"Code Red" Full Movie - Surfing Goes Huge At Teahupoo Tahiti
On August 27, 2011, the Billabong Pro Tahiti event on surfing's World Tour was placed on hold due to a massive swell bearing down on the famed big-wave spot, Teahupoo. With forecasts calling for unprecedented surf, some of the greatest surfers in the world descended on the island to be in the water, despite a "Code Red" called by the Tahitian Coast Guard, which sought to keep everyone on shore. See the historic day through the eyes of two surfers -- the young gun Laurie Towner and the veteran Dylan Longbottom -- as they catch some of the biggest, most dangerous surf ever recorded, much of it captured with the super slow motion Phantom Camera for never-before-seen imagery.

I did Teahupoo when I was 23 (last year). It was 7 -8. My scars recently have fully healed. I tried, succeeded 2 or 3 barrels, failed the rest(15 failed attempts). Never again. Well, maybe one more time.
Well if you can do it at all that's cool. I'm sure Laird Hamilton would be proud. What I can't figure out is how so much tonnage of water can be ripped off that shallow reef. It seems to defy gravity. Definetly E=mc2
@@craigroberts1670 the water comes from what is behind the reef
Knarly mate
I imagine paddling in makes this wave much more difficult even if the size is smaller.
@@craigroberts1670 Force equala mass times gravity squared!! Einstein was wrong
never get tired of watching this
I wish they had one sequence with no music. I wanna hear what this cannon of a wave really sounds like.
Jeremy Simmons yep!- All surfclips always r with music ...unfortunately.....🐬
Type in Jaws Raw u get some without music and slowmo
not to mention that the music is awful !
Bit of microphone blowout, but still the best raw vid I've seen. I bought the High Resolution version, so that's the best. kzhead.info/sun/ZryIhKd5b4emmI0/bejne.html
dude exactly, nobody wants to hear music anymore, we want waves, thats why we're here!
For me that's a "Code Brown"
lol...
Hahaha
Yea right,bet you can't even get out.
Lol! Excellent!
i'd have pooped my pants too!!!
I have never been so stressed watching a sport.--but I couldn't stop watching it. These guys are almost super human!
Wow. Those are the most incredible waves I've ever seen. You can feel the power and the fury right through the screen. Hats off to anyone who has the balls to surf one of them.
such fools die and going to hell on judgement day dying in your sins accomplished nothing for God's kingdom either. just vanity
These waves are darker and meaner than anything in the world - The utter volume of water pouring over in the lip is totally unmatched. Kudos for charging it - glad nobody died
Check out mullaghmore in lreland, that wave has all the characteristics of this one and then some.
@@badgerbush3556 not even remotely close. Mullaghmore is big there is no doubt, but nothing can compete with the sheer size and volume of water at Teahupoo
Best footage I've ever seen.
9:37 =O Now that's a big wave
Rip surfer
I am completely amazed by this film. I think it should win the best short documentary at the Oscars, seriously! The cinematography is amazing. I would be freaking out just to be out in the water with those monster waves, let alone ride them. The guys who went for it that day are incredibly brave.
back again, I absolutely love this vid
The song is called "Wandering Star" by The Laurels.
It shouldn't be droaning on in the background
What's the song at 6:05? Cheers
@@rabelaqua6889 Black Cathedral, also by The Laurels.
Incredible footage. Scary and dreamlike waves captured in super slowmo. One of the best if not THE best surf vids I have ever seen.
This is the best surf video I have seen.The sound effects,the slow motion sections and the whole filmography was perfect.Great work from Billabong
True!
such fools die and going to hell on judgement day dying in your sins accomplished nothing for God's kingdom either. just vanity
Teahupoo has been going off the past few days with the world's best big wave chargers scoring a few of the best rides of their lives! None of this would have been possible without the game changing CODE RED swell of 2011 that saw some of the craziest waves ever ridden at the famous reef.
FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAKE, dude come on really? This shit isn't even real.
mark carey If this is real, then how does it happen? Go get a bowl, put water in it, do giant waves emerge? No? That's because it's not real.
HeavySabre70 Why would I do reading on something that's fake?
Lungwabo I like my finger where it is, thank you!... and how would I know it was fake in the first place without watching the film? Trust me though, I didn't watch this CGI a second time. XD lol water doesn't move by itself buddy. It's called "science."
Orange Rodriguez You are either an obvious troll, or extremely fucking stupid. I think you might just be a mixture of both.
Truly astonishing Mad respect for all the surfers out there living their life to fullest. Makes me envious.
such fools die and going to hell on judgement day dying in your sins accomplished nothing for God's kingdom either. just vanity
Always come back to this video. Nothing else like it!!
