😂😂😂😂

Hahaha!! Most localised spot on Earth.. would have been a good video title!!

😂😂😂

This cracked me up 😂

Yeah I know!! There must be a fair few other places like this as well!

There is a place, situated in an area called thevred triangle -- Not in reference to ginger girls' anatomies -- that i have gazed in awe upon some reefish peeling coifs, alone A friend born on the ranch far south, famed for its hands coming down to assure that resting surfers remained below the kelpy tide line, and i, strolling upon said shelvy shore, pressed some pinnipeds, with generous portions of their posteriors penetrated by large crescent cutouts. I remarked of the resulting redolence, " it smells like gorgonzola cheese." As yet, i camembert no semblance of surfing has ensued. I have passed over one of the landlords off that shore, skipping above one triple the size of that sailboard, without pausing to pet him.

Thanks mate!! Stoked you enjoy the vids :))

Wow, that's crazy you couldn't even get there! Yeah all footage credits to other parties, but there is some out there!

Thanks mate!! So stoked you enjoyed this one, took ages to make, but really enjoyed the research/creative process, so definitely gonna make more in the same format :)

Hey Richard! Thank you so much and so glad you enjoy the content :)

Thanks mate!! Glad you enjoyed it! Really enjoyed making this type of video, so will make more in the future :)

Thanks so much!! Stoked you enjoy them :)

Thanks mate!! Stoked you enjoyed it :)

Lol such a lie

Mate,l skippered a dive boat in Burma in the late 1990's that used to sometimes do surf trips to the Andamans.The first time was with a bunch of pros and a large segment was used in the footage for the film thicker than water.The next season we got permission to go to Nortn Sentinel.We surfed the reef pass that is slap bang in the middle of the south side of the fringe reef for 4 days straight.Every day we saw the sentinelese on the beach and sometimes in dug out canoes.so every night we moved 5 miles offshore and just drifted for the night then returned in the morning.We also surfed a wave on the west side near one of the wrecks. So next time you wish to call me a liar maybe have a think about what you are about to say.

​@@mattbaker3074Why isn't your story more known? Very few people alive today went to North sentinel island

Because not everybody feeling the need to share with the world on social media or other what they doing in their life, especially nice crazy place that would be destroy by mass tourism, internet exposure or crowd. Just normal simple life as it was possible the 90’

@@mattbaker3074 Its true, the pass has been surfer before by this mate and, perhaps another group of pros I read about where they played music by a band called AIR as the natives approached in a canoe. Not sure if this was your trip there Matt, but nonetheless your account sounds totally legit, and what is amusing is people who make assumptions about surfing history without having done a mite of research.

Thanks, Paul!! Such a fascinating place!!

Thank you!! Stoked you enjoyed it, will defo be making more :)

Stoked you enjoyed it :)

Yeah took a while to research, but was super interesting!! Yeah I've heard about that counter haha 😂

Haha epic mate!! All good, that was super fun out there yesterday! 🙌

Thanks, Brad!! Stoked ya enjoyed it :)

Thank you :))

Ahhh Damn!! That sucks!

Thank you :)

They must pump those reef passes there!! Insane! But yes, imagine that, if we could float boards in, and then a whole new surfing community started up, separate from the rest of the world haha!

No problem 👍

Same!!

Hahhah wow, Imagine!! 😂

Hahaha!! Yeah I hope this doesn't give anyone any ideas 😂

Thanks mate!! Yeah totally agree we should leave them alone!!

I agree with you 100%

Thanks mate!!

It is true

hahhaha!

Hahah! Yeah, got lost in the research with this one 😂

Yeah, I'm going to read it for sure!!

Thanks mate!!

i was just thinking, imagine if you floated a quiver over to them and a year later they are caught on video shredding.

Hahhah 😂

What’s the story?

