... thank you so much for sharing every detail of both hard-to-comprehend massive experiences ... I can only just barely relate in mid-60’s getting held under two 7-8 foot Laniakea waves in a row of a set as a teen where I thought I was going to die ... and yet nothing like this ... so insanely hard to comprehend ... however, I will never forget (now at 70) the fear that the sea can offer one, yet the complete thrill that keeps one going back for more!
one of the most insane waves ever ridden without a doubt
I think he had doubt with him.. just sayin
Oh fuck yeah , totally insane , way better than watching hundred feet Nazare the giant avalanche !
Totally nuts ...... 🤪
@@michaelharris4651 Nazaré 100fts and 60mph!
@@antonioromao5681 watch one big day out there at Nazare and you’ve seen em all !
Judging by the way he talks I’d say Barry is a BOSS at playing it cool. Great read
And have to read ALL that craziness in probably 1 minute time life or death.
Conor is the one that scored that epic ride. Barry was just driving the jet ski witch still takes huge balls!
most amazing thing is how smooth and glassy the face is. From my experience waves of that size usually are displacing so much air that the face can get rough, but this emerald gem was perfect! #irishsurf, #mullaghmore
the way that wave bowled up is just totally unreal...he surfed it 100% as best as it could be surfed and coming out of the foam wash was unbelievable as well... 🤙🏼💯✨
6:20 LOL "Let the little 30-footer go"-- Barry Mottershead
Barry Afleck’s commentary is awesome!
That was a beautiful wave so smooth. Big and beautiful unreal viewing that. Connor and Barry are gems. Finn also, can see it all in his face as the others talk.
That wave has a really sinister vibe to it..
Wave technicians. So cool to hear this side of these bombs. 🙏🏾
Connor McGregor is not the stud of Ireland, this dude is. No doubt
I can also confirm that Conor Maguire doesn’t go around punching old men when they refuse a drink. A positive I’d imagine. 😜
Bigger balls and not as mouthy.
MacGregor doesn't have the spine for this lifestyle, this us a lifestyle not a sport! #onlysurfersknow
I’ve watched 3 waves over and over again in the last 20 years. The first was Liards millennium wave at chopes, next was Bruces code red wave at chopes.... now this wave. It’s just terrifying and absolutely beautiful. It looks a bit like XXXL Mavericks but even bigger and just so perfect.
Imagine if he was 20 feet deeper, it would’ve been the most amazing barrel ever ridden but it probably wasn’t possible and he might of died.
Don’t blame him for not finding the words to describe that wave.
Cold ,deep, and dense energy. Insane the first time and the hundreth time I've seen that wave. Barry's story telling had me gripped. Mild mannered Conor with Balls of Titanium. Never seen anything like it. Prepare your speech of the XXXXXXL awards.
Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant. What a beast! And Finn, he's a Chatter ;)
That shot at 17:38, frame it and hang for all to see! Truly right place, right time, right guy.
Barry's story telling was on point
Beyond greatness !! Love the who perspective.So well done thank you . We'll see Conor at the Big Wave Awards.
Easy winner!
This is hardcore. No other sport apart from extreme Vert and Downhill skateboarding comes even close to how extreme big wave riding is.
I have so much admiration for the people who have this much skill and balls.
Even 6-8 foot sets seem big when your getting battered but this is heavy.
The most beautiful wave I’ve ever seen ...so glad Connor got that one.
Laird Hamilton must be proud of what he started.
Without Laird, this wouldn't be possible. He pioneered big wave towing and set the benchmark for big wave riding.
The following generation has taken the challenge and they are so impressive.
Conor Maguire also seems very humble which is great to see someone this extreme and talented being this grounded.
I think Footballers have nothing on this and alot are arogent jerks.
Connor was like 15 sec behind everyone, it was funny watching him have a straight face when they were laughing, and then randomly smile and laugh later haha
That guy´s name is Mottershead, in case you had any doubt big wave surfing was metal
Jamie Mitchell said the end section looked small 😂😂😂😂 wot ever mate........
Compared to the rest of it, yeah. It didn't really break top to bottom like the earlier sections did.
That's scary to even watch, glad he survived that!
what an enlightening moment
Absolutely!
