HUGE 2nd Reef Pipeline Set Mows Down Surfers In Lineup
VloĆŸit
- Äas pĆidĂĄn 19. 01. 2022
- A big NW Pipeline swell peaked in the morning before the final day of Da Hui Backdoor Shootout. Here's 2 raw, unedited minutes from a large 2nd reef set. Barrels, drop ins, and many duckdives đ€
Iâd do what I always do, wait for a lul, paddle out, sit way out the back for 4 hours, pretty much paddle back in and then tell everyone that I went surfing and it was huge, I was out there for 4 hours. Nobody asks me about the waves I caught anyway. One day I hope to catch a wave.
Whenever i do that i get para im gonna get caught in a bad rip and get dragged out lol
hahaha. Don't worry, secret's safe in the youtube comments lol
If that ainât me
@@leecarterreppinjesuschrist7686 ahhh rips donât go that far out, just go with it and then paddle left or right, and then back in lol đ
Haha thatâs me in Waikiki! Not because of the size of the surf but because the crowds are intense and I hate confrontation.
The toughest feeling, is having to accept that your about to be in for an awful experience when a set comes in, you canât go anywhere, you have to just prepare, and staying calm makes the biggest difference.
Yup, just gotta accept the inevitable
it's always about not-panicking.
even body surfing. You get crushed, you're under -
for seemingly too long - but you just ride-it-out. For
(pro/amateur) Surfers even greater composure. Cuz
body surfers don't go into this-kind-of-water.
I feel like I'd rather take an outside reef set from the inside than take an inside reef wave on the head. Only surfed pipe once tho so I can't be positive
,
Getting worked in the wash machine is one thing, doing it within twenty other folks is just crazy underwater mayhem. Salute to all.
Twenty? Try 60-80.
Twenty is the number of regulars out there who will beat the piss out of you if you screw up, which is REALLY easy to do out there.
Yup, getting tangled up with a bunch of other dudes when a huge wall of water is coming your way. And it's only 7am. No coffee needed lol
@@OffDaLip Tamayo Perry knows this all too wellđđ€
He said 20 lolz
@@shacktime YOu surfers still play the tuff guy role?
The last time I paddled out at Pipe was just over 7 years ago. It was bombing and chunky with a side-offshore chop and Third Reef was washing through to Second a lot. Pretty sketchy. I had to duck under several wide wash-throughs. I was getting under them okay until one dragged me so long I couldnât hold on to my board any longer. When I came up I found Iâd been pushed right into the worst spot possible, just inside the main boil, and turned around just in time to see a proper 8+ Hawaiian First Reefer coil up before detonating right on top of me. It was such a heavy thrashing. My board was obliterated. I came up with just 12-15 inches of tail⊠and two more waves dropping on me. The current was nuts and I got washed up to Pupes before I made it to shore. Didnât even get a wave that morning but itâs one of the most memorable sessions Iâve ever had.
Spent the rest of the day shooting the swell as it dropped and become more manageable and crowded. Bethany Hamilton was out the whole time waiting patiently for roll-ins out the back. She packed a few meaty ones.
The day before was bigger and nuttier. JJF and just a few others gave it a go but not many waves were ridden. John only packed a handful himself before calling it a session. Some of those rides are in his View from a Blue Moon vid.

Careful. Sheâs the gnarliest squirter aroundđŠ
A real spitting viper, that oneđđ€ŁđłđŹ
@@mtnvalley9298 No matter how your session goes out there youâll always be left with a cool story to tell. Itâs the ultimate Shakespearean surf spot. Comedies, dramas, and occasional tragedies (and even horrors), often occurring all at the same time. Itâs never a dull moment.
Every surfer capable enough to make it out-and even just sit in the channel for a front row seat-needs to experience the place at least once in their lifetime. But itâs as black diamond as it gets so definitely only do so if you really know what youâre doing and youâre in peak physical shape. Nothing is shittier than having people out there who donât have what it takes and donât know their limitations.
The best thing about a clean-up set like this is watching it from the shore and feeling the pure relief from knowing youâre dodging getting workedâŠThis time anyways!
Yup đ€đ€đ€
Awesome! The guy who had a great ride and then surfed off the top (2:02) was the bomb!
Keeps attracting viewers. Great video!!
A reminder to pick your days!

It's always sketchy to paddle out on a rising north west swell with a short interval especially at Pipe.
