The Big Ugly - Dramatic Rescue of a Fallen Big Wave Surfer -

- čas přidán 1. 12. 2017
- Brazilian professional surfer Pedro “Scooby” Vianna takes an epic spill from his board during a storm in Nazaré, Portugal. By February 28, Scooby was tearing down the tide at 45 miles an hour on his rattling surfboard. There was a 70-foot mountain of water avalanching behind him.
The seething spume nipped him from behind and sent him bombing into the fray in a violent back flop.
Scooby’s friend and fellow Brazilian, Lucas "Chumbo" Chianca, rode in on a jet ski to pick him up before the next monster set rolled in. Scooby grabbed ahold of a rear tow board latched to the jet ski, and they sped away in an attempt to outrun the next wave. Chumbo soon lost control in the choppy whitewater, and the jet ski capsized near some dangerous rocks. Another massive wave was right behind them.
Two people now needed a rescue.
How did Scooby and Chumbo finally escape the chaos? Everaldo "Pato" Teixeira, a veteran big wave surfer from Brazil, tore in on yet another jet ski. In a deft and coolheaded rescue bolstered by years of experience, Teixeira rescued Chumbo and Scooby, both of whom were relatively unscathed.
This episode ended well and became one of the main highlights of the Big Wave Season, the drone video went viral after it was used on a Red Bull Production and later licensed to National Geographic, reaching 20 million views in few days, dozens of media outlets picked up the story, the footage is currently being licensed for several feature documentaries across the globe, and is now perhaps the most viewed piece of footage of Nazaré.

those jet ski guys don't get enough credit.
They are all surfers, they take turns
@@maquinavoadora4090 shiiiiiiiit didnt know that LOL
This is not a play in the park!
It’s not a game little boys like you shouldn’t be in the water
Right on !
Amazing they surf and rescue each other all at the same time! 😌
Btw, I never knew the jet ski people are literally the surfers taking turns to rescue each other 😵

They aren’t always other surfers. There are sometimes dedicated water safety personnel for this. I know the north shore lifeguards regularly provide water safety for WSL events on their beaches.
Same here, I think sometimes they're lifeguards tho
Surfers are the best lifeguards believe it
As a drone videographer I know how difficult this is. Great job! smooth pans, nice framing, and awesome flying - Not easy! Well done!
Well written, I would have been shaking and then fallen off the cliff
@AsSeenOnTV , FY
Imagine if it ran out of battery
@AsSeenOnTV no u
Well yes but mostly well done to the jet skis
This drone pilot is next level. thrilling video and happy everybody was safe. I legit said OH NO out loud when the jetski flipped over
Great drone video! These rescue guys deserve an award too.
True that! They are some of the best in the World
Hey, we have similar names!
Lucas chumbo is one of the best surfers in the world lol
The framing on 0:59 is so on point. Incredible flying and crazy situation
Jet ski rescuers are just as ballsy and just as important as these big wave hellmen/hellwomen.
I’ve always worked out and trained even for smaller waves. Most people think training is unnecessary. Well, maybe so. However, when the waves are this large, it’s almost a death wish if you fail to train for it. A hold down even for 15 seconds on a wave of this magnitude can just about kill you and has killed people. When your body is tweaked in ways you can’t imagine and you’re twenty feet below the surface...it takes everything you have to survive that. Dealing with cold water and a wetsuit make it that much harder. Just the mental confidence of training can mean the difference between life and death. Even your diet is a huge factor. Your Cardio better be on point. This level of surfing is just nuts. It’s not just falling on one wave that kills people. It’s the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. I’d seriously pray to God before paddling out there. Anything that can go wrong, usually will.
that's terrifying mate...
Thanks for this eye opening comment! :)
Techtastisch | Experimente und Lifehacks nicht erwartet dich hier zu finden. :)
I *tried* to surf some small waves just taller than myself and was beat to crap trying to get out far enough to catch one. I couldn't imagine being in waves from this video. Well, I can image it, I imagine dieing.
