The guy walking in the pool moving the weight around and sculling with one hand is wasting a lot of engery. Simply let the weight hold you down and walk/lean forward.

San Ansa - 5 years ago

excellent idea to do training for being held down. I think white water kayakers need to do more simulated training, in addition to just being able to know how to brace and roll, and relying on partners to save them. I just saw a video where a kayaker got sucked under a big rock, it was scary watching him almost drown with his partners right next to him on shore with the throw ropes.

Kinda related to the video but not really. So I was with another family, we were at a beach with big waves. We were jumping them having loads of fun, we were quite out deep but still touching the ground. Then a bigger wave came and crashed onto me. I got pulled under current and I think I was under for like 3 seconds but it felt way longer and I was a little scarred (I was 11)

prankman49 - 6 years ago

So you grab hold of a rock, run across the bottom , till you run out of breath. Go back up to the surface, but get pushed back down by a huge wave, and die.

Brannon Glenn - 5 years ago

You have the right idea. In a bad wipe out the force of the wave can force the surfer very deep. A terrifying sight is called tombstoning. This is when a part of the surfboard sticks straight up out of the water. Surfboards are amazingly buoyant and they only thing that causes this scary sight is that the surfer is so far under water that they are pulling their leash and board tight straight down. Big wave riders typically ride a board around 10' long with a 20" leash. This means that when you see a tombstoned surfboard, there is a surfer attached to the other end who is 30 feet underwater.

Kai Maddog - 6 years ago

One time I went to the beach when I was 3 with my BESTFRIEND and she stayed on the beach when I went realllllllllly far out and almost drowned but I was a realllly good swimmer so I swam back then a wave pushed me to shore and then a wave pushed me underwater (At that time a couldn’t breathe underwater but I can now breathe underwater for some reason but anyway, after the wave pushed me under my bestfriends mom saved me!

Stack a bunch of 10 lb. bricks at the deep end... then from the shallow end SPRINT swimming on the surface ONLY for the first half, then diving downward to retrieve ONE brick at a time, bringing it back to the mid-point before surfacing, and hauling it to deposit on the end of the shallow end of the pool. REPEAT until you've done that will ALL the bricks (3 will get you going, 6 will wear your ass OUT).

Youko Ana - 6 years ago

To the pepole who keep asking "what if there's no rocks?" It dost really matter because if you fall off a big wave unless you got some kind of superhuman ability the wave will pick you up and toss you around before you can do shit. And if you extra lucky when its done tossing you, before you can do anything ,you'll be hit by a second wave and the cycle will repeat itself. so no, the purpose of a rock is to help simulate what being held down by a wave is like and by held down i mean being tossed around with no control whatsoever of whats going on and no way to get to the surface for air . It helps surfers get more comfterble for being without air in deep water for longer periods of time so they don't die. the rocks purpose to surfers is similar to a sled for a track runner. your not gonna run with the dam thing attached to you on the day of a race

So basically you go into relax mode and wait to surface... is that it. In kayaking they say pull you knees into your chest in wave. Perhaps in ocean wave you spread eagle. Key might be entry when falling, diving and swimming away from curl.. out to ocean, not shore.

I wonder if this kind of training poses potential threats in the future for brain diseases. It can’t be healthy to constantly train your body/mind to cope with being completely desperate for oxygen.

haha - 6 years ago

better then drowning to death

E to the V - 6 years ago

Maxwell Eddy I'm not completly sure but I think there has been a study conducted with freedivers who held their breaths regularly over years, and they showed no signs of brain damage. After all, you already feel the strong urge to breath if your oxygen levels go below 95 %
Once you go below ~55%, you black out and your automatic body functions take over breathing again. 55% oxygen is plenty enough I would think, to keep the brain running without any damage. This way the body makes sure that you pass out before you reach a dangerous level.

What if you lose the rock midway and then it hits your head along the wave?

Alexander Ellis - 6 years ago

sash A you dont pick up rocks....they hold on to rocks during training to simulate being held down by a wave.

IAMDIMITRI - 6 years ago

Please don't do training like this alone. This is really stupid and dangerous!!! If you want to develop muscles then do it on the surface. If you want to practice holding breath then do it on the surface. When you feel like you are out of breath it does not mean you are out of oxygen! This surfer on the video did proper training and safety with big crew and a professional free diver. They did proper breathing and re breathing techniques as required when you are free diving. Fucking retarded video will make stupid surf kids run with a rock under water and die.

You come up, after crash or whatever to SWEET AIR(maybe you've also been dumping what you HAD)....To find: you are now - IN - a wave, basically identical to the one you were(HA-ha to you)finishing or finished(from Finland?)with. Yeah, That's Right.....How's your air NOW....Well you better HOLD THAT SHIT!

I am currently Falling off a building, hello! - 6 years ago

+OvenCake the commentator said grab the rock and run. Probably because you can run on the seas surface faster when your holding a heavy object as it stops you from floating upwards which each step you take.

CARGO - 6 years ago

What do you mean what if there's no rock?

As far as I understood, the rock exercise was only used to train and simulate getting trapped under the surface. You wouldn't go looking for rocks at the bottom of the ocean if you're in the process of dying lmao

what scares you more? heights or underwater breath holding for awhile? like if its water and reply what you're more afraid of. personally mine is heights as i can hold my breath really well but my palms get sweaty and i start to get extremely scared when im in a tall building or looking at a tall building, and watching parkour rooftop escape vids doesnt help either xD

Slapfacegamer - 5 years ago

PuffihnOW dude I lowkey sometimes want to jump off bridges or buildings and it’s not because I wanna kill myself but because falling from such a height just seems so cool to me. Idk how people are afraid of heights.

Simply Sookie - 6 years ago

Sleeping Lion i'd choose a double wave hold down over slipping and falling off a flat building

Simply Sookie - 6 years ago

PuffihnOW heights. I'd rather have traumatizing whipe out than a traumatizing fall. Can't even handle roller coasters

Big Smonk - 6 years ago

PuffihnOW i would say heights, but for holding onto your breath for a while underwater it really depends on how deep I'm going to go

Bianca Pilichi - 6 years ago

The sea. I'm a freediver and I practise quite a lot of water sports (windsurf, bodyboard and so on) so I can swim and hold my breath pretty well, but I'm still scared of it. And also fatalist. If I'm gonna die, then I'll die doing what I love most

Maxim-James Quick - 6 years ago

For me it's Darude - Sandstorm. Scares me shitless

Sleeping Lion - 6 years ago

It depends. Heights, you have a little control over your fate. Your the one who determines if you slip and fall off the rooftop. With waves, the ocean is the boss. If it is gonna drown you, it's gonna drown you.

Ev - 6 years ago

Jake the dog you’re looking into it way too much. Enjoy the journey of life, don’t think too much about the destination. Finding the love of your life, spending your life with that significant other, creating a family, teaching your children the way of life with the experience you’ve gathered as a human. Using that experience to guide your children into a better life, without the mistakes you made. Growing old together with your lover and experiencing beautiful moments in life is what makes it so meaningful. You’re looking at it in a very negative view, but I understand that it’s because you’re still young. You, especially, at the age of 15 or whatever, have to live life by the moment. You have minimal responsibilities at this point in life, once you get older you will have more responsibilities and look at life in a very different way. Be positive, surround yourself with positive people and don’t be upset if life isn’t going your way at the moment. Things WILL get better, trust me, I’m talking from experience. Life is too beautiful to give up before it even starts. You have a lot of stuff to experience, don’t waste your only chance at doing it.