You can never be sure just how fast the swell's gonna rise or how big it's gonna get.
It sucks when you start to see second and third reef wash throughs and the interval is so short that sets start stacking up and you get 10 wave wash throughs really close together with 8 foot lines of whitewater just annihilating surfers and boards.
If you get pushed inside where the reef's really shallow you'll get rolled on the reef as the water drains ahead of tons of white water that first steamrolls you and then grates you on the reef like a piece of moldy cheese.
Eventually you get pushed to the beach and go home to nurse your pummeled and lacerated body, mourn your broken stick and wait for the swell to start dropping before you even think about ever paddling out on a rising northwest swell again.

You just described the last time I ever paddled out at Pipe. But instead of a wall of whitewash hitting me inside the boil I took a pitching proper First Reef guillotine right on my noggin for one of the worst floggings of my life. I legit thought I might not make it when I saw that monster rearing up on me.
Sadly, my Pipe days are likely over. Had a really nasty disc herniation a few years back. Havenât surfed more than a handful of days since. Glad I had a pretty proper season that year, tho (2013/14, when Fanning won his third title). It was one of the best Pipe seasons in years.
@al b dough For the disc herniation, you should try this thing called "sit and decompress". I'll start including links in my descriptions for the items I used to keep me in the water. Had a bad herniation this past year as well. Still recovering
@@OffDaLip Thanks!!! Iâm always down for good rehab tipsđđŒđ€đŒ
Yeah, itâs brutal. I had no idea how insanely painful it is until it happened to mess. Worse than every fracture, torn ligament, pulled tendons and hammies, concussions, and even worse than the kidney stone I had that made me thinking I was for sure dyingđ
The only good thing is that I didnât/donât have sciatic pain with itđ„Č
I have Fanningâs type of scoliosis, which was a contributing factor.
@@shacktime I feel ya bro'! I got pitched once when the wave jacked just as I was poppin' up.
I got pitched with the lip, free fell and faceplanted the reef when the lip hit me on the back of the head.
I hit the reef so hard with my face that, as I was surfacing, I started feeling my face convinced that I had broken some facial bones. Luckily I face planted a flat spot in the reef so I didn't break any facial bones or lose any teeth but I did have a nice hole punch in my upper lip.
I guess that's the price you pay for loving big, hollow barrels, LOL đđ€
The haoles that don't know what they're doing is more sketchy.
Much respect for the guy dropping in at :31 seconds. He could have straightened out but tucked in and took his lumps but got tubed.
Yeah in triple overhead + over reef thatâs pretty gutsy
He kinda barned it
Would have made it if he didn't cook his bottom turn
@@lachella87 watch closely, as he is dropping in, some Gumby is in his way and the goober can't even duck dive to avoid.. when a surfer or whoever takes off, get out of the way and treat them as if they're Kelly Slater or Mike Stewart.. how would you like it if you can't perform to the utmost best ability on that đ wave, ol skool would've took 'em in to punch on or just decked 'em out in the line up?.. I see this so often in crowded spots, especially Kirra, Snapper rocks in QLD Australia, popular surf breaks.. absolutely disgraceful and awful - if any of these lad's had Jesus Christ Almighty, they'd never ever be like that.. experience is crucial too! So simple, paddle in the channel or just get out of the way!
Looked like he roofed it to me, barely got pitted
We know it's a workout when a big set comes in.
Still awed at 52yo, nothing like it.
1994 was my first paddle out...I still remember going to country from town. I could hear the trains from the pineapple fields. When the sun came up, my jaw dropped. AND IT WAS ONLY 2-5FT...LOL
hahaha, that size still can pack a punch đ€
Shoots, brah- Eddie would go!!!
I did in â69 pumping at 8-12.
Just finished the new copy of Surfer and one of the tips was to keep your eyes open when held down so you which way is up.
Ha! Of course you know up from down.
Some guy on the shoulder was dropping in on me so I went backdoor and was locked in good. Suddenly the wave heaved and I felt my board hit my head. I was slowly letting air out when I bumped my head on the coral. No air at the bottom and finally opening my eyes, saw the surface so far away and when I broke the surface couldnât get a breath of pure air with the foam a foot thick. Lungs choking with salty air, and the next wave just about to crash down on me, dive down with half a breath of air and yeah, my life didnât flash before me but I was thinking of all the things this 15 year old would miss.
