Kainoa Mcgee 1st wave of the set is insane. I remember seeing it on a video about 8 years ago as well that Mike Stewart one is nuts. Classic stuff. Thanks for posting!

Dude at 1:32 got Munched! I was raised on Oahu, we used to go most years and the sets were usually 20 to 30+ Feet and Scary as hell. Almost nobody got into the water except the locals who had been boogie boarding it for years, or the pro's. My brother and I both surfed, but never did work up the courage to try that winter Banzai surf!

Thank you man. I surf and bodyboard. And i love both, AND respect both.

i give props to anyone who is out there bodyboarding surfing or whatever else

I'd love to just be there. Weather surfing, bodyboarding or spectating from the beach. To see waves like that puts a big smile all over my face.

Dare I say, Pipeline is probably the most beautiful wave in the world...

For people arguing whether surfing or bodyboarding is better, there both equally fun to do. To surfers, bodyboarders are pushing the sport to the limits and found the craziest spots such as the famous Teahupoo, Cyclops, Shipsterns.

Chuck Norris relaxing pool

OMG! Last time I was here I didn't see these kind of surfs. Freaking awesome!

Body boarders rule that day

those sets are relentless

Man that's nice waves

Isn't there a reef like three feet under that

it all looks fun!

In the surfing vs bodyboarding arguments, surfing ALWAYS wins because its better. As simple as that.

ONe of the sickest videos online.

mad respect to everyone out there for charging those monsters. now whose ready for the a week of 7-12 south shore?

so im going to do this oneday!!! lets hope i dont die!!

respect to ya bro!

Bodyboarder charger on that day. Nice and powerfull

Bodyboarding or surfing, give these guys props. Thats insane

Toes are curling, getting goose bumps!

Massive for sure!

Really nice shots. You've gotta have some spuds to ride waves like that!!

Stand up progression comes from bodyboarding. Flips, rolls, spins and airs all done years before you see them done on a stick

The surfboard is a survival !

that surfer wiped out hard!

there were more bodyboarders than surfers... really great set!

sick!

That was me, on that-- floresent yellow board-- have another one- for Waimea-- Jaws, same colors. Scent= smell? Sent= go--dropped in. sent= taught in portions- Chaldean. Banned for 3wks-- with them bodyboarders-- got booed, at restraunt.

0:57 is amazzing !

It's awesome that there wasn't wave in a set that wasn't ridden by someone.

That gotta be fun : P

1st got made a MAD takeoff and 3rd guy got a really good ride

That's a killer 'wipe out' at 1:37. I'm told there's a reef not far below the surface at Pipeline. That guy must have got smashed ! Hope he's ok.

Honestly,bodyboarding is only exciting to watch when it's a huge Pipe like that. :-0

how do you even get in or out of that sea?!

1:05 wave of the day. Biggest one and he went out of his way to do some cutbacks to stay deeeep in the wave

why are people arguing over bodyboarding and surfing? we both have the same thing in mind, to catch waves, and to feel the thrill of going over the next wave to find a bigger and better wave,

This is the kind of video that makes me want to go bodyboarding instead of surfing. Besides the way you can catch more gnarly waves, when bodyboarding you can also get around using your legs with flippers, which is way easier than paddling

Gosh boogie boarders are soo cool

could you imagine being caught on the inside of this shit!?!?

GIANT is the word

I remember as a kid in Rio de Janeiro boogieboarding using 1/4 plywood boards, before the foam boards came out. They would slide down the waves a lot faster. The drawback was, they didn't float so you couldn't wait for the waves on top of them, and if you wipe out you better stay away from them.

first of all, east coast spots can be very consistent in the winter! Infact, the biggest days in obx come from big winter NE swells. MUCH bigger than anything at trestles. Now, google hurricane sandy at pumphouse. When was the last time one of your socal breaks looked like this? i bet never

respect

thumbs up for neon greed board (:

hey Im a surfer but I love body surfing when the waves arent there and boogieboarding would be way safer on pipe until you learn the wave then introduce your board to it.

this makes bells look safe.

