This is taken from the video "Absolute Mexico". The wave is Puerto Escondido, Mexico, on a huge swell. The surfer is Danielo Couto.
Has to be one of the worst wipeout recorded. It's quite shallow out there, and judging from the shape of the wave when it closes out, I think it's safe to say that it isn't more than 3 feet deep.

  • At least he had an amazing ride before the wipeout.

    You don't understand how much that wave weighs. And do you know how fucking big that is? You'd cry on a 2 foot wave, I assure you.

  • what a champ!

  • The problem isn't so much the wave crashing down on you so much as it is the struggle to get back up for air. Once you get caught in that white water from waves that size you are being thrashed around constantly, often enough you smack against the reef. 

  • yes he had enough speed to goo far down the line but didn realize he was in the shore break and got closed out.. mexico surf can be really clean and perfect but sooner or later beachbreak type waves will close on you. at that size you kick out and live to ride again. even if it was 6 feet deep there I am sure he was bounced several times and probably had sea water leak from his sinuses for a month.

  • Bad day at the office.

  • Wow, that guy is a great surfer... even if he wipeouted out at the end.

    I'm suprised that thing at the end didn't take off your shorts! Lol.

  • Louco D+++++++++++

  • i cant beleive he didnt die.

  • the song makes it so funny so epic

  • "Please God, let me live" EPIC.

  • @MrAwhitee dude i dont even know how to surf! will you teach me?