I thought I would die.
Keep your eyes open in the water after wiping out unless you know which way is which in a washing machine.
the sets never stop
....and I struggle with little waves that reach my waist while standing a couple feet into the water at the shoreline here in Nova Scotia, Canada LOL.....much respect to these brave athletes!
Thanks for watchin đ€
Just keep going out there, a bit further, little by little...never give up and you'll be surfing đ
Waves were so close together. Never one second to chill. Better be in shape. Brutal
Well said đ€
Keep up the awesome work ODL!!!
will do, thanks braddah đ€
When I was in the service, I tried surfing once. I headed out with a friend's board... never made it past the break... ended up almost a mile down the beach. So I decided to have a beer.
Nothing like a beer after a surf đ»
Those waves are cray. I wouldn't be surfing without Scooba gear a helmet âïž
hahaha. Big wave surfing with scuba gear. Rather innovative đ€
@@OffDaLipjust remember who came up with the idea LOL I make wraps and my name is Justin Williams I can come up with some pretty clever ideas you would have to have something more compact to scuba dive with surfing it's not necessarily that you're scuba diving but it would be safer for big waves in case you go under and you're under for too long you would have some sort of mask and helmet or something that's compact and not in your vision and not heavy but a short supply of air to help your chances of survival but you're free to use that idea if you'd like I would be thrilled to know that it was invented and just say hey some schmuck off the internet thought of it and make money I don't care I'm in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania I'm far from the beach and no money to invent or patent anything
The sets appear to be on fast forward mode...
Goodness...
Skill and guts in equal measure...
đżđŠ
Old mate on that green board got pumped
The first two waves after the big roller are the worst. I had a similar scenario surfing a large powerful swell recently. I caught a bomb, then jumped off when it closed out. Then proceeded to dive under the next 5 or so waves. The worst hold down happened on the rear end of the set, when I was all ready out of breath. The wave shot me straight to the boulders, no escaping that. After the wave finally went over, and a long swim to the surface, I was gasping for air, then had to dive under the next few waves. Took me quite a while to get my breath back. Good times
Sounds like the boneyard under SRF next to Swamis in North Sandy Eggo county
@@robertchiarizia9463 Full of Sups. đ
Wow.....
@@robertchiarizia9463 that mighta been where I thought I was swimmin up, when really, I was swimmin down! Bad end of the day, great before that!
Probably what happened to Todd Chesser,but he couldn't surface.
A superb athlete,but when mother ocean wants you cie la vie.
HEAVY! And no, I wouldnât paddle out. Much respect. Thank you!)
HERO takes the ride of his life @ 2:00
The scariest thing I ever encountered on the North Shore was scratching up the face at Waimea and starting to slide backwards. Throw your gun over the top and let the wind take it. Roll in a ball and the hold down, say to yourself relax. Come up dizzy and get set for the next hold down. Get out of the shore break was always fun too. 3rd reef Pipe was just to insane to even paddle out. 2nd reef look for the boil and get there. I have hit boards in the tube and it usually chopped off half the fin or broke the board never never the whole fin. 1970s was the best to be there.
Sounds like you were kind of a hellman. Thanks for sharing those crazy stories đ€
Wow, dudes got punished with that set. Feels like thunder on the beach.
This is prime body surfing stuff..perfect!
The bodysurfers are masters out there đ€
just here to remind myself that the clean up we got at pyramid yesterday could've been way worse. buddy lost his board and we both paddled in on mine, looking over our heads praying the set was over. I dunno how much "young n dumb" factor I have left in me to continue working my way up to surfing pipeline one day
Please more vĂdeos of Huge sets!!!
Definitely. Thanks for watching as always!
no, donÂŽt encourage death
Dude catches some serious air at 2:00. I donât know much about surfing but never really seen anyone catch air like that
Harry Bryant. He's known for doing crazy stuff above the lip đ€
That's a proper workout! Mentally and physically.
100%
Amazing footage again!
Mahalos đ€
Where Iâm at we get 6 foot waves on a good day and although it may not sound like much but I still struggle paddling out. This is insane... I wouldnât make it. Salute!
Yea, this is so heavy đ€
been there a few times at Sunset when that freak west bowl comes out of nowhere...paddle like a MF haha
Man it's been pumping...great footage brudda.
