Bruce, you are a legend!
For me, this is the most beautiful and perfect wave in the world. Not Pipeline. Sorry to say that
For me is teahupoo
Namibia
Guitar Heaven I think you’re right.
I also agree
it’s got a nice frame and holds for really long. it seems like pipe is just the adrenaline of the drop.
Probably the best surf ive ever seen in my life
I've watched surfing footage for nearly 50-years now, and the ride at 2:44 of this video is perhaps the greatest single ride I've ever seen in my entire life, from Pipeline to Tahiti. The sheer size of the wave, the perfection and length of the rideable tube, the freaking balls out amazing takeoff... if this fantastic surfer hadn't hit that last area of turbulence at the very end of the tube, NOT ONLY would this have been the Wave of the Year, but the wave of the CENTURY.
Yeah, that drop was sick - I was bummed that he didn't make it out.. but still very sick ride.
Absolutely - it was almost perfect and the guy is seriously brave.
The wave at 1:10 is better
take off was so effin sick! I like what the other guy said about not being able to sleep after surfing there all day. I bet not! Crazy good waves and great surfers
Yeah I agree pretty rad
Arguably the most photogenic wave out there. Simply Beautiful... Yes scary as hell.
3:32 Andy irons wave. Love the colour transition towards the end of the wave.. beautiful
Bruce * sorry RIP Andy legend
Surfing is one of humanitys greatest achievement's.
Put the bong down, dude.
Surfing is Gods gift to his children
Total T Taking off on a small one would be this human greatest achievement. Chances are it would be my last.
One of the most beautiful achievements
Seen this a few years ago, @3:44 dude on the red board, unreal😎
cloudbreak is an amazing wave. what a crew, insane swell!
What a close out. Go to the South Bay and surf some real waves. Edit: that was a joke, of course cloudbreak is amazing.
Sick. Magical. Love the music too. 💥💥👊
I just keep watching this amazing video. Maybe I can go there in my next lifetime
These are some of the most perfect waves I've ever seen on film. Wow.
Beautiful, and captivating; Kudos!
So perfect, pure magic.
Loving that late drop. legendary ride that one
I'm in bed on the other side of the world and its been 6 years since this was filmed and it still made my butt pucker. 😀🌊🏄
Was there last weekend the wave was perfect as this...
Beautiful stuff!
This is the most incredible video!
Thank You!
Crazy. What an epic wave
Best ever, beautifully INSANE!
2:43 my mouth was open that entire wave!
Beautiful footage, thanks 😎😍🌺👍🧡🏄
Epicness!!!
Such a sick wave at 2:50 ..... stunning
Cloudbreak in these conditions is the most beautiful, impressive wave ever..
Wow. Off the charts.
Greatest wave I’ve surfed.
This is A B S O L U T E L Y amazing and spectacular ! ! ! . . .
Thanks for giving us mortals something to imagine while we try to get to sleep
My favorite wave
Sick. Classic
Nice and clean. Guess I'm kinda jaded though, cause Makaha on Sunday was bigger than that. And peeps claiming best wave... it's Log Cabins when you see 7m at the buoy...
LOVE IT WISH WAS YOUNG AGAIN
Join the club:( I so miss the early to late 80s here. Six trips in ten years, scored it prime at ten to twelve twice:) Ahh memories:)
just totally sick, unbelievable
Beautiful
Solid Doggone Style Dudes!!! 2.44 epicability - sharing is caring ,these images tell the story of dreams
Superb video. The music is amazing, anyone know what it is please? I've Shazamed it repeatedly but "no result"
This is liquid poetry
That's one gorgeous wave. I'd love to be there just to witness it closer from a boat or jetski. Even then I'd probably shit myself!
Bruce Irons nearly lost his life on that 15'er on nates board. 2 wave holddown nearly 3 that would've killed him. It looks beautiful but it's so heavy and thick. Cloudbreak I surfed it in 1994, it's very hard to read the closeouts look like good ones so it's so hard to choose the right wave
Cloudbreak amazing
Such a nice wave
that's perfection to me
2:45 I have never seen a perfect wave so huge in any video before.
I probably couldn't make the drop but just to ride a wave like that...wow!
No one died that day i hope Wow fantastic epic waves and surfing once in a lifetime!
That Black Mamba line hit different. RIP Kobe.
This redefines the term "epic".
Amazing left break. Perfect for us goofy footers.
What if i told you its actually a right break but the camera flips it 😯
Yeeeewww Tanner. Represent SC!
Was that a Tim Bonythan production?
No it didnt have the wank ballsack watermark
🤣
LMAO
😂
Calvin Tobias u legend
How do you judge the feet off a wave ?
Such a good day
Epic swell. Please make your way to HAWAII!!!!
It's about to. This same swell is hitting Hawaii this week and California not long afterwards.
Lucky guys in the most perfect day ever!
@2:47 - now that is a drop - holy crap The whole day would have been like dying and going to heaven (until the lip hits you).
Healy is a monster!
kohls wave was mental
amazing! who made the soundtrack..?
2:43 Holy Cr_p....Ok, That's heavy
slow motion takes all the feel out of it. that's what photos are for
Who produced this?
Is that Walton Goggins @3:20?
Insane
Would you agree when you drop into waves like this, they become easier to ride? It is like a personal experience between you and the wave. I've only experienced it once in my life and it felt as if I were experiencing the apitimy of what riding waves is all about.
Epitome
Sickk
Who produced this tho?
@2:10 is the definition of being swalloed by a wave, props to Dane though
This was 7 years ago?
Should Try NEW CALEDONIA !!!
This kinda looks like teahupoo in a way but the waves are insanely perfect there
perfects waves....
That f****** way was so huge I don't think anybody except some young eccentric surfer could ride these waves the Dynamics are so intense who's picking me up where's the medical where the medical! Not in Fiji! Good Day Sunshine
who produced this film? just wondering
can there be a better shaped big wave anywhere on the planet?
''Wet dreams really can come true if you let them. . .''
Historic
Wow, I didn’t know the ocean could do that.
Where was the phone call ....?
So deep
That is what an extra long pipeline would be like ? Looks like cloudbreak is a bit deeper ? But pipe is so shallow!! Anybody who knows these breaks ...please comment...I'm interested in the comparisons.
The surf was gangbusters...
If any of u guys showed up late and got It windy,then u have to live with the early morning video grilled into ur mind forever!!
Ok this is gonna sound a little crazy, but has any ever surfed with aliens?
Hottest known wave on our planet.
Surfed cloudbreak twice. Absolutely gangbusters! Stayed at seashell cove. Took the boat out. One of the most epic waves I’ve ever surfed, on par with Hickory bay in NZ. First time I surfed cloudbreak was on a foreign board, my board ended up in Hawaii due to a an airline mix up.
One of these waves ripped a watch right off my arm. And the sea mites nip at you! And the sunburn!
2:39 We have a contender for Dismount of the Year.
Like a kid waiting for Christmas
who was this produced by?
Lol
to any other editers out there, enough with the slomo already. but seriously i got a pit twice as big and deep and long, epic underground wave, i call it pillow point, then i usually wake up
Get in touch with Mouther Nature
Hard to imagine a left tube better than Pipeline
Wow
The ocean is no joke either
02:42. Wow
That’s like, the Eighth Wonder of the World right there.
Cloudbreak is !

Super hello Bula
