Here is another video, the best one I've seen so far. So hectic.
How's the dude at 1:24, a hero.

I wasn't sure if YouTube started counting Milli-seconds. Was more to make sure of the numbers. Haha.
Unlimited download would be good right now.

Won't be surprised if a shot of Simon Thornton surfaces somewhere in the near future. Heres to hoping.

Brilliant video Adam, although I'm not sure what they were thinking with the soundtrack? You have some ugly, super intense waves (imo it looked less hectic on the video.. relatively speaking, of course, I think big The Right still has a bit more water moving) and... some chilled classic rock. Give us something intense dudes, jeez. Seems obvious.

But yeah, seriously epic session and mad props to the dudes out there. I keep on hoping Newton's going to appear on one of these swells, trying to paddle in etc.

Absolute craziness. Would of loved to see ol' Mike get whipped into a few. If only he was 10 years younger and happened to be in Tahiti.

We got out there and the very first thing we saw was this maniac lid just getting annihilated. The full warrior trying to paddle into them. He got pitched and just froglegged it into the abyss. And it was fricken massive!



YESSS!!!!!!
It happened!