As you said, be in great cardio shape for sure. I run a lot and who knows, that probably helped me make it out.
Why do you do it ?
I don't know what's more crazy: surfing one of these big waves or being the jet ski guy which pulls out the surfers. Both are pretty though!
Much RESPECT to all my true water men & women. Great Job, 😨👣👌
Pena não haver uma nomeação para os Oscars... "for the best drone footage"
THIS GAVE ME SO MUCH ANXIETY I AM SH00K
A couper le souffle . Bravo pour le courage des hommes !!!!!!
So awesome to see others put themselves in harms way to save others. The surfing documentary, Riding Giants, shows how these guys risk their lives for each other because they know if the other was in the same situation they would do it for them too. Love the brotherhood amongst them. Highly recommend seeing Riding Giants on the evolution of surfing.
Wow, impressive rescue work. Bad ass indeed!
The driver of the ski has amazing skills with it. Inspiring yet scary to watch.
Idk, those 6 foot Cali waves still freak me out.
That’s cause you have small heart and balls
@@balaclavaboy247 😂😂😂
Pato! Awesome, I can't imagine trying to ride a jetski in surf and foam like that, responsible for saving 2 life's and his own. Surfers are a breed all their own.
Man that was so dramatic ! Edge of your seat kinda stuff !
Give that rescuer a monetary reward and a medal.
All I could say throughout the video “oh!” And “wow!”
This is amazing!!
A very nice camera video. I wish we could get more of this camera angles. By the way the work and experience of Everaldo is wonderful. All of this guys needs a medal, a gold medal for there bravure.
That current towards the cliffs is brutal. So much moving water ...
Bravo Pedro!!! You saved two lives
An unbelievable save for all three. Lots of guts, drama, and adrenaline
The backup jetski principle is for situations like this. 👍👍 Great work.
Right on, and cant understand any thumbs down. Love people helping people!
as a licensed drone pilot, MAD RESPECT to the skills of this drone pilot. Takes one to appreciate the skill it took to capture this dynamic moment on a drone. EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see the other drone pilots giving him props before my comment....
Absolute respect for the jet skiers.
Wow! They don’t get enough credit for this job!!
He crawls out the water and helps push the jet ski back over! Ha ha fearless!
Whoa! That is an incredible rescue, I take my hat off to those jetski riders
held my breath during the waves and i almost passed out :)
I never surfed a wave over 12 foot in 35 years. I had friends that died surfing two-foot waves and twelve-foot surf. One kid, Richard Starr, had a great life in front of him. Another, Mark Foo, had a television show. The good die young.
This just gave my anxiety anxiety.
I'm so happy they made it! My heart was going to explode if they hadn't. I'm so proud.
What a bad ass! Great work! ❤
Impresionante!!!
Thanks for this videos
really amazing stuff
Also think jet ski guys deserve an award
They risked their lives to save others!. I have much respect & love for rescuers!
somewhere out there “For scarcely for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure for a good man some would even dare to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.”
Romans 5:7-9 KJV
Next time anyone thinks they’re having a tough day on the job, they should watch these guys.
I watched this a few years ago and it terrified yet amazed me so much. Every time I saw a surfing video, I always remember this dramatic and chaotic rescue. Glad to have finally found this video again!!
great rescue. i wish i could do that with a jet sky my dream
If I was a young buck and knew about big wave surf like these guys know it I would love to run rescue on a wave runner like these guys. You guys rock, surfers and savers. Epic video.
Got to have a nice video downlink to see enough detail to keep the camera on them. Awesome flying and gimbal work. Bad ass rescue crew working there.
Thanks 🙏🏻 yes, flying conditions were not easy that day. Those guys in the water are some of the best in big wave surfing and rescuing.
Looks like you rescue a lot of people while surfing internet from your couch!!! no one asked for your opinion!!!
