LMAO...I absolutely love watching these greatest wipeout series of vids, this one is super funny and entertaining, FMD he took poundings at Cloudbreak in one day..lol insane in the membrane or what...great stuff guys with these vids. absolutely brilliant, love hearing the stories..
What I'm seeing on a lot of these wipeouts (Healy's, Pete's etc) is not necessarily rider failure but the limits of the equipment. It's apparent that the board just can't do the required speed and becomes held up, causing the rider to fly off at a tangent-
i had a double under once on a 6 foot day at el porto and thought i was gonna blackout. first i panicked, but then i relaxed..i felt the euphoria and just smiled. then i just came up and sucked wind.
I'm so proud of you for exposing your inner feelings at last. "when i eat it i get a rush....". Such sensitivity. A gold mine of information for use by a genuine therapist. SJH
I went over the falls onto a 3 foot deep sand bar during sandy on a solid 6 footer and just relaxed and accepted my fate. I was happy because I didn't hit the sand and I was kind of in a euphoric state whilst being thrashed around.
garrett you are the man child. only a matter of time bro. you are going big but what is big enough. you should consider a aqua lung or a vest that inflates on big impacts. good luck superman.
It sounds stupid but what he described then about being relaxed while being on the edge of death is exactly what drowning is like, many scientists have said the most peaceful way to die is drowning
Yeah happened to me once. It was really calm, quiet, peaceful. I only realised what was happening when i touched the bottom and that jolted me out of the dreamlike state - I'd forgotten I was underwater! I got to the top pretty quickly but I was in shock for hours afterward.
It is actually very easy, most important thing. Stay down for a couple of seconds, to let it move along a bit. Then, you come up :P But, when the surf is that big.. it's just about impossible.
It was just two waves, so probably more like 20-40 seconds... but as anyone who's been held under knows, even 5 seconds feels like about 2 mins! Rare breed he is. Reminds me of the legendary 'Flea' in the pioneer days of mavericks,... both seemly enjoying being punished by the ocean.
Its not that deep. Cloudbreak just keeps you in the soup current forever! You always want to wipeout carrying the least amount of forward speed possible!
Dude should just shut up so we can enjoy the surf. Noone cares about every thought and movement and blah blah blah... Its just fun to watch and that's all.
My bit of advise is get a board that actually works, a Geoff McCoy single Gull Fin design. Talk to the right people for boards. Talk to Geoff McCoy, for a single fin for these specific waves. Those boards in this video are primitive crap. If one person listened during one of these sessions, everyone would see. In Fact. Fly me out there Surfline. I'll ride those waves on my 7'2" Astron Zot Nugget, the same design I was easily catching a 15 foot face wave on in the photo, you have, of "Delray Beach" Florida 2-8-2016, on the outside, and that was not "Delray Beach". The photo Jeff took.That was actually to the North on an outer very uncrowded reef in Palm Beach. I challenge you or any sponsor to show how Geoff McCoy single fins are light years ahead than anything anyone has ever rode. But, if you don't take me up on this challenge, it might be that, like Hollywood, you as a tribe, the corrupt surf industry, black balled Geoff McCoy out of envy, by the Busting Down the Door crew, back in the day.

Yeah, that ‘other dimension’ is the last stop before departure!
The Badass made it out!
almost every video i watch of garrett mcnamara is him wiping out on a gnarly wave
That dimension is a feeling that you've resigned yourself to dying and there is nothing you or anyone can do about it....been there once!
John Dalecki what happened to ya
I wouldn't have wiped out on that second wave...because i would never have gone back out. Dude you are a beast! Just Awesome.
“I went in another dimension”: ok boys, who’s gonna break it to him.
mind explaining it to me? these comments are going over my head.
You are a legend man!!!
Gmac is one of a kind.
You are a legend... 1st class waterman.
If you relaxed at all when you meant to, you're one up on me! Congratulations! You're on your way.

Garrett is on a whole nother level. Talking about liking the oxegen deprivation...lol
mad respect for that guy
Euphoria feelings -> 5 seconds -> black out -> 5 seconds -> death
He was effectively 5 seconds from death
this shit is sick, like the indepth description, advice for future surfers, good stuff
"I went to another dimension!"
Hehehe
+Francois Theron Haha u laught but the day u will be in a situation like that ( i know it will never happe u will not laught :p
i had a double under once on a 6 foot day at el porto and thought i was gonna blackout. first i panicked, but then i relaxed..i felt the euphoria and just smiled. then i just came up and sucked wind.
The barrel riding advice is appreciated Garrett but my technique when I'm in barrels that big is to just wake up in a sweat.
I'm so proud of you for exposing your inner feelings at last. "when i eat it i get a rush....".
Such sensitivity. A gold mine of information for use by a genuine therapist.
SJH
G-Macs wipe out on Mavs must of been a rush for days! Dude is on some other kind of level 😬
Anybody knows what difference it makes when you grab the rail?
Almost drowning.
THIS IS ENJOYABLE.
love seeing his hat fly off at 2.58
Hilarious, all that’s left of him is the hat!
Legend
What is "grab the rail"?
This dude is nuts but God bless him lol
balls
of
steel
@alarsen54321 is ur local break teahupoo?