Insane , respect .
Taller than Teahupoo waves but the same power! Would Have to be one of the biggest meanest waves ever ridden and the story matches the greatness of this ride :D
Can't believe that was in Ireland. That was insane. Just incomprehensible.
Absolutely mental!
Thank you for sharing the madness!
Aloha from the Great Lakes USA
The moment you’re looking for is at 9:42
Talking heads, talking it up.
Legend
Legit one of the heaviest waves I’ve ever seen ridden. It’s a monster.
the way that wave bowled up is just totally unreal...he surfed it 100% as best as it could be surfed and coming out of the foam wash was unbelievable as well... 🤙🏼💯✨
Love the analysis, the reflection. The most scary and magnificent hell dream that I can experience through you!!
Such a good commentary - Jaime's facilitating, Barry's narrative, the camera coverage - a great piece - nice work! (although maybe Jaime needs a 3 burbee penalty for every time he says 'like' :) )
Oh and the wave that Mark Healy got caught inside on at the biggest Cloud Break ever witnessed....that wave wasn’t ridden but it will be in my memory forever. Sent from the Gods that one👌
this one looks like Cloudbreak
It's so cool how they appreciate the wave and talk about it and pay homage to it . So cool . Mc, pecker ain't got squat on this surfer
you can see an even bigger set to the left during video Bravo guys for having the guts to make this video
Craazyy !! Big up !! and also big up Irish surf!
Insane ride, and yet people go crazy about Nazare’s 60ft mush burgers....
Agreed. And still BIG WAVE BIG WATER is all serious-I’m sure u understand so no disrespect to u!!
And I’m still quaking from December 21, 2005 Swami’s Encinitas CA!!!!!! “Big WEDNESDAY’. Still QUAKE INGGGGG!!
You obviously have no idea what you are comparing, this is clearly a big powerful wave, but compared to the big swells of Nazare, it's a ripple in a pond.
Most beautiful big wave I've ever seen
That was interesting hearing it in detail from their side.
Epic wave. Epic ride.
legendary mate just great stuff
Taking nothing from this wave. But in reality he was never shaded by the lip until he got pinched. Def a wave of a century. Biggest baddest wave I ever seen
Just amazing, can’t quite get my head around that wave...
is it still technically a full make if you don’t quite make it to the channel?
Not really but the fact he managed the death pit before the beat down means we will give it to him.😉
will be remembered for life mate
How did I get to 41 and never hear about this wave? I thought Ireland was cold green mush burgers.
youre tripping theres countless sick waves in ireland, heaving slabs, sick barreling reefs, mushburgers def aint the description of ireland
Jamie you're banging on about the barrel . There was no barrel , it was a Cathedral . Nuff said )))
Epic video
AMAZING WAVE!!! BETTER YET AN AMAZING RIDE!! CONGRATS!!

I can only imagine what these Super Heroes feel like coming down them waves, wow! Massive respect to all who ride Big Waves like these. Stay Safe and Thanks for the video!
Omg beyond gnarly, whoa now,way to go kid
Good job! Very impressive
Hats off to Irish
I always watch the ocean stuff riding the heavy waves with heavy music like SoaD or Delta Parole or with relaxing music videos in background. If crazy like then always heavy tho
That wave was a magnificent beast.
Wanted to see the wave behind it...
Fantastic! You should try Nazare waves in Portugal.
He has
Wow amazing tales
When there's a 40 footer in front of the twenty footer.
the grey sky, the brackish water, the cold.. .
Surfers: We don't want to hear you talk. We want to see you surf.
Mottershead; Great Job Of Filling In The Details!
The other guy got bumped there never got a word in
that comment about there being mountains of swell is fascinating.
Balls of steel
My god, how you didn’t drown with balls that big is beyond me.😳
Brothers from the Motherland 🙏 Viva Cristo Rey 🙏
what day of what months this ride?
That’s the biggest barrel ever hands-down
Amazing wave and footage. More likes than a nun rescuing a one legged kitten...
Why was Finn in this clip?
Irish power. oui...et ils sont humbles. Vraiment..
Great wave, like, like ,like ,like ,like ,like.....
Wow!!!!
