Professional surfer Tom Dosland was caught on camera during a scary freefall from a huge wave in Maui, Hawaii, on January 27. Dosland described the incident to Surfer Magazine later, saying that striking the face of the wave was "a brutal beating, like I was in a car crash." Thankfully, Dosland emerged unscathed, but his board was completely destroyed. Video credit: Facebook/Bruno Lemos Watch More Crazy Videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list...

Still worth it

more like 20 feet.
unless the wave is 80 feet.

People commenting about the actual distance of the fall on a Jaws wave, ignoring the fact that HUNDREDS of TONS of violently moving water come crushing down on him from what looks like a forty-foot wave... and tumble him like a rag doll (that's the brutal beating part, not the fall)..keep in mind: "When looking at an average big wave, each cubic meter of water weighs about 1 ton. If the wave is about 10 ft tall and the lip (top) of the wave is about 20 ft long, the wave itself weighs about 410 tons, which is equal to about 315 small cars." Now, consider the hydraulic force of these Jaws monsters...

Groin pull at 0:13.

When your legs don't work like they used to before

Kelei Taylor - 8 years ago

Definitely not 40 feet. Good thing he didn't have his leash on.

Billy Hughes - 7 years ago

+Kelei Taylor Yeah, not quite 40 but he did have his leash on. If you look closely you can see it stretch all the way out. Crazy wipeout though.

Serkan Ozer - 8 years ago

surf is just non sense and extremely danger spor(!) I hope he is okay and not do this again

milkmandan77 - 8 years ago

+Serkan Ozer No it's not. It's the ultimate rush. NOTHING comes close to it. Not even sex.

Love these armchair comments!

The force of these waves can push the surfer down to 50 feet below the surface that can burst eardrums or actually kill these surfers that been trained to escape these monster waves. There have been a number of professional surfers that have died in these large waves.

Nature needs respect and only fools underestimate it's force!

20 FEET AT MOST. I love how people exaggerate height when him drowning is the biggest fear to be worried about.

hektik1984 - 7 years ago

+theblazer lol, you can't be serious.

theblazer - 8 years ago

+Chris Hansen how can he drown? just swim back up dumbass

w m - 8 years ago

+fla playa Haters like you make me stronger.

fla playa - 8 years ago

+Chris Hansen Just got access to your local homeless shelters computer again after these 3 mysterious days that you "Chris Hansen" were strangely absent? I totally forgot about you. The wave was 40 feet. Now go cry for another 3 days before your library lets you type more fucked up comments on YouTube :)

w m - 8 years ago

+fla playa I would love for you to come here and try to lay a finger on me..... You're nothing but a bitch and I can see right through you. lol fucking moron.

fla playa - 8 years ago

+Chris Hansen Did you just gain access to your local libraries computer in Ghana by any chance? It was a 40 foot wave and the mother fucker had to eat every last inch of it. Stop being "one of those guys".

w m - 8 years ago

Trival? Its in the title of the video you fucking idiot.

fla playa - 8 years ago

It was a 40 ft wave. I Love how people always question and beat up on everything and dislike videos over minuscule trivial crap.

Michael Aspinwall - 8 years ago

you have to assume he is 5-6 feet with that calculation he falls about 4 body lengths, so more like a 25 foot fall

ceb1970 - 8 years ago

Really massive fall. Seems a bit less than 40 feet though.