glad your ok mate.
Superman!
Thanks I will try that. Especially getting rolled...
Garrett Rules! He has the record for the biggest wave ever caught: 73 ft in Nazaré, Portugal!
Aye.., karamba!!
The music should be Wipe Out by the Surfaries
indeed!
you really don't know unless you've been there...
DINOSSAURO DO SURF!!!! MONSTER NO FEAR!!!!
garrett you are the man child. only a matter of time bro. you are going big but what is big enough. you should consider a aqua lung or a vest that inflates on big impacts. good luck superman.
It sounds stupid but what he described then about being relaxed while being on the edge of death is exactly what drowning is like, many scientists have said the most peaceful way to die is drowning
When he says he went into another dimension of oxygen deprivation, what was actually happening was that he was beginning to drown
Ethan Elliott yah
Yeah happened to me once. It was really calm, quiet, peaceful. I only realised what was happening when i touched the bottom and that jolted me out of the dreamlike state - I'd forgotten I was underwater! I got to the top pretty quickly but I was in shock for hours afterward.
2:00 now thats a bum slide
"You got some serious thrill issues man"
On your sup wave, I couldnt help but think if that board would have hit you, it would have been game over!
Did he grow up in Hawaii has that pidgin accent?
Hes actually an interdimentional space being that astral travelled from a galaxy far far away.
@@xwhite2020 He's actually a fricking idiot.
to speak pidgen, you got me raised by parents who speak pidgen.
All the meth heads speak pigeon. 🤪
Must be a Pro, Sweetheart. Non-pros and wannabees will always drown. Sad, really.
And take my word for it.....That junk's hard! Stephen James.
do you think sion or foo could have survived with a special vest?
i don't know. what do you think?
"I went to another dimension"
The last day of my trip to Panama I got cleaned up by a big double up that was like 17ft and it was the funnest thing i did that day
thats sick
Yessss mate
is he off tap or wat?
garrett..you are fuckin maaaad!
What I'd give to have a pair like this guy. He's the REAL Iron Man.
Woww
Well, I can never been in anything near the size of this.
The beaches near me, are always about 3 foot, and I still tend to get scared sometimes :\
Scared? Its 3ft. How tall are you?
I think he’s being a little sarcastic
It is actually very easy, most important thing.
Stay down for a couple of seconds, to let it move along a bit. Then, you come up :P But, when the surf is that big.. it's just about impossible.
Has anyone ever tried not to panic under water? That junk's hard!
grabbed that rail
WTF did he do to his eyebrows ?
or he was getting closer to his maker in heaven....to the light ya know the happy place :P
best thing to do underwater is stay calm
the euphoria stage of oxigen deprivation is right before u black out, he was lucky to get up
i know
He never hit bottom? Holy shit how deep was it out there.. lol
Dude's insane. I surfed some when I was younger but I could never have to the big wave thing. Those hold downs sound awful.
Safe On third base!
surfing is like a religious experience honestly
from 1:58-2:02, kinda looks fun haha, until it's over
it's that easy..... ;o]
don't bail, grab rail
Massive kaleidoscope barrel on acid to near death
after his gnarly jaws wave....he eats shit on every good wave he catches
Lol holy hell, he was prolly under for 2 plus minutes
It was just two waves, so probably more like 20-40 seconds... but as anyone who's been held under knows, even 5 seconds feels like about 2 mins! Rare breed he is. Reminds me of the legendary 'Flea' in the pioneer days of mavericks,... both seemly enjoying being punished by the ocean.
dude ur cool, however you seem to be getting off on the power of the fall....dangerousness mindset....best of luck aloha
Hmm, I definitely don´t want to go to another dimension of oxygen deprivation.
💀💀💀
@JByrnes46 its true look it up. just been verified last month
I never hit bottom at all, at all, at all, at al.......
This guy is the shit! jajaja
once the leg rope got raped around my feet, I didn't panic..but i sure as hell wanted too
“ I like to do anything “
Id like to see you bodyboard that or tow in skimboard that
so he eats it on purpose what bad ass n
Have you ever tried to describe a wave you rode WITHOUT using your hands? Good luck.
Cannot be done
this guy deff does drugs. it felt good it felt good hahaha
lol dat junk
nah, he was just getting high off of oxygen deprivation.
Its not that deep. Cloudbreak just keeps you in the soup current forever!
You always want to wipeout carrying the least amount of forward speed possible!
watch zietgiest and tell me if we should rename jesus christ to horus christ.
OK, yes, brilliant surfer.... but effing irritating to listen to.
Dude should just shut up so we can enjoy the surf. Noone cares about every thought and movement and blah blah blah... Its just fun to watch and that's all.

What a pile of bullshit
Nestor Batlle
No way dude...
Bonzers rule bro.!!!
You’re giving Geoff McCoy a bad name writing all this bullshit you kook
