Quarantine day 1: working on my thesis Quarantine day 7: 5 big wawes you wouldn't believe if not on video.

The ocean is beautiful, but absolutely terrifying at the same time.

“Those aren’t mountains, those are waves”

The dude who surf through that huge wave is an absolute legend

That one guy that was surfing the big wave when it crashed and was still on, is actually a legend

I'd love to hear from a captain how it feels to sail through an 100ft wave. Incredible.

For everyone's information, the tsunami wave that the Japanese ship rode through was the wave of 3.11 Great East Japan earthquake which had a magnitude of 9.0, the biggest earthquake ever recorded in Japan. Over 20000 people perished in this tsunami and fires that followed. Considering this significance, there's no doubt that this one gets number 1 on the list.

Some people say he's laughing because he enjoys it, but uncontrollable laughter is actually a common reaction when in fear of death. I forgot which article I read about this, but when you can't do anything but watch in a terrible situation, you tend to laugh. That's why some people also start to laugh while or after crying, desperate states of mind trigger some kind of contrary reaction. Sorry for my English, it's not my mothertongue

I’m afraid of big waves, tsunamis, not seeing what’s in the water and drowning. Why am I watching this

the only thing I learned from this video Ships have windshield wipers

Am I the only one who gets MASSIVE anxiety watching this!? I mean, it's still cool though

The dude on the ship laughing after going over the 100 foot wave is a legend too 😂😂😂

How to survive natural disasters Be the camera man

Wow, this footage is incredible! Props to all of you for the amazing editing and the soundtrack. I actually noticed how perfect it was and how it seamlessly it enhanced the video itself.

I love the feeling of being in a boat and feeling it being tossed around. Thank goodness I have never felt seasick. Forty years ago and more I remember being on the ferry to Ireland and my sister and I would run down the corridors being flung from side to side, and there would be sick washing around the public toilets but there was a sill that stopped it coming out into the corridors. When we were in our cabin we used to get tossed from side to side in our bunks and my Dad would put the plug in the sink to stop stuff gurgling up. I think the newer ferries are much bigger and more stable, and I probably would be scared now rather than exhilarated!

IDK why I'm watching this tsunamis are like my biggest fear

And imagine old sailors back in the old days with wooden boats. Yikes

The ocean is such an amazing beautiful part of our land. Also such a powerful deadly part too. It's unbelievable how something so beautiful and incredible could be such a devastating thing

All to remind us just how small we really are!!!

it's so uncomfortable looking at that and just knowing it exists

Tsunamis are insane, it’s like the entire horizon just comes barreling towards you

me watching this with a huge fear of tsunamis: “why are we still here..just to suffer”

This goes to show you how powerful the sea really is and should never be underestimated

"Those aren't mountains, they're waves."

I have a legitimate fear of water. If I can't see through it, I'm not getting in. Yet, here I am. Adding fuel to the fire by watching waves, tsunamis, and shark videos on KZfaq.

Starting at 9 minutes I started having very intense memories of the ocean looking like that, and a flash of a memory of that dark blue color of the waves with bright white (like on the front of the ship there) and an under water memory with a large black X under the water.. a flash of deep blue but clear water from underneath as if I'm submerged looking up.. I have never been out at sea and I have no clue where these memories are coming from but they're surprisingly vivid and the feeling is peaceful and quiet but having unknown memories is spooky..

With that storm, I would have closed my eyes, ears and hid in the corner of a room praying....so terrifying

It always seems like real sailors laugh in the face of massive waves. You see it in multiple videos of sailors and waves. I guess when you have that saltwater in your blood, you just have to laugh because you KNOW you're making it through just fine. Such an amazing relationship sailors have with the sea

Theres a Croatian coast saying that says, if a man doesnt know how to pray, send him to the sea

Imagine the thousands of people who were never accounted for in these waters....yoh💔

That surfer must be the luckiest man on earth. I salute his bravery and skills. Riding a wave that big isn't an event that happens every day or to everyone

the water moves calmly and elegantly, but their impact is devastating.

I cant imagine gently rolling over the top of a tsunami, this seemingly harmless wave in the open ocean thats inevitably going to kill hundreds of people when it hits shore...

I love those crazy big waves 🔥🔥👌

God my GOD..... The creations you created so mystifying and terrifying at the same time

the biggest waves ever caught on camera wouldnt be able to reach the internet because the filmer is dead from the wave.

3:37 *LEGEND SAYS HE'S STILL SURFING HIS WAY TO THE SHORE*

Nature never fails to amaze us

Absolutely amazing!

*A 100 feet high wave attaches man while he’s in a little boat* Him: *dying off laughter*

This is why I only swim in pools

This video has one of the most terrifying youtube video thumbnails i have seen so far. Gives me goosebumps

*It is so needed for stress relief right now.💛*

Respect to designers and engineers who they created this strong ships which those can resistance against this supermassive waves and also the brave people who riding the ships and just laughing .👍👍👏👏

Anyone else really scared of large bodies of water but still watching this

Real power and beauty, nature. The surfer in the 'curl,' WOW!

