  • Is this in slow motion?

  • LOOKS LIKE LAIRD WILL HAVE A NEW CHALLENGE/I AGREE 20 HAW

  • @XSurfmonsterX I'm so siked I'll paddle out in it !!!!!

  • Guys it's never to big to tow! you just gotta be fucking syced.

  • i love waves that are that big they look like they are breaking in slow-mo . . . they must be HUGE !!

  • 20 foot face my arse ! i'm an aussie surfer, surfed for 18 years ... If you think those waves are only 20 ft to 22 ft on the face or whatever!?? you must be off your head ...

    They look to be 20 foot + Hawaiian . Just look at how long the lip takes to fall and how big the first pressure is It looks lie a depth charge going off. Not to mention the spit from the tube looking similar in proportion to a spout from a blow hole. Yup them some large waves, fucking world class huge and also long rides.

  • neils got it. when the swell gets that big theres nowhere to launch from. if they could have gotten out to it they'd definatly have given it a shot

  • I guess you've never been to the Cliffs of Moher. Otherwise, you wouldn't guess 100 ft. It's morons like you that provide hours of entertainment for regular people.

  • yeah but you can compare the way the wave is breaking to other days when guys were surfing it. I'd say I've seen 30ft face waves ridden there. In this video it looks bigger cause the waves are hitting the reef differently. Also I think it was too big to tow because the guys couldn't make it out of the harbor, not because of surf at Aileens. In any event, this wave is soooooo sick.

  • Rudeboogi, I think it may well be a case of "Couldn't launch the ski". You have to know the area a little. If waves are breaking over Crab Island, then Doolin harbour isn't a harbour anymore, because Crab Island is a major part of the shelter for anything launching from the slip there. The rest of the coast is pretty much cliff, crag and slab for miles around
