That wave didn't have a lip - it had the whole fuckin' ocean behind it.

Bruce knows how to tell a story - legend.

The thickness of that lip is bigger than waves I'm scared to drop in on. Cheer hoo!

I've gotten worked by 5 foot waves and lost all sense of direction. When i finally got to shore i contemplated going back out. (Only a few months surfing at the time) I truly learned to respect the power of the ocean. Couldn't imagine whipping out on waves this size.

8 foot waves are about where big wave surfing starts. Anything overhead is considered "big wave surfing". I know the experience going out and not being physically prepared for it or experienced enough. Really many intermediate/beginnner surfers don't know how to conserve energy while in the water and tire themselves out. I think proper paddling form and knowing how to command yourself in the water is vital, you can't go out into 8 foot surf and expect to be okay without some sense of it.

Honestly I've watched this clip around 5 or 6 times and I never get tired of it, it's one of the funniest surf videos ever, the humour just cracks me up so much.. the child flash trip he mentions is what's called having a neart death experience, I had exactly the same thing happen to me when I was hit by car and ended up underneath it, it all happened so quick but the footage I could see in front of my eyes was of everything going back right to when I was a baby and young child, it was the most intense thing to realise and seemed quite long but in reality was only a second at the most as I got smashed and buried underneath the back of a Holden.

@John Frankland what u mean its water¿? do u know that underwater is not possible to breath? plus the shallow reef.....

Greatest wipeout ever. With the story and end sequence to go with it 👍😂

So damn funny... your buddy Koby. Great counter balance to the death defying ride. Humbly related. Thanks Bruce.

Bruce I'm so proud of you for making it thru your Brothers journey. Keep charging

Could not have asked for a better wipeout. Brilliant memory. CapeTown

That is all time! Best surf story ever! Bar none!

Bruce Irons: only guy in History to ever wipeout on one of the gnarliest monster waves ever at Teahupoo, then miraculously gets off unscathed and is then gracefully jet-ski paraded on the lineup butt-naked, thus earning his spot in Surf history forever by mixing extreme life-threatening drama & comedy on the same wave - all the while narrating it with a charming and unpretentious, "no-biggie"-style. Now, that's the epitome of "Cool". Feel free to top it...

I was there that afternoon. I tell we had a good laugh that evening after a nice glass of bitter cold beer 🍺 and a nice glass of scotch on ice

never seen this before classic. Bruce ur a beast!

legend.

Love you Bruce!!! ♥️

Best vid I've seen all year hahaha 🧡

Big stupid grin on my face from that story. Thank you surfline. I can relate Bruce.

...and here I am getting caught in a 6 foot break and completely losing all sense of orientation. You wouldn't think those size waves would toss you so violently but they really do! So much respect for the ocean and the people who surf these monsters

Your the man Bruce!

Brings new meaning to the term "balls out".

Straight up a bunch of awesome looneyssss, what a wild life achievement!!!!

great story!

Great story Bruce!

When there is a party going on and the stories start getting told and someones response to said story is "classic": This is the correct use of "classic". No matter how matter how much time elapses between the telling the story stays timeless. Here that Mr. Bruce Irons Sir. You are Timeless... AI and BI the Irons Clan's latest addition to the Classics!

Hahaha - funny as heck. Trust an Irons to do things to the MAX! Go Bruce!

That is one sick wave

Great,video so,beautiful, so,breathtaking, so,peaceful 🦓😎😎😋🙄😁🤣

Oh fuk i've been there. Lost my shorts on a wave at my local break, had to borrow my mates lucky he was wearing boxers... Glad to see it happens to the best of us.

Great vid! Funny as x-D

That was the best ever! I think Andy reached down and snagged his brothers pants just for fun!!! Bruce is da man

guaaaaaa guaaaa OMG DUDE that was too funny..I grew up watching this guy in surf mags legendary guy with a great sense of humor...lol classic.

haha mick fannings contribution. hysterical. pure amazement and rightfully so.

Wild.

that wave was sick.

I'm really glad he said he was scared because damn those waves are monstrous and scary! I can't even imagine a wipe out on a wave that size. I've been wiped out bad many times by big (big for the east coast of the USA) waves where my head collides with the ocean floor and I have to do the bubbles trick to know which way is up. Can't imagine a wave like that. OMG!

Well, 1. Eyes or death 2. Maybe it depends on some kind of sediment, or salt content in your area. Clarity is hard when its all churned up Sh*t ive never tried it. I swam up before, and thought someone was surfing above me , swam at them, and hit the bottom. I did open my eyes last night surfing/duckdiving, and i saw where the surfer was next to me, to avoid him. So i know it works. It burns a bit in the pool too. But, when you gotta you gotta!

brucw irons is such a legend

losing my shorts would be the last of my worries

Nice, and what is the background music?

yumy

Best ending ever lol

that's awesome!...wait...did he say "child flash trip"? that's a trip too.

dat was one mean ass wave....shred um no scade um Bruce..Aloha

You have keen perception. Yes, most waves have the capacity to kill. But there is somebody in the water whom most of all you surfers owe your life too....Yes, Jesus Christ Loves Surfing and He is constantly saving Surfers's Lives whom otherwise would have perished in the massive waves. I'm not a super religious person, it's just what I see within the elements. PEACE!

@Ian Dog I'M Okay, thank you for asking. I know what you mean. The words I speak sound as if I'm crazy, yet I AM Not. A Spirit revealed their self from within Myself. Still Myself, but with a new visitor who can read my mind from within thoughts. My thoughts no longer my own, but community property with The Spirit of Earth, Sun, Stars, Moon and everything that exist. In time, I realized that it's GOD of Creation. Here's what I now know. That GOD is the Living Soul of A Woman who had become everything that exist. And has arisen through Me to bear the Light of Knowledge. I still AM bewildered at the things that I say of which I never had spoken before. I Stand Alone against everything that the "Cross" represents. I'll get back.

but imagine if he pulled that off

Classic!!

You can feel the weight of that wave from the East Coast.

Ouch

I thought "getting pantsed" was some kind of cool surfer metaphor but...it was not

so the board just disintegrated I guess lol
