What the heck, that photographer is a legend to. Swimming out there in that. I reckon they are crazier than the surfers they filming. They sitting in the impact zone the whole time.

The fact that you stood up till the end, made the sick shoot, but you put yourself in a sketchy situation. Well done

Great story well told! Glad you were relatively unscathed considering what could have been. That wave does look absolutely massive in the photo. I mean, you don’t impress me as being a small guy so you can tell from that one photo where you’re relatively unrighteousness how much taller the wave is.

Thank you for your story of all the wipeout stories that I've heard on KZread yours gave me a feeling of what I went through it's not fun. Stay calm. Stay safe.

I have surfed some biggish waves and always remember thinking or saying as I paddled into them, it's death or glory, and sometimes death is closer than you would like to realise. A great example of total commitment and understanding that this may be the wave of your life, hats off to you Matt, I am impressed that you chose a big one then took off and made the drop. I hope you have many big waves left in you, well done.

Golly how scary, with all the jet skis flying in to rescue you, float jackets and safety equipment, it must be the 3rd most important thing on your mind. Lastly earthquakes, are you fucking kidding me? Try surfing blind, in 1988 when a monster bomb swell maxes out the entire south bay, only guys surfing are Ted Robinson and Joey Buran out at Cable Cars mile outside out of El Porto.. we paddled out at Old Mans, and the fog was so thick, we thought we were on the outside, and then hoots and hollers from way way outside come in, my friend Connell and I, looked at each other and we paddled our 6' 8" DJ Spyder Boards by Pat Reardon for the horizon and out of the fog come 20 Foot white water! We bailed our boards and dove, the whitewater snapped my leash, my friend Connell his leash held and I swam to him and would not let go. He panicked, I pannicked, but the rest of the sets whitewater washed us into shore, as San Onofre, breaks out a solid mile Plus, back in those days, there were no helmets, gear or even jet skis, you were on your own, and safety was #1, on your list of things to do, I clamped onto a buddy who was floating and would not let go.. I never would have been able to swim a mile plus, in 20-25 foot bombed out inside 3 foot foam, in zero visibility. Yes, wrong move? Stupid, but today, they would be dropping off lattes to the guys in the lineup on "skis bra" with oxygen tanks and supplements and hooker hand jobs on the boats in the channel for those who are anxious. Different decade, era and breed of surfers vs. nowadays..

Yes I got pushed down into a crevasse on a reef break in WA.it wasn’t that big but I could feel a ledge pressing against the front of my upper thighs, I tried to push off the bottom but my leg rope was snagged on something, so I didn’t go anywhere. I panicked so much that I kicked so hard with my leg rope leg, and snapped the leg rope and then surfaced. That was the strength the panic gave me.I came in totally traumatised and it wasn’t even that big!
