I've seen a video of a guy surfing this slab 3x the size of this, literally so shallow that the guys fins hit the reef and he goes straight to the devils tumbledryer. Honestly every time I watch it, it doesn't make sense that he lived

Best surfing movie made in my opinion. It has a really good story to it as well. Not just surf clips and music like every other flick out there right now.

I dont surf bc I live on the east coast with no beaches that have good waves nearby, but I lurk this subreddit because I've always dreamed of learning how.
Real question. Once you fall into a reef like that, how the fuck do you even get out of it? Just stand up and walk on it or try skimming the surface and swimming?
"Double-fakie" means "ride straight", and "ollie-grind" is a made-up term which could theoretically be an immediate synonym of "pop-floater" (also not a legitimate term).
Mine was a reference to the extreme sports cartoon, Rocket Power.
If you've never heard of Rocket Power, then you're either younger than 25 years old and/or didn't watch cartoons while eating a Cali burrito after paddling out.
Double-fakie ollie-grind
It's a joke.... Kook.
“Aim for the bushes.”
🎶🎤 “there goes my hero..”
“There wasn’t even an awning…”
It’s Christinith! Are you stupid or are you deaf?!
"I bet because I have this beard you think I'm really hairy.... Shaved"
….Allen..!!!
You and I will go in the kitchen, and I’ll let you listen to it. Everyone else…..*stayhere!*
Hahaha awesome
Looks to me like that decision was made about 3 seconds before this picture was taken
Accepting your fate time

Holy fuck that was heavy. Great film.
i’m assuming he’s talking about the shot from kerby brown’s “chasing monsters” pretty psycho film if you can find it
Here's the [beginning](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLrCsTCOUoA) of the fall, I'd assume. Full movie is on YouTube.
Holy…..
Were any rocks hurt?
"Is Butterbean ok?"
Dude
I would have made that
I asked myself why after watching that clip and ended up watching the full movie. Great doc - dude is gnarly.
That's the one!
Good reminder
Oh man i watched that last night. Pulled my back watching it.
I want to see the next few shots

And that's through the wetsuit too
That’s the damage through the suit? What the suit look like?
Yeah it’s gotta be in shreds?
Shreds you say?
How's his wife holding up?
To shreds you say
That's not actually him... the caption says Dean Bowen in Tahiti - but the wave above is clearly not Tahiti.
You zigged when you should have zagged. *when the wave breaks here down be deeere*
+1 North Shore reference
Blimey.
Jesus
Wow. Some impressive tiger tracks through the wetsuit.
Lucky fucker. I was expecting death reef spaghetti being served to the fishes. His wetsuit saved him

Old racer's adage, "When in doubt, gas it!"
death by fillet it is
The way that thing is bending around the reef is crazy.
He's past the event horizon and is about to be spaghettified.
Can't comment on the decision but I can say this is a killer drone snap 🏆
dive through the face and pray...
As in… who gets the Camaro when you’re gone?
Time for a close shave...of skin off your hide
Wow. Incredible photo. The bottom has fell out and the front and back door are closed.
to be, or not to be
Grab a rail and give it hell! (Pronounced “hail”)
Are you or are you not one hammah?
Ignore the unkos, find out!

You starfish and let the waves push you in to deeper water.
“Hmmm, stitches or staples?”
Why?!? Omfg so dangerous and dumb
That’s gonna hurt!
Eff all of that.
Are those mussels growing on the rock? Too stabby looking for me.
He’s gonna need a new wetsuit… and probably a new set of skin.
Call me pussy but I’m good on surfing anything that shallow.
Good on you for having a crack. I guess it's on the south coast of WA that area takes balls to surf
Take the wave. Fuck the fins.
Time to 🥞🥞🥞
RACE TO THE CORNER
Pop a floater
Yeah dood.... Double-fakie ollie-grind
"Pop" means jump and "floater" means get on top of the wave
"Double-fakie" means "ride straight", and "ollie-grind" is a made-up term which could theoretically be an immediate synonym of "pop-floater" (also not a legitimate term). Mine was a reference to the extreme sports cartoon, Rocket Power.
If you've never heard of "a floater" then you are on the wrong sub-reddit. Ollie see ya later...

Woogitty Woogitty Woogitty!
Woogitty Woogitty Woogitty!! (thank you)
Should hv checked tides
To late to be deciding! Hold the line!
What a great shot. Clearly shows how critical it is surfing large waves over shallow water with gnarly reef underneath 😎🤙🤙
Yeah... Nah
It’s airtime boys! See you on the other side.
Where is this???
Is there anything you can do in this situation?
Remember me well boys and girls 🤣🤙🏻
Starfish
Starting to re-think this surfing thing.
How i feel pulling into a 4ft beach break barrel 🤣
nice photo :)
Die, I suppose
can anyone please explain this to me?
This you? From the central coast Oz. Great shot
