  • Well this is a surfers perspective.

    A. You don't need to be near the explosion to ride the wave.

    B. A wave breaks on the shore, not out in deep water.

    C. Need a lot more dynamite than that.

    D. Dynamite surfing is defiantly possible!

    C.How much would it suck to be the asian guy, he is never getting in that chick's pants LOL

  • Nothing was busted. Waves turn into breakers because of the incline of the surface below the water. This test was done in a creek, and the surfer robot was paddling down the creek. There is no incline, so the waves don't break. Do the same test in a body of water that has the right incline, and see if it still debunks any myth. This shoudl be filed under "mythbuster fail".

  • what a bullshit...

  • Their entire methodology is flawed in every possible way.

    Busted my ass

  • @joshyhmarks not necessarily they tried to simulate similar conditions but i wouldn't say its the same as the quiksilver video... unless there is proof that the quiksilver video isn't real, I don't think this is busted at all

  • Russians are busted this!watch "ruski surfing" and you will see what is surfing on Russian way ;)

  • myth busting kooks~!!

  • @SecretSquirrel2010 They were trying to prove/disprove the Quicksilver video, which, if you look, probably had very similar conditions as the creek. In the correct conditions, yes, this could happen. But when doing scientific experiments, which apparently all these rednecks commenting on this video don't understand, the goal is to mimic the conditions. This is possible, but the [Quicksilver] video is not, therefore, it's busted.

  • fake and gay

  • thats bullshit coulda caught that easy

  • And did not they think about the ecological disaster that they provoked in the whole aquatic life of the lake?

  • I think what they're tryin to say is "don't have fun kids! your nuts will fall off!! Seriously don't do it! It doesn't work. Fun is actually a fake word that was invented by communists..."
