It's been a gnarly week! But, all nuclear things must come to an end. Not all of us can spend our golden years basking in the sun at Pipeline, watching the waves crash on the reef & soaking in the vibes of the North Shore of Oahu. Jamie Obrien can for sure, but not all of us. So Jamie Obrien kicked me out of his house in Hawaii ! haha. Huge thanks to Jamie for an amazing week of waves & epic times. What a true legend this guy is having us visit every year FOR THE DREAM! See you next year Hawaii! - Ben

@joegibbs2508 2 жыл бұрын

That situation Ben dealt with is very real. You get in a zone, we call the washing machine or the rinse cycle. All those waves are forcing so much water to shore, that it causes a massive rip, and you get stuck in the zone, you can't go in or out. You can't go in, because the rip takes you out. And when you duck dive, to avoid getting slammed, the wave can only push you a little ways in. Only to have the rip push you back out to the next crashing wave. So you are stuck in the impact zone. As weird as it seems, you don't want to duck dive and avoid the sets. You actually need to relax and tread water, until the wave is about to pound you. Then swim hard toward shore and let it pound you, then chill till the next one and repeat. Eventually they will pound you toward the shore, out of the zone, where you can eventually stand up. Once you can stand, repeat and do the same thing, wait till a wave is on top of you, and then jump with it, and let it pound you in. IT SUCKS!!!!!! Well done Ben!

"For the Nightmare!" Classic. I forget if I've given you my technique for the ultimate PB&J... You know how sometimes one isn't quite enough but a second is just out of reach? Go triple decker! PB on the outside slices and J on Both sides of the middle. The J gets sealed in by the PB and soaks into the middle slice making it less likely to gush out into your lap on the way to El Slammo. Works great with Honey as well.

Dude, I could feel the fear there, geez. Happened to me once or twice at Assateague during a hurricane. Super shallow bar, suck out pouring back over the drop off that kept pulling you back out to sea but not enough to get past the breaking waves. Over and over, flipping, spinning for 10 waves at a time and no energy to get in once it slowed down. I know it was only the east coast but still some scary shit and not an especially big day, probably 3 foot Hawaiian. Glad you, pulled through, makes a really good story to tell and exciting vlog though.

Sucks brother. The one time I thought it was smart to pull my leash in really big surf I learned a harsh lesson with an outcome similar to this.

@Johnisbetter-dw3fi 2 жыл бұрын

if you're on a board bigger than 7'6" I would highly recommend bailing on a big day, as long as no one's behind you. A board that size is really hard to duckdive and you won't be able to hold onto your board through a duckdive if a triple overhead bomb breaks on your head anyway.

Great vid Ben. Never fun copping multiple sets on the head. Glad you got out okay. Keep up the excellent work. Lovin being a member of the nub nation.

Epic session damn!! Had the same situation in portugal with a snapped leash. Another surfer helped me get out of the impact zone. Thankfull you made it!

The real lesson is to recognize a "recycle zone" where ever you surf. They don't just happen there, they are all over the world.

Hawaiian waters have some kind of extra intensity and power though it’s nuts how gnarly they can get.

Glad you made it through that. A leash breaking in big surf is probably one of the suckiest things that can happen to you.
