SURFERS ARE NOT KNOWN FOR THEIR INTELLIGENCE BUT INSTEAD THE OPPOSITE IS TRUE. THEY SEE LIFE THROUGH A HAZE OF POT SMOKE, AND PUT A THRILL OVER THEIR OWN PERSONAL SAFETY, THEY ARE USUALLY THE FIRST ONES IN THE WATER AFTER A SHARK HAS BEEN SPOTTED. THEY HAVE BEEN TOLD A HUNDRED TIMES THAT THEY LOOK LIKE A SEAL IN THAT BLACK WET SUIT BUT STILL PADDLE AROUND LOOKING LIKE A WHITE SHARKS SNACK.

MANY SURFERS DO NOT WORK A REAL JOB OR HAVE A VERY SUCCESSFUL LIFE IN THE REAL WORLD. THEY MIGHT WORK A JOB AS A CABANA BOY AT A BEACH RESORT , OR A ROACH COACH ON THE BEACH THAT SERVES BURGERS AND FRIES, WORKING MAYBE 4 DAYS A WEEK, IF THAT, AND WORK ABOUT 5 HOURS A DAY, IF THAT. MANY OF THEM STILL LIVE AT HOME WITH THEIR MAMA IN THE BASEMENT OR LIVE WITH ABOUT 10 OTHER SURFERS, OR DEAD BEAT POETS AS I CALL THEM. IN A HOUSE THAT SHOULD HAVE NO MORE THAN 3 PPL.

THESE PPL ARE THE LAZIEST ON THE PLANET, AND I WOULD NOT GIVE 2 FUCKS FOR ONE IF A SHARK SWAM UP AND BIT THEM, I WILL STICK TO MY 9 IRON ON THE GOLF COURSE AND WONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY SHARKS.CAUSE I DONT GO IN THE WATER, THANK YOU VERY MUCH..........................................................................................................................

How can this video have so many likes? The video was nonsense and only about 10 seconds had anything to do with the title. There's no formula for how much "a big wave" weighs. You kept showing cyclops, one of the heaviest waves known that will actually barrel. Something like that, or chopes will be way heavier than something like pipeline.

Sitting at the edge of the beach the other day, a 3-4 ft wave came in, caught me off-guard and somersaulted me, bent my knee sideways a little. it was fun. I was limping for three days. 3 to 4 feet on the shore. It's on video! Action-Packed!

taven willard - 8 years ago

to Silkaz7 a big wave doesn't half to pound you, with a nice undertow it just rolls over you...continuously until you break the surface...or breath water. The board your strapped to, can catch more resistance than your body and can hold you at a certain depth. The ocean will get you long before a shark. That's how it works at jaws.

taven willard - 8 years ago

colder water is heavier molecules closer...packed!

Niya Lynch - 8 years ago

I never knew waves could do that much of a damage to the human body?!

Silkaz7 - 8 years ago

I don't doubt the wave weights that much but with my experience as a amateur surfer a big wave crashing on top of your head doesn't feel like tons of water, i assume that it's because water is a fluid and not a solid object, so in reality that wave falling on top of you won't kill you, what might kill you is the reef or rocks under the water. Would love for someone knowledgeable to explain the science of this.

FanArt Zone - 6 years ago

that just shows u r a fuckin amateur noob, 10m and bigger waves weight TONS , its like getting hit by a concreat. go and try surfing on at least 5 meter waves u fuckin noob and stop sharing your lame opinions that 10 meter waves dont weight tons lol . fuckin moron.

Vicky Vonstein - 6 years ago

KP - 7 years ago

Try barefooting. Sure, you shouldn't be topping the boat out but hit 75kmh for shits and giggles on a glassy river and wait till you catch a toe. I defy anyone headbutting the water at that speed to claim "it doesn't hurt"!

Silkaz7 - 8 years ago

+MsMsmak Sounds reasonable, i never thought about it that way, thanks for the reply =)

MsMsmak - 8 years ago

+Silkaz7 I think that this vid is a bit misleading. In order for that water to have the force that they claim, ALL of water would have to fall at one time (instantly) on the same point, and it does neither. Its fall is spread out along the surf line, and only a tiny fraction is directly loaded on to the surfer. In addition, while it seems that its all falling at once, it's actually a stream of water. It might push the surfer under, but at no point does it crush him under the weight of 300 small cars.

John B. - 8 years ago

+Silkaz7 I surfed Teahupoo a couple times in 2010. Just recently again. Teahupoo means "cracked skull" or " skull crack". Like you said its only because of the reef. I hit the reef hard and light. I fell down and did a wash cycle inside a massive barrel. I would whole heartingly say i would rather fall into that barrel then hit the reef again. Scars and scars

Metrica - 8 years ago

+Silkaz7 with waves like these its mostly the flush that can kill you

Silkaz7 - 8 years ago

+Moogs Watto True i haven't surfed those waves, biggest i've surfed is Puerto Escondido and Todos Santos, Still the things that kill and harm are the rocks and reef under the water, not the weight of the wave itself.