These guys put their life on the line for their one true love . . . surfing! We should feel honored and privileged they allowed us to share this with them, if only via video! If you don't understand that, you don't surf. If you don't surf you'll never understand!
these waves are insane!!!! I want to learn to surf so bad!! adding to my bucket list everyday
And have you learned surfing? 🌊🏄♂️
One of the best videos of surfing and the waves I've ever seen.
Unreal, crazy waves. Great surfing. And absolutely beautiful footage. Super stoked to watch it. Thanks for the upload.
13:10 "It's pretty much the best feeling in the world..." It's because you all survived. The fine line between death and cheating death in any endeavor will give you the greatest feeling of satisfaction - and the highest level of adrenaline. Once you have achieved what you believe is the highest possible level of adrenaline in your endeavor, it is triumphant and satisfying. If you can accept it as your pinnacle moment, you will live a long life. If you try to top it, it is gambling. Amazing vid.
Heaviest, strongest. most powerful force on the face of this planet... RESPECT!!!
I think your talking about gravity....you know gravity the force that actually causes the waves lol
Stoked! Thanks.
I don't know how to surf but I love it. When nature and the best surfers come together ... pure poetry
haha same here
Hey Network ...how about posting the music titles here. It's only fair they get kudos. Thx ... great vid!
Many surfers are also weather experts!
my favorite video-report !
This is the best wave and surfer images I’ve ever seen.
dude, the wave from 9:36 - 9:58 is way way way too gigantic.
Why always the same camera angle, and same framing? After awhile it would be nice to see more of the place. On another note why edit it so we only see the last 2 secs of the ride, again, it would be nice to see the tow-in approach.
its not a movie set
heh yeah but you could put cameras onshore and show us more of a wider picture! I appreciate your comment Daniel Robinson. But my motive is that i want to see the location in its entirety as if i would be standing there on the beach or from another vantage point. The place is amazing and it would be great to see those sets rolling in from way out and how the water moves oveer the reef and inside channels etc.
Kiwifix It's not that they don't really want to show the other angles, it's more just that the swell for this particular storm made it hard to see everything from the beach because the wave breaks so far from shore. The best angles, and really the best way to showcase the wave, are from the channel where you see all this footage. You could the full look at the height, power, and really everything important about the wave. I'm sure if there was really good footage from the beach they would have used it. I just doubt with a swell like this and the footage you could get from the channel there'd be any point in filming from the beach.
Because the shots are taken from the channel. The wave breaks too hard for a surf photog to be underwater. He would get killed, literally, on a cleanup set. I guess also this was 2011 there werent so many drones around. But even today I don't think a drone could hang above the breaking wave, the draft alone must gust over 25 knots
And many waves are from other Videos...............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That slowmo of the sufer coming from the white water was an awesome edit. Great filling edits with the video. It's award winning truly. Awesome waves.
beautiful...
First time seeing the reef from above...looks very, very shallow.
It's only 6ft deep
7:52 The gathering darkness.
stunning! thank you for sharing
To Gordo, Steve Lyons, Paul Daniel, Kendall O'Brien, Jay Grant, Asher King, Sandy Stevenson, Mark Roberts and Dwayne Fetch: the photography is absolutely amazing! Keep up the good work.
Woow this is awesome! Reminds me of Praia do Norte in Nazaré. Huge waves : )
Artist: The Laurels Songs: Wandering Star Black Cathedral - Song At 6:00 Turn On Your Mind
RonsonJonson198 cheers man
just being in the channel is a treat to watch!!!
Some beautiful stuff, well done!
So sick
cool BRO
I've bodyboarded 4 Foot waves before but this.I would DIE.
i'm thankfull for waves like this because its awesome
I live in teahupoo and i love to go surf in TEAHUPOO🔥🔥🔥 , Good video and good job
Maybe Next Life
Jim Ronsivalli 😆😆😆
I have probably seen this 25 times! Fackin Epic!
Also the music is awesome 💥
Dylan a gentleman and a Legend good stuff man.
THE BEST MOVIE ON KZhead. EXTRAORDINARY.
Some of these wave faces are like 30 ft. That's a heavy wave too. I've surfed 10-12ft+ hurricane swell (no, not during) here on the east coast U.S and thought I might drown...these guys are brave.
What part of the east?