@@lostern Me and my 2 friends where the first ones to paddle out at a pass between Sanibel and Captiva island. It was just a few minutes after the sun came up and we ŵere joking about who was going to get the first wave . My friend Rob was on a 7 foot fun board and he was out in the lineup before me and my other friend Paul even had our wetsuits zipped up. So me and Paul jump 8n the ripping north to south current and start paddling towards the outside sandbar. Right after getting past the shallow sandbar and into dee0er water I got knocked up and out of the water by a massive hammerhead. My friend Paul was about 30-35 feet away and saw everything ! He paddled right back to the beach. I had to retrieve my 6'8" Linden because the leash broke. All I saw was a huge dark Grey fin sticking up a couple feet out of the water swimming away rather quickly ! Paul told me when I got to the beach it was big enough to swallow me in 1 or 2 bites. He estimated it was 16-18' if not bigger ! I weighed a little over 220 pounds and was thrown out of th water from the impact ! My board had a creased imprint that went all the way across my 20" wide board. We yelled to my friend Rob about the shark and he waved us off and kept surfing. I had a choice to make that day and me and my friend Paul figured it was a one in a million incident and the odds of it happening again where astronomical. So we paddled back out and scored epic waves for a couple hours before the crowds showed up. Had I not went back out that day I probably never would of surfed again. I remember standing on the beach looking at my now dinged up board and I remember never having felt so small and insignificant as I was in the Ocean....even the Gulf of Mexico. Anyone familiar with that area knows the spot I was at is literally a few short miles from a known hammerhead breeding grounds ! The spot is just a few minutes by boat south of Boca Grande pass ! Look up the tarpon tournaments held there to see what kind of sharky waters the whole area is. This happened in the 1990's and at that time there was a legend about a great Hammerhead named ol' Hitler that many witnesses claimed took many a whole tarpon from fishermen ! Pretty sure I had an up close and personal encounter ! This story is true and accurate too the best of my recollection !

"Thicker than Water" was filmed at Little Andaman Island in the Andamans group, not far from North Sentinel and the project was done in compliance with Indian laws, rules and regulations - I know, because I produced that project, the first surf trip ever to the Andaman Islands

Where else?

You need to get out more bra

I'm sure there are!! Peruvian and Brazilian Amazon...

There must be someone who knows more about them somewhere!!

Hahah! Not sure if that's good for advertisers, but it felt right haha😂

@@DanHarmon123 lolol

Yeah super interesting!! Spent hours learning about the place hahah!!

@@DanHarmon123 nice, keep going 🤙🏾

Yo mate!! Epic story! Really enjoyed reading it while I researched this video!! Will hit you up if i'm ever coming to the Andamans!!

Mate people have been sailing up through there since Adam was a boy , and it is not uncommon for cruisers to stop off for a look and a paddle . Plenty of story’s shared at anchorages up through the Nicobar , Andaman of people surfing North Sentinel , spots even have names . I have surfed North Sentinel on two seperate passages , no drama on either occasions . You are more likely to see a Unicorn than the Indian Navy or any other authority up there . Cheers 😎☠️

While it is not common to see the Indian Navy anywhere in either the Andamans or the Nicobar Islands, they do have helicopter and ship patrols. The Navy helicopter hovered over us for a good 20 minutes one day as we spoke to them the radio, eventually convincing them we had the proper permissions to be in the area and they flew off. So quiet after that racket. There was also an incident with an Indian Navy ship in the Nicobar Islands that was a very close call, if we were caught in that area it would likely result in a prison sentence - but we were not. Take a look around in in Port Blair harbour - see those groups of boats in the distance? If you get close to them, you will see they have a big chain running thru the wheelhouses - all the boats are chained together in groups, the Burmese boats in one area, Indonesian boats in another, chained and locked for months until fines for illegal fishing are paid and the boat snd their crews can be released. So the Indian Navy is not an idle threat, but it is possible to nip over to North Sentinel for a quick surf and not get caught. @@requinsrequins7953

hahaha!!

@@DanHarmon123 I have been looking North sentinel island for years now… The waves look nuts 🌰 watch doco’s I check it out on google maps all the time lol 😂 on the buck list… lol 😜

Hey mate!! I think so... but I haven't read it yet!!

No - it is fiction@@DanHarmon123

The book is a fiction novella.

Hahah!

Might start a history channel hahah...

Almost definitely! In summer at least....

Yes, and the nice warmth of hypothermia

Totally agree!!

Totally agree, just my imagination running wild...

It is awesome on Nth Senny, we love pulling into deep pits on Stabby Stabby reef, NSBR 4 Life

@@NthSennyBoardRidersbrilliant 😂

Wow!! What an epic story!! I'm sure there are a few other little tales like that echoing around the surfing world haha...

Did he say how he was even aware of the waves locations?

James the ripper russell known for his legendary soul arches has smashed the back doors in of this break. He's written a book about it but we all know he's the legendary character in his book.

That Islanders name is Chuck. Last name is Spears. (No relation to Britney). .