Harris Watson - 8 years ago

I don't think you surfed waves like Mavericks and pipeline

ARYA DHARMA - 8 years ago

Makes perfect sense. Water falling on you is in many ways no different than you falling into water. Anyone who has dived off a bridge or a high dive knows that hitting water isn't so bad. It's what happens under the water that's dangerous. Being held down and scraping the reef is the real danger.

can someone mathematic here find out how heavy a six foot wave is for me please I'm really curious

Maya Karl - 7 years ago

oh well i just learnt something new today thanks

adam bamf - 7 years ago

we are counting the whole wave not just the lip so in those terms even like a waist high wave can weigh shit loads a 5 meter section waist high is 5000 kg pretty cool in terms of natural power and its no thing for the ocean to throw those out

Maya Karl - 7 years ago

those answers are all wrong.... it depends sometimes a 6ft wave can be super lay back others can be heavy

adam bamf - 8 years ago

1m2 of water is 1 ton

MetalheadSurfer - 9 years ago

+ReadySetVlog I learnt how to surf in six foot waves and had no problem, weighs alot but is easy to handle

Georgiy Potulov - 9 years ago

At a depths of 5 or more meter? Is he sure he has his math right? It would be more like 3 meters on a 30 foot wave.

Kevin Vesey - 10 years ago

the whole measurement of the weight of the water a tad daft (and the weight 1 cubic meter of seawater can vary quite a lot due to saline levels.), also are not going to have all that section coming down on your head since its a liquid the only relevant part is the actual water that would hit you on the head, Then mixing Imperial and metric measurements is just fucking dumb, they wanted to make is sound more dramatic than it is, but them chargers are still all nuts and i have great respect for em.

hussong - 6 years ago

It also doesn't make sense to factor the groundspeed of the wave into the impact force, since the surfer is moving with the wave over ground.

I mean the whole angle of the clip is the power of big waves in relation to surfers, not lighthouses.

Vicky Vonstein - 6 years ago

YOU WOULDNT KNOW YOUR ARSE FROM YOUR ELBOW KEV

Balker - 7 years ago

yeah it is daft but the measurements were conservative. Water alone weighs roughly a tonne per cubic meter and salt water always weighs more than that.

fnog9 - 10 years ago

2:14 those types of waves scare me. the ones with a lot of forward momentum and a long, continuous break. i find that getting caught in one of those makes drowning more likely than waves that expel most of their energy on the initial break. all big waves will break you in half though.

CryptoCurrency Line - 10 years ago

I call bull shit on the lip weighing 400 tons... If you see what 400 tons looks like it doesn't add up to the size of that lip.
You're talking about 30+ full sized african elephants lined up back to back, and the size would take up waaaaaay more than just that lip.

Kane Campbell - 9 years ago

400 tonnes is 400 tonnes, but the laminar flow of the water will allow it to not crush you like a 400 tonne solid object. It's quite misleading in how they present the volume of water in relation to it impacting the surfer. Yeah it will fuck you up but not the same as a 400 tonne solid object.

Matthew Scott - 10 years ago

+deadboy600 are you talking to me?

Matthew Scott - 10 years ago

+Eliot Vivian yea my bad. I was half asleep when I was writing that. I was thinking of thick engine oil which is why I got mixed up. Anyway. Have a good day.

Matthew Scott - 10 years ago

Have you ever heard density? lets say, you have a cup of water and you weighed it. Then you get a cup of oil and weigh that. The cup of oil would weigh more because it is more dense even though it occupies the same space. The maths does add up.

Tory Knoepfel - 10 years ago

Marc Cawood - 10 years ago

A lot of bad physics here.

TSIXGaming - 5 years ago

+Alex Betten the weight of a cubic meter of water wouldn't apply in the same way cuz the lip doesn't appear to be 1 meter thick where it lands and once the water breaks it becomes super aerated and wouldn't be as dense as cubic meters of still water and a 20 meter cross section wouldn't be relevant and stuff like that

adam bamf - 10 years ago

+Marc Cawood that wave would knock the wind out of any mans lungs

AngryGaper - 10 years ago

+Marc Cawood It said "burst eardrums" which takes much less pressure.

Marc Cawood - 10 years ago

+Alex Betten All respect to the surfers, it sure is dangerous but the physics is pseudo. You can't arbitrarily use the weight of a 20m section of wave - the surfer is only hit by a fraction of that. 70km/h free fall - guesstimate. Bursting lungs? It may feel that way but lungs don't burst in these situations.

Water is heavy. One gallon weighs 8.33 pounds. I've had to carry 5 gallon jugs up 4 flights on US Navy ship. That's over 41 pounds. I can't imagine all that ocean water surrounding me.

Jimmy Mak - 11 years ago

haha thats how i feel in 4ft waves sometimes. This is beyond comprehension until you get held down for a minute, dragged across the reef or slammed into the bank and then try to figure out whats hurt and most importantly which way is up. When you add half a million tonnes of weight, being 20% more bouyant because you are in salt water...haha yeh that makes absolutley no difference in massive swell. They would be wearing at least 4.3 wettys that would help alot though.Dont relax though, swim.

Tutschel - 11 years ago

Not at all. 1 cubic metre is 1000 litres and since 1 liter = 1kg, that gives a ton. Every ten metres you descent under water adds 1 atmosphere of pressure (1 bar).

Pedro Strom - 11 years ago

somehow that sounds a litte too much ! ! cubic meter = to 1 ton !!! HUMM!

Alexandra Reynaga - 11 years ago

Anasazi1 - 11 years ago

Not taken into consideration on this scientific analysis is the human body is approximately 70-80% water and therefore lighter and more buoyant in the surf. It's still a load of water coming down on you but just have to let your body rise to the surface when falling off the board and staying cool, calm and relaxed in what feels like a washing machine.
