I'm not a surfer but a skier and seeing airbags being mainstream, would this be an option for surfers to keep them afloat and just spin instead of be slammed down rocks?

@@cedric2516 they already have them. some come built into the wetsuit and its just a co2 cartridge that when ripped inflates airbags on the suit and keeps you afloat. pretty similar to the avalanche bags skiers and snowboarders use.

Those lifeguards are the real deal. Thanks for keeping em all safe!!
Been there on a smallish day, 4-5 feet. The power of the ocean on the north shore is insane. It's crazy to see it in person and how close to shore first reef breaks. I can't believe people charge it the way that they do every time it is hairy, especially with the crowd. It's hard to explain how gnarly surfing is at a spot like this given what lurks just beneath the surface.

There’s no swimming at that beach, you need a surf board to go in that water, super windy. The beach suddenly drops off, close to shore, so waves would hit clos, yeah.
Only because of the crowd in the line up. Plenty of more or as dangerous waves for sure.
It is dangerous indeed. But the crowd plays a huge role in the statistics. And the amount of people that risk themselves in tricky close out waves down the reef breaking in dangerous spot that should be avoided at all costs, just to get a picture of a surfing pipe experience is pretty mad.
2 types who surf pipe: those who’ve slammed the reef, & those who’ve yet to slam the reef.
i need more !!!!!
Well now we got that we just have to get koa Rothmann to wear a helmet too.😅🤙🏄 No but i agree, for its size, pipeline might be in the top rows of the most dangerous waves on the planet
i had no idea the water was that shallow, thought had to go to deep water to get those waves
@tann_man

That's how basically all surfs work. The sand banks/reefs displace the water as its pushes over them. The water is higher there because the sea bottom is higher. The height of the wave is usually where it's the most shallow.
No. Its the most surfed dangerous wave that. Thats why so many have died. Imagine if that many people surfed T Cave, or Cyclops, or Ours.

Sincere question: How could Pipe be more dangerous than Teahupoo or Shipsterns, etc. sans crowds?

that's what i thought. Maxxed out Teahupo'o is just the ocean folding on itself. its hard to think that it's less dangerous than pipe
@scotts7833

I think it's just that there are so many variables at pipe that other spots don't have. The difference in conditions/swells, getting stuck in caves, crazy rips that won't let you in or out, and sheer mass of surfers jockeying and pushing each other into more and more dangerous positions. Not that Teahupoo or Shipsterns aren't terrifying but those are also spots with channels and rescue skis right there. Pipe is chaos on any decent swell.

Yeah...like no JOB in a Red Bull video about Pipeline? WTF?
I watched the full video waiting to see Jamie..
the most accessible for sure
Not really but the number of surfers, reef involved and time it's been ridden equals highest ratio of injuries and death. For Cali surfers I am sure it's the most dangerous wave in the world, it's the closest good reef break to the west coast of America.
I've raced motorcycles, raced downhill mountain bikes, and did extreme backcountry snowboarding... nothing came closer to killing me and heavy water surfing. The ocean is trying to kill you and is unrelenting. Those who know, know.
Big wave surfing is so gnarly, might as well ride a fucking avalanche 😂

Filmed from US perspective... what they really mean when they say "most dangerous wave in the world" is "most dangerous place in the US".
Given that lifeguards are watching every drop, not the most dangerous. The most glamorized perhaps
Nazare enters the chat
One of the most crowded
It's no secret that Nazare is.
Teahupoo тоже хороша....
WTF is the point of the first pink letters in the middle of the screen in the best moment????? COMEON !!!!
If Kate bosworth can surf it, I can too!
If as many people surfed The Right in Western Australia as pipeline the death toll/injury toll would be horrific.
Be careful kids.
dont forget nazare
Tahiti most dangerous
Is it even a question? I think it 100% has the most recorded deaths, and knocks out the most people.
Americans being hero's. Great for making a movie yeah?
Pipe, Chopes and The Wedge have killed or paralyzed more surfers than any other waves.
For the Pros not the fools
The answer to that question is….NO….come spend a winter in Ireland 🇮🇪 Il show you dangerous waves….pipe’s in the limelight and full of locals and traveling surfers so of course there’s going to be more injuries.. If there was 100 people surfing Riley‘s every day all winter there would be just as many injuries🤙🏼🇮🇪💯%
If you are a regular of these kinds of reefs you will be scarred head to toe. I wear a helmet or hoodie every time I'm out. Your crazy not to.
By the numbers of people who have died there. YES.
regarding the wave itself, the answer is no. There are a lot of regulary surfed spots in the world much more dangerous than Pipeline
No it's not the most dangerous. It's a nice shaped wave but far from the most dangerous.
No.!
How does RedBull do a video on Pipeline and the dangers of surfing Pipeline and not have Jamie O'Brien, F'ing JOB in the video? Seriously? WTF! He literally lives steps away and is one of RedBull's most famous surfing athletes and is one of the best to ever surf Pipe. Almost every pro is this video has gone to JOB for knowledge on Pipe. Where is JOB...

Jesus died on the cross for your sins he became sin so you would be forgiven!! We have all sinned but it we repent of our sins and ask Jesus who is the son of God into our hearts your forgiven. He actually says he throws away your sins into a sea of forgetfulness isnt that amazing!! He is returning soon and he wants to take you with him but most of all he wants to have a relationship with you so just say this Jesus i am a sinner wash me in your blood forgive me of my sins set me free and encounter me!! Jesus is calling you today please answer he loves you so very muchb