Kaushal Choudhary who asked for yours?
Wow, way to keep the camera and drone in perfect position to capture this. Very nice.
Free Life Bad ass rescue crew means amazing one
Unreal!!! Awesome rescue job!
Parabéns pelo prémio de melhor documentário filmado por drone!
That 45 degree left turn that flipped them on the ski was strange. Either way, incredible rescue after that. Madness even being out there, but great rescue regardless
That was top shelf all around - the two surfers, the jet ski driver and the drone pilot! Glad everyone got out unharmed (and the drone ;-)
Salvamento épico e excelente filmagem
Respect to those boys
amazing teamwork!
really a action drone video!
Até dá gosto ver! O melhor da grande aventura de surfar vagalhões! E como qualquer pato na água, o Pato esteve muito bem!!!
So awesome. I was once sucked by wave, and people in jet ski save us out.
Awe! Breathtaking ❗️Kudos to surfers ❗️🕊💫
Pato has great knowledge of the ocean and big waves absolutely great rescue made it look so easy.
Pure courage....what a braves men...amazing...Nazare...walls of raging water....beautiful....
Imagens espectaculares! 👌👏
Outstanding content. The footage, flying, music, everything about this video is right. Amazing work and please do post more videos!
Wow wonderful Thanks for Sharing 👌🤔😳🌹💐🙏
another outstanding filmed/edited sequence , thank you!
this should have 12 million views...............
Thank you for vid, most beautiful spot on earth, the ocean shows off her majestic power. I was lucky to be put into the ocean as a very new baby by my mom, I adapted instantly, a fish was born. Thanks Mom,RIP
Fearless, good work guys.
I didn't realize I was holding my breath that entire video.
O cara resgata os 2 e depois saí correndo pra virar o jet ski 💪🏼💪🏼
Excellent Rescue👍🏼
Proving how the right filming/editing sucks you in vs just watching a video. Great job!
when the guys were running away from the wave i was bouncing in my seat shouting run playa run
WOW! Just WOW!!
Hammer ! ... ich war schon genau an der Stelle ohne zu wissen das es da die dicksten Wellen gibt, die Brandung war damals "ruhiger" aber trotzdem beeindruckend gewaltig !!
Grande filme! Incrível cena, é preciso ter-se nervos de aço para lidar com uma situação destas!
Epic. This gives me chillz.
Heart stopping stuff guys well f***ing done on that rescue 👍👍👍👍
The jet ski guys are everything. Full stop.
Wow super hero for sure.... Good job
Fenomenal work by the drone operator.
OMG that was incredible!!!
fantastic footage and well done the rescue guys, very brave
BIG ups to the guy that was on the jet ski!
This is some outstanding footage!
Bravo boys
Great footage, and rescue. It is great as it gives context to the location. So many surf videos are too tight (maybe for making the waves appear more imposing), and those make it hard to get a sense of the landscape. At last I can see what Nazaré sort of looks like, with the sandy part and the big rocks. More surf videos should be like this (I would have even appreciated more a wider panoramic shot)
Thanks for the feedback Stefano 👊🏻
same here!
I had a stomachache seeing this... adrenaline, pure adrenaline, fear, respect!
totally agree.. there is not enough overall perspective and continuity in surf videos - Mr Voadara is in another league... a true artist with an eye...
get steven spielberg,payaso
Great Balls of Fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thats how this video should be name
Great video and drone flying, thanks!
This is better than any action movie
Bravo 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I saw the video many times!!!!😎
SUBSCRIBED!!! I almost drowned twice, once in Hawaii and the second in Portugal. These videos give me the chills. Awesome footage dude! You really show how big and dangerous it really is out there.
Absolutly
man your footage is BREATHTAKING! :O
Awesome rescue job!
good work all round.
Increíble el de la moto es todo un heroe.
Epic!!!
SO DRAMATIC.
well done! great stuff!
Brilliant.
Awesome footage
..legendary..