Crazy run of swell. Thanks braddah đ€
Exactly why I've fished for 50 years!! Only 2 sneaker waves have got me in all that time on the water!!!
đđđ If I had to choose between Pipe Armageddon sets and fishing, I'd choose fishing all day haha
Sweet!!!
As an old surfer from the 80âs. This many surfers in one spot rarely happened. We didnât have web cameras or cell phones to look at and see what spot had the best waves. We had to load up a 60 Volkswagen van and drive up or down the coast looking at each spot and decide to jump in. Never knowing if the next spot was better.
The times have drastically changed đ€
Definitely better times back then
Was still like that about 10 years ago. At least in Portugal. Until the championships came through, even then there was some spots. But then Nazare happened. That was it. Used to be able to surf supertubus, (the spot where the guy blew an eardrum) with no more than 10 people. Now you could literally walk out to the lineup on people. It's why I'm always super respectful of locals when I surf in new spots I don't know. I get the pain of having your local spot swamped by tourists....
Yeah this looks absolutely miserable compared to what youâre describing. Itâs like butters ânativeâ ancestors took over and ruined a beautiful place. Classic
Cool story ol head
I am so stressed out now. Thank you.
Hahaha đ€
Wow.This is the wave!!Awesome))
Thanks for watching đ€
I would never think of venturing out in those huge waves for fear of my life!
you and me both đ€
NOOO WAY!!!! Too Crowded!
Had an experience some time back that scared the crap out of me, now I struggle mentally with anything over 5ft. Sucks, but with time Iâll get my courage back.
Just gotta take it slow đ€
That was brutal. Tasty waves come at a cost.
gotta pay to play đ€
One Year Later: I had a day like that... and 40 years later I'll never forget it. Closest I ever came to death, so far!
worked!!! that was brutal!!
those are the best ones
Ho bruddah, once again more donuts than all the sweets at Ted's bakery !! Not for me, rule numba1 " when in doubt, don't paddle out. " Nuts to think about everybody crashing into one another when that set washed through. Great footageđ€đŒđ€đŒđ€đŒ
All those guys getting washed around deserve some Ted's Bakery after that lol. Thanks braddah đ€
Holy shit!! Power bars for everyone after sesh.
Pipe is no joke. I have been fortunate enough to watch from the shore plenty of times. I know my limits and I'm not good enough to be in that line up on huge days. Thanks for the video. #eddiewouldgo
Just watching from shore is an adrenaline rush in itself đ€
I paddled out in similar conditions, I was 10 years younger though. All the bull crap and the beating you take is worth it when you finally get in the perfect spot in the lineup and take that beautiful drop have brought the perfect wave!
A ride you'll never forget đ€
@@OffDaLip absolutely! I will still remember that ride when I'm old and senile! Back then, I was fearless, but in all honesty I think I'd take that paddle again. I honestly can't describe that feeling to someone who's never surfed. My wife looks at me dumbfounded, but she understands that I'm passionate about it and have been since we were little kids. I looked up and married my best friend that I've known my whole life, don't know how we went off to this side of the conversation but it really helps. I really hate being stuck in Nashville right now, while she doesn't understand it she is supportive. Fortunately I travel enough to get a few good sessions in throughout the year!
The ocean laughs at your swimming abilities.
Mother Nature reigns supreme
I love surfing but this is where I draw the line
agreed đ€đ€đ€
Gnarly time right there đ€Ż
It's like watching a bunch of đ§ milling around on the ice.
The great equalizer
Fire sale đ„
Awesome just an idea every vid is about riding would be awesome a vid of guys paddleing out with a drone shot as well as a land shot to show the real beat downs and guys getting washed out call it when Pipe Wins. For the guys who cant make it out
Yup, very cool ideas. Showing the other aspects of surfing đ€
I know fuck all about surfing but I have mad respect for anyone who goes out in seas and gets after it, especially these folks đđ»
Definitely đ€
This is just INSANE
Yes, that was a huge morning. Thanks for watching đ€
Jeez itâs consistent
Big rising swell đ€
That air at 2:03 đ
More like 2:00

The dolphing call this Land Clowns on parade!!
Pipeline is heavy as it gets and can be very crowded when itâs firing. Definitely a critical beat down on a clean up set! Even the best surfers suffer serious consequences.
