxide instead to save the world.

  • WOOHOOO THE EDDIE IS BACK BITCH

  • ****ing aussies

  • 2012 is happening

  • I know right I think I saw John Cusack

  • @JazGr3wal ahhhh so did y2k and 1984 and the day after tomorrow! let's scream and run around in circles!!

  • sweet, imma go there :3

    imma surf me a tsunami

  • can't surf

    if you're flopping

  • Its too much money out here come too my channel and let me show you how too get started 100%free and REAL

  • global warming is bullshit

  • That's amazing! I would love to go swimming in something like that !!! Come to my channel and watch me scare the hell out of my girlfriend!!!

  • @AmberSexiii No. You're not "sexiii". Get a life.

  • Wow! Thats cool. I gotta get to Hawaii. No surfing though.

  • where's that surfer dude when we need him.

    you know, the dude that says 'whoopah' and stuff

  • ah brah, its just like, you get the best barrels ever dude

  • no waay bro like totally radically awesome gnarley waves brraaaa !! Bitch shit the fuck up

  • hahaha

  • haha, bitches don't know about "funny surfer dude".

  • global warming.