I really love the way ships built over the centuries so they can resist such forces from big waves

Now imagine crossing that in a wooden sail boat. Our ancestors were either brave or stupid.

Imagine, dying just like that. Alone...just vanishing into darkness

Video of those massive waves going over the top of a ship is something I got lucky enough to experience a board the West Star (404 foot long) cruise ship. Less than one day out the icebergs started to move haphazardly during our Seward to Vancouver cruise. With 90% of the ship seasick (weak tea and soda water was my diet), I spent hours in the cocktail lounge above the bridge while massive waves broke over the top of the ship. Calling it exciting is an understatement. When you’re in that type of situation, that’s when you learn just how powerful the ocean really is. Now I just wish I could do it all over again :-)

#2 was magnificent. And that surfer is legendary.

100ft wave *Man on boat : cackles* Mother Nature: 👁👄👁

Does anybody else think “what’s under all that water”? What types of animals are living there? Lmao the treasure?

This is unbelievable This is beautiful

Wow that first clip at the beach looks like a paradise before those massive waves

I don't really like to swim in waters way above my head, even with darker waters where I can't see what's on the bottom of it. It terrifies me feels like something will grab me in to the deep.

When I see that clip of Japanese sailors going over the Tsunami, I get goosebumps... Also, It's a bit sad. They probably realized what would happen when that massive thing hit land and their families and friends are still there..

This whole video makes my heart race. I refuse to be in open water

All I can say is WOW! And thanks!

ocean: *nearly kills a whole beach* australians: *its free real estate*

Lol I like how in the first one the woman in the chair doesn’t even acknowledge the huge waves

Me: literally caught in the middle of the see for a day with no help at all - terrified of water and sea - having panic attacks and anxiety- can't go to the beach. But also ME: WATCHING video about huge waves and making myself more anxious 🙂

So soothing to watch..

If i was in any of those ships i would have died from heart attack

i swear these were the exact waves that killed elsa and anna’s parents 👀

The dude who is laughing what a crazy but legendary person.

Best was the last...absolutely epic!

It is all fun and games till’ that water on the window don’t wipe off.

What courage pirates had to pass those oceans with theire wooden ships .. and fight each others in same time and jumping from a boat to another while carrying swords and guns !

The surfing video looked so majestic

2:01 why is he laughing 😂. I was here behind the camera crying 😂😭💀

Tsunami is happening Humans: RUNN Surfers: THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE

It must've been tough for that surfer to get through that wave carrying those giant nuts.

Wow.. number 2... Awesone buzz for this Guy!!!!!

Awesome music too 👍🏿

the scariest ones are the cargo ship ones, because you know they’re in the middle of the ocean

He laughed at the face of death. Even death was scared of him. Not an ordinary man but the most interesting man in the world. Perhaps he drinks Dos Equis

Oh I forgot to mention, waves were breaking over the top of the ship for over three days solid. The power of the ocean and the waves this huge must be experienced in person. Video alone cannot convey the somewhat dangerous massive waves and how you feel sudden stops that makes you feel like you’re standing still. Best cruise of my life.

The man that rode that way is the GOAT, wish he had a go pro camera or something

Idk why I'm watching this while on a cruise ship out in the middle of the ocean. Like what am I doing to myself.

Legend says that the guy is still surfing

the line from Interstellar, " those aren't mountains, those are waves !" kept on buzzing in my brain the entire time lmao

I have recurring nightmares like these. And I guess I’ll be having another one tonight thanks to this video.

Well this gave me anxiety

The Japanese tsunami is so sad. So many people and animals about to lose their lives, homes or loved ones.

And to think that 15 thousand people, as on date, dislike this marvellous video.

Mega respect for these ship captains and crew. Terrifying.

I like the music. It's calming and relaxing. Thank you for not adding ominous or scarey music. Much appreciated dude.

On the first one those people are so lucky that those rocks were ther

That surfer must’ve felt like he had gone to surfer heaven. Perhaps I’m wrong, but I bet this was the wave of his life!

Me, I have never encountered an tsunami, or seen one in real life. But this one in Japan is insanely enormous!!! I never knew Japan had to go through all that!!

LOL I just love that guy with his gf "relax, relax" HAHAHA

Run tsunami. Surfer: hold my beer

Can we just take time to apprishiate how much work it took top5s to make this video and how watching these waves is kinda satifing but also really cool

The last clip of the entire vid was the one that got me.

A giant dangerous wave: *exists* Surfers: *it's free real estate*

Me in a boat) (Sees a 100 foot height wave) Me:dies before it even hits the boat)

Can you imagine a hurricane at sea in the middle of the night on an aircraft carrier. And curiosity brings you to a catwalk to see how large those waves were? Mind you, a catwalk between the flight and hanger deck. I was never so scared in my life. It was Feb 7th 1978 off the coast of Rota, Spain. I was so sick just arriving aboard USS NIMITZ, from the ship rolling, I had to test my courage. Waves were 30 feet high. It was the same day the blizzard of 78 hit the east coast.

I was once caught in a big wave about 7 meters tall it almost drowned me but this is just terrifying
