  • TERROR VAULT | Part 2 Mad Moments & Wipeouts
    a Tim Bonython Short
    I have spent a good part of my life filming this freak of nature and i have to say its one of most intense, most dangerous waves on the planet.
    The Right in South Western Australia picks up monster swells that pound that part of the coastline, especially from April till October. The wave works on a shallow piece of reef about 1 kilometre off the coast. When the waves hit from the right direction, they create huge barrels that pour over and if you become victim, the wave will take you down deep. Deep enough to blow your ears out like so many of the surfers that have been brave enough to take it on.
    The Right is darn right WRONG!

    Having surfed for over 50 years.... and grown up on WA surf, this video had me feeling physically sick. Seeing half a dozen successful rides and watching those guys go over the falls onto a dry suck out? Seriously, how no one died is beyond me. As stated below, some waves are not meant to be ridden, just admired. Gutsy stuff guys, glad you all made it.

    I've seen all the other big wave videos, but these have to be the most freaky, frightening waves I've ever seen. The waves were so heavy that the face of the waves became distorted and buckled under it's own sheer weight with a lip forming well below the actual top of the wave and sometimes a second lip below that. Just unbelievable!!!
    Phenomenal photography and total awe for the surfers that had the conditioning, composure, and confidence in their abilities to attempt to surf those waves.
    Much appreciation to both the surfers and producers of this video for the opportunity to at least experience vicariously what big wave surfing must be like. It must be the thrill of a lifetime.

    • @rebjr6615
      @rebjr6615 Před rokem +2

      shallow reef pushes more water up into the lip so there's less of a face, which is why the lip drops like that. freaky to watch

      @nathansackett6890 Před 5 měsíci +1

    God Bless you all. I’m obsessed with surfing from a past life. As a kid wanted to be a marine biologist. Ended up being a nurse and a psychic medium. Not but choice by date. But I’m very much connected to the water. So I watch allot of surfers and pray to the ocean spirits for allot of you. You’d be surprised I’m Latina and I know a few awesome surfers by name. I watch allot of competitions and well my mom is from Nazare. Might I say more?! Makes allot of sense. These waves are too fast 💨 looks like a reef banger.

    Absolutely great piece of filming.. thanks so much - would you consider maybe an additional short film whereby you interview the riders as they watch their own wipeout.. or successful ride - and maybe show a bit more of the beginning and end of the ride? There must be some incredible stories to tell - like what happened to the jetski that lost it's driver.. - and what is it like underneath that wave once you have wiped out.. ? And what does it feel like to be one of the few riders that have actually successfully ridden a wave to the very end.. would love to see their reaction and comment...

    I used to surf a reef break off California and the waves there were nowhere near as big as these. Even then, those waves at home would sometimes grab me, and make me wish I had chosen a different path in life. Yet, I went back again and again. Not so sure I would ever think about doing this once much less go back for more punishment. Those dudes are amazing athletes.

      A lot of stuff that seemed really important to me as a young man, now means little or nothing to me.
      Something like surfing these waves cannot be appreciated by anybody but other surfers, and then only other surfers who have experienced waves like this - which would be only a few people. Luckily the footage will live forever.

    My favorite of the series. Shipstern's has the steps, but this wave. If I hadn't see a few of the guys that made it, I'd say it was unrideable, even towing in. There are some waves, where the guys are in the slot & a second lip appears & destroys them. Some guys are too high & get sucked up & over, some are too low & get hit by the guillotine. And then there's some that do things perfectly & WHAMMO, they get blasted by spray or the wind knocks em off their board. It's like this wave is alive, doesn't want to be tamed, & with a little flick send a grown man 30-40 feet in the air.
    Hats off to every one of the chargers, drivers & filmers. Didja notice the people bundled up in winter coats?? That's some cold water there fellas.
