    Hey Jamie! Can you make a series of how to surf please? I also was thinking of how cool it’s be if you make a series called “Will It Surf?” Where you get a bunch of gnarly boards or random objects to see if they’ll be surfable 😅 JUST AN IDEA

    This is *INSANE* 🤯🤪 🌊🤙🌊 The biggest shore break I ever played in was 5-6 ft max and it felt pretty intense. I mean I am nowhere near a big wave surfer lol, I love to hang out right in the knee to head high waves, novelty is super enjoyable for me, I just can't even imagine the pounding as I watch this. Absolutely incredible. I can understand the draw though. The power and suction and pounding and roar of the shorebreak does something to your soul. It is so therapeutic. It makes all the difficulties and challenges in life feel so much smaller, the rumbling and roaring when you are under and being pummeled and tossed around just imbibes this power into your being...... at least for me. It is cleansing and you come out excited yet deeply calm. I can't even grasp how much bigger these waves are than what I experienced it is awesome. Awe inspiring. I love this video so much. 🥰

      And Log Cabins when it's huge is so scary but definitely waimea shore break has fucked me bad even at just 5 and 6 feet faces at waimea when the life gaurds everybody how dangerous the break is and telling all the kooks to get out of the water every 5 minutes on the microphone 🤣🤣🤣. For real when waimea shore break has just a little power those lifeguards are on it with their speaker phones LOL but log cabins just scares the hell out of me especially since I went snorkeling over there in the summer and I had already served log cabins like a hundred times before I went snorkeling and saw the bottom and it scared the shit out of me

    Brah?!?! I almost drowned when I was 14 at Waimea shore break on 10ft on da head. Caught the perfect close out,could fit a truck inside and survived. But got caught inside no leash so was just me and waves dat was doubling up. Went under and couldn’t figure out which way was up and had to kick off the bottom. Best and scariest day all at the same time.

One in particular is Ronnie Burns, one of THE best and most influential surfers back in the day, and is no longer with us. I'm wondering if you could do a segment of these guys, maybe show some clips, just to help keep those memories alive. Aloha.

    Waimea is my favorite spot for a bit of smaller wave body surfing. The shore break can sometimes suck ALL the water off the sand and the wave crashes right into the sand. Gotta watch out for the rip current in the middle. Waves come in the sides but go out the middle.

    JOB - I dig how you gave an overview of these spots in this vid. Nice way to change things up.
    Here’s something that I think a lot of us would appreciate…Can you do a video where you explain what you’re doing with your body inside a close-out barrel to minimize impact/damage? Since we can’t see you in there, how are you contorting your body inside the closing tube? Are you trying to shoot yourself straight out the back to avoid being slammed down further by the heavy lip? What are you doing with your arms/hands? Any insight to share on that would be awesome. 🤙🏼

    Me and my mate Bernie used to surf a close out, wedge style peak every summer when the on-shores would whip up these nasty peaks, this was in northern NSW in the 80's, and it was same thing, late drop insane barrel, then smashed on the sand. What it did was make us better surfers when the surf was actually good and heavy, it gave us courage and skills to go after big heavy nice waves on big swell days. We would maybe make one wave in a 100 on those closeouts but we went for everything and constantly egged each other on to take a more gnarly wave than the last.
