Ain't No Wave Pool - Mick Fanning on

What if I told you there was an unknown sand-bottom right that is five kilometres long, breaks 20 metres off the beach, holds six foot of swell and has only been surfed by four people on the entire planet?
Would you believe me?
What if good-ol’-having-a-year-off-Mick Fanning was one of those surfers, and he told you that this wave had him haulin’ arse like an F1 driver down a strip of sand that never seemed to end.
Would you believe him?

This ain't no fucking wave pool! This is the real world. This is The Snake.

Just picking out the ones that look like there fully packed to unleash with utter smoothness.

because so many people trying to point out where that might be: well, you guys have to analyze a little bit better the video footage and think a little bit clearer. than you might discover that most claims are not possible. only one person might have a chance to gotten it right so far in my opinion. for example: how many beach breaks do we know in the mentawais or maldives? exactly...0. and there will be none because it is almost entirely reef. so that is just a useless claim of space. my hint for the interested searcher. look where the sun stands at the different times of day and you might get an idea at least at which coastlines to look. extract daytime through wind, sun through the shadows and light on the wave faces. otherwise you might just be barking up the wrong tree. happy searching! and yes, i hope as well they can keep it secret as long as possible.

@Indonesiansurftravel 7 жыл бұрын

This wave its obviously no where near Indonesia. But you are wrong about there being no beach breaks in the Mentawais, there is quite a few two of the more well known ones are in the bay at Green Bush and in the Bay at Lances left, that said they rarely get good and are mostly surfed for the novelty factor or to get away from crowds, however there is a few beach breaks that can get alright under rare low period west swells.

@mozart5474 7 жыл бұрын

hey indo bule give you that. and i reckon that you know much more about indo than i do because sadly enough have i still not seen indo. but want to point out that indo is all about reef. no one goes normally there to explicitly surf a beach. most important: have fun and dont destroy what you came to enjoy. stuck at work but it is flat anyway today.16.2.2017 greetings from spain

@noexpectations17 7 жыл бұрын

I checked out some video of West Africa north of the equator and people were in boardshorts surfing right points. But yeah, east coast is as likely. And Madagascar sure has a lot of sand on its southern tip. I bet there's an airport nearby that would enable a quick strike when everything lines up. Can't see MF hanging out for weeks. Just nice to know this wave is out there.
