  • This was the second huge swell in the space of a week to hit Bali, and it was even bigger than the first. Probably the biggest waves seen at Uluwatu in recent years and definitely the biggest I've ever witnessed firsthand ...anywhere.
    The guy towing caught some incredibly long rides covering almost the entire length of the reef, and there were a few hardy paddle guys giving it a go, dodging the massive, shifty clean up sets and the river like sweep.

    Love that you don't have any crappy music. Just the sound of the waves, the wind and the background voices.

    It´s so hard to keep in mind that beneath this monster of a wave, lays razer sharp ULU reef. I remember it eating away my fins on low tide, huge respect for surfing it at that size. THANKS FOR SHARING

      when its bigger it will break farther out in deeper water of course so only gets dangerous as they get inside

    Has to be some of the best and biggest surf ridden at Uluwatu. Great to see it documented.

    Maroubra kneelo, the late Albert Whiteman had many EPIC solo sessions at solid Uluwatu, 18ft plus, some very similar sized day's to this on the longest kneeboard I've ever seen, I nicknamed it "Big Blue"... he had photo - sequences and some limited VHS footage of one particular day I know of. He had some great pic's around the walls of the Friar Tuck - Knormal shop/shaping H.Q. at Byron, circa 1986... Dave Parkes and Mark "Mono" Stewart would aptly testify to this. He would paddle out on his own, he was an absolute freak and seeing Uluwatu at this size being tackled really reminds me of gis spirit, may his soul rest in peace. Kudos and TOTAL respect for the guy's out there, especially the minute plus ride @0:45 and the near 90" ride @6:26... just ball's to the wall stuff. Good on yer's! Kindest regards :)

      These waves are more vertical, so they may seem bigger. You don't see barrels on nazare, at least not from what I've seen.

    Everything is all about stalling and getting tubed these days. Going for the picture to make a career. It starts to all look the same after awhile. Racing a wave down the line is so underrated. This has that. At size. So awesome.

  • @parabola8933
    @parabola8933 Před 4 lety +3

    I got caught inside on a set of 25 foot waves when I was 14 years old. The most terrifying thing I've ever experienced. Luckily my leash didn't snap and the first 4 waves washed me back out of the impact zone and I was able to ride massive white water back in. The freaky thing is when you come up there's so much foam it's hard to get your face above it, also the current pulls you back down again and makes your legs feel like pretzels.

    It’s crazy to think that even once you get whipped in towing you are locked into that wave. If you bail out the back you get the next waves straight on the head with no leash. Probably the longest waves I’ve seen that are that size. It’s like a mixture of Cloudbreak with some crazy long left point. I guess just call it Uluwatu lol