True. Even the most seasoned vets aren't safe
Oh course Iâm paddling outâŠ.and timing is everything at the pipe with the tide and NW swellâŠI am always the one sitting far outside waiting for the clean up set to roll in and âcharge um bradduh đ
yewwwwww Rush 'em! đ€
Thanks for this one. Incredible.
Glad you enjoyed brother đ€
Looks fun out
Florida surfers be dreaming of these waves!
Pretty much the whole world does đ€
Relentless!!!!
No wouldnât paddle out even when I was 20 years younger, much respect - done Trestles double overhead, as far as Iâll go⊠đđ
I feel this deeply in my bones. Paddling out on Big Weds â07 is nothing compared to pipe. I get chills thinking of that impossible duck dive
Daza would go!đ€đââïž
Another level! EliteâŠ.
I know the feeling. Sheer survival instincts.
Very cool but you guys are crazy!
Just a bunch of mad lads
From the comforts of my couch- YES!
Standing on that Beach- Heck No!
Same đ
"You will never make it to the line up unless you duck dive." "Duck dive?"
đđđ Classic line
Zoo. Wear you out fast. Lucky to get 1 outside set. Before you get runover
đ€đ€đ€
I think that's called;getting WORKED.
Not at pipe, and not as high, but then Iâm pretty much an intermediate-level surfer. I will always remember the first time I got caught inside with a cleanup set and wasnât cool, calm and prepared. I didnât get a big enough breath, and when I got drilled, I thought I was gonna drown. But then I surfaced just before I blacked out-just in time to grab a gulp of air for the next wave to drill me. When I finally got back to the beach, I was exhausted and my brain felt like a pin cushion. I just lay down on my towel and gained a huge amount of awe and respect for the waves. Peace.
Getting held down by a huge wave is one of the worst things, especially the first time it happens. Eventually you can get used to it, but it still sucks lol đ€
At any point do surfers wear inflatable pfds?
@@MyGoogleCZcams Im not a surfer as I grew up in the West Virginia mountains but Id say no on pfds. Only whitewater rafters and guides use those it seems. I grew up around raft guides and teaching snowboarding in the winters so Im not sure why pfds would impede proper surfingđ€·đŒââïž
No, no and NO. These guys are a different breed.
Well said đ€
Buzzy kerbox and laird Hamilton used to go snorkeling in this small stuff

Looks like I saw a big dorsal fin in the mix! Double trouble.
Yea, that's all you'd need right then đ€
Thx Beautiful day, Too short. I could have watched that all day, Following the boils. At around 26 second the guy gets kinda snaked, but they wave in respect. Rare... on film
Solid 6â Hawaiian day at Pipe!
Agreed lol
Its really pumping, lock in..
SURE WOULD!!đđŻđđ€
đ€đ€đ€
great example of why I don't paddle pipe when I go to the north shore.....I'll stick to Chuns and Laniakea, thanks :)
Excellentđđ
yewww!
Surfing Pipe on a 6ft day is scary . Shallow reef đł
That's crazy!
The cleanup set from hell
That moment when you look up and see a huge wall of water bearing down on you and you know that you are about to get hammered.
I had an experience with waves coming in like that after coming off I couldnât get back onto my board as the waves just coming without a break then as I was about to go under again a hand grabbed me and a voice said Iâve got you.
That surfer who saved me that day was my Guardian Angel if wasnât for him I wouldnât be writing this as that the surf was eating surfboards for breakfast and a fair bit of blood was spilled it was totally insane but boy what a rush it was.
Wow, crazy story...Where were you surfing?
@@OffDaLip I was surfing at Manly Beach here in Sydney and itâs a good few years now since that day and I thought I was a goner for sure if it hadnât been for that surfer .
The waves were huge and really slapping and hammering surfers all over the shop, one bloke got a good ride on a wave and then he tried to cut back onto the other side but the wave slapped him and his board a good few feet in the air , it was a crazy day
I was a decent competitive surfer but then as now, I never enjoyed waves that were about "survival" Head high or so has always been fun, although I've ridden a FEW in some big stuff, Hawaii and elsewhere. Love watching the crazies who ride Nazere thoug
Mad respect to the adrenaline junkies. Once you get that fix, you gotta keep goin back for more đ€
Even fish are like, "I think ima gonna sit-this-one-out."
đđđ
Brutal!
so brutal
00:19 that boogier needs to take a beating
that last minute "i dont think I can duck dive this" bail at 2:06