1:35 Doh!!!

banzai pipeline!!!

always recognize Mike Stewart by his cutback

Ive bodyboarded and surfed and there both just as fun as the other. I have to say that surfing is harder though.

Surfing is going on a wave in a flotation device, using only the power of the wave. Surfer surf, bodyboarders surf, bodysurfers surf. Just to be in tune with the power of the seas, and oceans.

crazy

That shit is SICK!

what was that in the wave at 1:56? The previous wipeout victim?

that shit is crazy i would never go out with the waves like that and i been out in hurricanes but im from the east coast so we dont get big waves lol

@Campbalatang - a set can easily be 8 waves long. Huge swells like this commonly have 8 wave sets, some even more.

I been surfing the waves look so much bigger when ur in the water u can’t imagine how big that wave would be

I got slammed to the floor by a tiny wave and it felt like it shiiiit. i can't imagine how bad these waves would push you down...How long are you held underwater by the waves after you wipe out on waves that big?

is the ocean floor sand or reef here?

That guy got pounded at 1:38. He's had balls though.

i am just wondering how they paddle out

0:42 so fast that he can't do the bottom turn

LOL! The sponge at :20 looks like he caught a rail, or maybe just couldn't cope with the intensity. So the potentially sickest barrel of his life turned into a major pounding. And yea, I wonder why at 1:35 the surfer tried to kick out. Must've been closing out down the line (which we couldn't see). Or, he wasn't experienced negotiating that heavy a wave. Either way, bad decision. He took serious gas--over the falls, then gotta swim for his board through the impact zone.

Call me a whimp, but that is SCARY!

HOW THE FUCK COULD YOU CHARGE THAT?? these men have balls of steel, jesus christ

@zdude747 Lol, that is pretty much it :p Since I posted that comment I've been practicing on holding my breath, but when you are under the pressure of the wave and just getting rag-dolled around, then it's a totally different story.

@wAialuaSwag Hey man, the ocean is unpredictable. Sets could go on for a long time.

who doesn't, turtles are awesome

I REALLY WANT TO SURF HERE WHEN IM OLDER AND HAVE THE MONEY

Stencil = NORTH SHORE? scrubbed, routed, deleted-- A college, classes I/O. SOUTH SHORE!

TEL'ME'EIN'BL'R'HAN'--Tell me, nine bell rings of, right hand.

this people have balls.. if i was on top of that my pant would be so shitted i would contaminate the water for a couple of months

@jackyirishboy Duck dive my Friend. You go UNDER the Breaking waves. It takes Practice but it's pretty easy once you figure it out.

Total chicken skin at 1:14

If the guy were using a leash, the board probably wouldn't have survived

Reef and verry dangerous one to

Did the board snap at :43

1:36 WIPEOUT WAS HARD

The Ocean is everyone's. Cut the crap and enjoy it. NASTY SWIM IN THOUGH !

@Lokneo29 You must ride boogie boards and trikes!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ah aha hahahahaha!!!

So what do u call that?? 8 to 10 foot Hawaiian??

@shred4life6999 It's really not that bad. Just takes a lot of practice. But it's fun. And it's funny as hell to watch people wipe out

1:36 has gotta hurt...

That's what i call a wave people

Even big Pipe looks embarrassing after teahupu footage

I would drown. How do you even get past the waves when they're breaking?!

damn straight man, i surf not body board. but a good buddy of mine does. and i defend him all the time from those fucks out there hating on him for doing somthing he loves

1:31 lololol

this looks more like the wedge than pipeline...

So you could do that right?

@EnjoyMyCutback That was another guy going OVER the wave just in time so he didnt end up going over the falls

Lol 1:36 surfer is like F*** YOU WAVE :headbuts wave:

dude was that guy at 1:30 out there without a leash? fuckin BALLS!

Picture looks cropped- ain't this the Wedge?

D'HONO'NORTH'ERX'--Did honor, what? not is, king's pavement. Pipe is, sot--south.

1:04

I would do that if WHEN i fell i was not thrown in the wave