David Beckham I live in Virginia Beach but when it's good I'll go down to Hatteras, NC (OBX).
msullivan85 How did I know?! ^^
Granted you surf sand bar breaks. That can be a rougher fall compared to a reef break of equal size. A 12 footer in jersey is gona hold you down longer than hawaii
Craziest waves ive ever seen in my life!!!!!!!!!!!! I've never been surfing before but it inspires me and I want to do it so bad, but I live no where near a beach :(
zoe keib and your a girl
you absolutely must travel...after you learn. These guys do this for a living!(their trips are paid for them by the sponsors.)
There have been quite a few deaths at Teahupoo.
P.N.F and what if shes a girl?
just give up
This is the most awesome thing i have ever seen. The majestic Ocean and the men who are willing to put there lives on the line for the thrill of Riding these monsters and getting the barrel of there lives. Thank you for having the guts to bring this once in a lifetime event to us who respect you so much and the photographers who were there.
Great flick. Superb interviews.
Surfing is one of the most badass things.
"Black Diamond"
Just incredible.....all your fears and dreams in one place.....thank you guys......thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The best shots are those copter shots. Can not get enough of them!
THE LAURELS - BLACK CATHEDRAL
Hey!! Do you nome the name of the song that starts at 1.20?? :)
The Laurels - Wandering Star ;)
What every shoulder-high wave looked like as a kid:
Blows my mind.
amazing amazing amazing Thanks for sharing this
This wave looks so evil!
Could somebody please explain what happens when you wipe-out here, in these conditions, I mean surely you must get driven into the reef?
you can get drove in the coral reef and then picked back up and throwing like one guy who wiped out was found 500 meter away with allot of cuts and bruises but not broken bones but they did find shards of coral reef sticking out if his helmet he had no idea how lucky he was
"when the waves break here,..dont be there!"
When u surf a wave like this you inflate your best before you get towed in
tu frappes le récif a une vitesse folle, a plusieurs reprise, et tu te fais emporter dans les profondeurs pour ensuite subir une series de vague massive
Those waves are art. Beautiful nature.
Holy hell those are some serious waves right there.
How do they fit there giant balls in there wetsuit?
One at a time. Just like the everyone else
The wipeouts gave me anxiety attack
Those waves were insane! Sick video!
Amazing man...
Bros, google the truthcontest. I´m serious.
Nope.
Yeah, I decided not to as well. I'm a bit teddy tired.
For what! Clickbait
If you die doing what you love without knowing Christ, you're goin' to Hell, mate.
k
Gods fake.
***** You need to get real man. Warning the world of the reality of Hell is not terrorism by threatening torture and pain in order to get my way. Get real. I don't want my way, I want you to be saved from the eternal consequences of your great many sins against God. You should stop throwing around serious words like "terrorist" when you're referring to a worldview like Christianity, especially if you come from a country that has been founded on such a faith. Stop accusing peaceful followers of the Lord & Savior Jesus Christ of "threatening" when I have no power to punish for sins, and if you want to continue in your sins down the wide road of perdition, that's your choice--go right ahead; but, my eyes have been opened by being born-again spiritually and I know that what God tells us in the Holy Bible is True, and, like God, I don't want anyone to perish and go to Hell. Do not equivocate this with a worldview like radical Islam that will try to force you by the sword to believe in Allah or else kill you.
***** Your claim that God is not real implies that you have all knowledge and therefore know this is the truth. That is ignorant arrogance. Which is also what your understanding of Christianity and Islam is. You can say all of these things all you want but it will never make them true. Pride comes before destruction.
David Moreira You hypocrite. You judge me judgmental for judging while you judge me. And you're the one name calling. And I don't feel guilty, you're the one who needs to feel guilty or you will perish in your sins.
the slo-mo at :40 looks like something from Star Wars. the Nature is awesome and surfing that beast must be unreal...
Just awesome edit and video.
Amazing footage ! Heavy waves the lips pretty awesome and courageous surfers WONDERFUL
The waves are crazy...oh my g...i havent seen a huge waves as this...this is cool at the same time scary...
We have all seen big waves but this one in particular is exceptional because of the very very heavy lip. It looks like six feet thick minimum!! I cant imagine that slamming me to the bottom onto a sharp coral reef!! It looks very shallow there too. Geez!! Much respect guys, incredible video!!!
Best video ever!!!!!!!!!!
thanks man!
That's some sick surfing! Huge pipes and swells! All surfers should love this video!
WOW, intense!! I only hope to be able to catch some decent footage when I go next year. Sweet ride guys, I could watch this all day!
This such a sick vid :D
Finally some overhead shots of this beast. Been watchin the other vids for yrs', wonderin if the even had access to a chopper down there. good shit! Looks like the reef if on a few feet down. Crazy
