Wipeouts never get old. Performance surfing grows by leaps and bounds every year, but eating shit has essentially remained the same for decades. But we never, ever tire of watching it and hearing the stories behind it. Because, and here’s the thing: surfers are generally horrible when it comes to talking about their own surfing. But they are amazing when recounting almost dying. Not sure why, but it’s true.
Greatest Wipeouts is a Surfline original series showcasing death-defying surfing wipeouts, near-death experiences and heaviest waves of all time.

this is like falling off of a house then having the house fall on u
Old mate did not fall 20 feet ahahahaha
O'ahu north shore is brutal
Bro I be boogie boarding and when I get a splash of water in my face I feel like I’m dieing
The worst thing is that you survive and it hurts even more
Why I hate huge waves is because if you are in a huge wave and you get out and big waves keep coming how are you going to get out???? It would be so hard
Do they wear there leash attached or not?
Surfers all have a vibe of awareness; It's built into them from years of oceanic discipline. Can see it in their eyes and if you don't, they probably don't really surf.
Dude thas rad brah??suh dude ??
They act very cool, but probably shat their pants.
Were do you find such big waves???
wave: right back at ya, buckaroo
Jesus
Notice how their all boys smh
Mother Nature be like: gottemmm
Don't skip rocks on the ocean or the ocean will skip you across the ocean
Boogie boarding The worst wipe out for me was the Scorpion thats when your laying down on your stomach and and your legs hits your head and i surf in Puerto Rico ???
And this is why I only surf when the waves are least than a metre high
I love surfing ?♀️
Wow I wasnt even hit by a wave half that size and I was basically twisted in half and got the best back crack of my life
who else is watching this because they can’t sleep because their neighbours burglar alarm that’s going off when they’re not even home frick everyone sksksk
The worst part about a wipeout is when it is a giant barrel it backwashes you and it pulls you up again and then hits u back down
They didn't have those CO2 canisters back in the beginning of the big wave El Nino era. I took at bad wipe out way back when a huge south swell from a hurricane out of Baja hit San Clemente. In retrospect, it could have been a two wave hold down cause I was held under well beyond my capacity to hold my breath. The force of the impact knocked the wind out of me and it felt like I was spinning forever. To this day, it's hard to fathom why I didn't drown.
if you've ever been turned and twisted by a wave at the beach, imagine what that would feel like in those waves.
When Twiggy said he didn't touch the bottom but he could feel it's presence I can relate. I had many wipeouts where I could sense the bottom before I touched it and then I finally touched it. It's a weird feeling and I don't know how it's possible
“I went for a nice long swim” reminded me of the time I fell off a boat and they didn’t notice so I had to swim after it bc the shore was to far away
I respect white people for having balls to ride those waves, I'm gonna stick to riding my bike #Peace
Don’t these idiots know the smart guys don’t use leashes
“and I free fall like 20 feet”
falls about 4-5 feet
Most of these breaks is where I’m from
I got pitted and was like WAAaAAAAAAH
