You don't want to miss this exclusive edit from Fiji's mega swell.
The reports said they would be some of the biggest waves ever to hit Cloudbreak, so we sent a legendary crew there to document - and ride - history.
Ever since the historic June 2012 swell at Cloudbreak in Fiji, big wave surfers have pondered the possibilities of the one that got away. You know the one. Some have called it the 'unicorn wave.' Well, six years later, the unicorn showed its face once again.
Mark Healey takes off his leash at the last second, diving as deep as he can through the back of this translucent beast. A handful of other surfers frantically paddling for the shoulder. Meanwhile, Healey's board sits perfectly alone in the pitching lip, looking more like a toothpick than the 10-foot-plus chunk of fibreglass that it was.
Some have called it the 'unicorn wave.' Well, six years later, the unicorn showed its face once again - and perennial big-wave charger Ramon Navarro was on it.
While Navarro's bomb - which you can witness in this fresh edit above, by legendary big-wave filmer Tim Bonython - was the biggest of the day, it sure wasn't the only mind-blowing ride to go down. Guys like Kai Lenny, Natxo Gonzalez, Laurie Towner, Luke Shepardson, Kelly Slater, and others were there to make history. Click on the edit above to relive the greatest moments.

I literally cried after watching. After 30 years of surfing I was diagnosed 4 years ago with myotonic muscular dystrophy. In my mid-30s I was most comfortable in Big Surf.I now have the money to travel to the places I want to go to, but now I just get to watch. I've had big sessions at killers and sunset. So I'll take what I've been given.

Jetty1502 thanks for the wake up call. I am 24 and just got robbed almost $3k out of my backyard in assets (I have maybe 5k total in assets)- stoked they didn’t steal any boards. Going to remember this comment. Stay stoked man and that last statement you make is something I think we all could benefit from doing (take what we’re given, acceptance of the objectively factual but with a meant to be perspective/approach

Oh man, that's a tough one. I knew a girl with myotonic dystrophy, and she died at 13 just a few months ago. As I'm sure you've heard, there seems to be a cure in the works, I hope you get a chance to take advantage of it!

Why do all these videos have to be in slow motion? I would love to watch how fast this wave really is.

@@gasblowindev1537 Except at 1:50, 2:20 and 2:38 you see the surfers get to their feet having paddled in... Some big waves need a tow-in, but most of these appear not to be. As for the original post: I don't understand why these video makers don't show the real speed and then a slo-mo and why they have to drown it all out in heavy metal or the classical mash-up playing here.

That 2nd wave ridden by Shaun Lopez (?) is a BEHEMOTH. And both Danilo Cuoto and Luke Shepherdson get INSANE tube rides, but Danilo actually makes his... barely. Luke finally had to ride the foam ball. This clip is MEZMERIZING, thanks for posting!
Amazing. I been in 8- 12 foot surf and it was humbling.
That is some of the best surfing I have ever seen!!!
Still one of the top sessions ever!
Delighted to see these guys paddling in, something special about paddling into Giants!

Everyone in this vid who paddled got eaten alive. What is the point?
Wow the waves are giant indeed. Great video.
0:49 Don't think I've ever seen a better barrel, anywhere. 15 foot plus, clean, and he's slotted deep. For a long time.
Best surfing video I ever saw
filming in those swells looks like it would be so fun
Absolutely INSANE!
The best big wave to watch. It goes on and on and the barrel seems to grow the longer you charge. Incredible
Epic! Garrets a MONSTER.

Shepardson and McNamara got the deepest but paid the price. Shepardson's ride was INSANE
Insane footage
Absolutely incredible
Takes a lot of courage and skill to ride these waves
I wouldn't know whether it's the biggest but it's pretty bloody big! Respect for anyone who was out there
Great to see GMAC out there.
Tip for anyone about to watch: change to double playback speed and hit MUTE

This is the SAME wave that Tom Hanks tried to paddle over in CASTAWAY. Let that sink in😂
Stop it! Just Stop it! Paddle out , man up. Enough said. Awesome
Wow.
RedBull thinks everyone’s attention span is 3 seconds. Show the whole effing ride man
That's crazy
the paddlers.... woah.

Garret is parking it; as some surfers say. It would have been better if the dudes were not screaming the whole time. good stuff.

Yeah, like what could possible go wrong trying to kite surf that?!? Maybe getting the strings wrapped around your neck and asphyxiating under water. Is adding another layer of risk and complexity necessary in those conditions?
How was that G_Mac barrel.. ?! Siiiick !@!
Paddling and towing are different sports, you need to show them letting go of the rope so everyone can see. In this video, all the surfers that you didn't see paddle in towed except Luke.
Who was Ramón ?
Probably Yes , No Its definietly YESSSSSSSSS
Last wave was epic....he almost done it...
Biggest in our life time at least, who know whats coming !! Yeeeeww !!
is it snowing?
Does someone remember Lenay?
heavy sheeeeeet brah
and ramon navarro wave?
Any chance we can see it without the music and in normal speed?
F*****k that was amazing
Whys it always overcast at cloudbreak?
Great images. I wish people didn't put music on surf footage. It really does not need it.
i scared!!😅😅😅
I looked thru the dictionary and tried to find words that best describe these surfers and could not find any.
