The Best (As in Worst) Surfing Wipeouts of 2016
Surf 7 years ago 889,950 views
Wipeouts never get old. Performance surfing grows by leaps and bounds every year, but eating shit has essentially remained the same for decades. But we never, ever tire of watching it and hearing the stories behind it. Because, and here's the thing: surfers are generally horrible when it comes to talking about their own surfing. But they are amazing when recounting almost dying. Not sure why, but it's true. Greatest Wipeouts is a Surfline original series showcasing death-defying surfing wipeouts, near-death experiences and heaviest waves of all time.

Help me
Guess you don't have to choose... You could drown in a huge wave; then get eaten by a shark.
So, as Towelie once said, "I choose... both!"
I'll pick the wave.
* Ben poops his pants in fear of a three foot wave
mavericks was beaking 'em off this time. on top of it's size and rocks, it's hella cold there!
Would love to see you get wiped out face to face ya kook
Horrifying.
It happens really fast
2 if you tumble on top lf the wave after a wipe out you do not know when to take a breath as you are disoriented
3. You are scared your board will come back and hit you and sometimes ot does
4. These pro surfers have swam there whole life which is longer than you and they are more physically fit than most people but still some of them die out there
5. Waves of these sizes are unpredictable and don't always bring you back up to the top of the surface
Yeah I admit if I KNEW i wasn't gonna die that would be fun af but most likely I would die and so would you unless you have surfed your whole life which you failed to mention
"Try sprinting 10M then hold your breath for 3 minutes while getting hit by a car. Then just die."
It's all about pussy. That's all this is. The crazy shit some dudes will do for the keys to unlimited pussy. If you don't have looks, money, brains or charms, you need to go primal and show off the the thing you do have: BIG BALLS.
First, the Sound. Some are perfectly audible, some are messed up - and who's the "genius" who thought to add a bg music to the last episode?
Please, don't do it, ever again. Let the guys speak as clearly and crispy as possible, as their thing is "to Surf", not "to Speak", you see? You'll be amazed at how to so many people around the World most surfers sound as if they're speaking some sort of a Jupiter's obscure dialect, with their own slang, Grammar Rules, sounds, laughs in the middle of some words, and so on.
Your channel is watched by millions of people, from many Cultures & Languages. Not everyone of them is friends with a "Black Trunk dude", you know?
Second, you could refrain to intertwine so much images and speeches, to avoid a "videoclip" feeling. Remember: "Surf is Fluency", like Master Tom Curren taught us all. My suggestion: firstly, show the whole (uncut) footage; then, let the guy speaks, explaining the whole ordeal; then, show the footage (uncut) again, so it ends up "illustrating" the narrative of its main actor, not "burdening" and/or "messing" it up for us, the viewers.
Third and final suggestion: you could very well make it longer. I'm sure there's plenty of other wipeouts out there in your records - and we're kind of a sadistic bunch of crazy dudes, y'know? j/k... \o/...
Or, also, you could've ask the Legends about it. I'm sure there's lots of seasoned veterans who'll love to give their takes on why some people messes up in this or in that wave so often. Like: ask Gerry about Pipe, and Manoa about Teahupoo, Laird about Pe'ahi, and so on.
Ok, time's up. Gotta go.
Love you guys! Have a good one!
