One a wild, windy day at North Canyon he is whipped into a beast by Garrett McNamara that goes on to be touted by some of the world's media as the biggest wave ever surfed. In the end, he doesn't scoop the prestigious Billabong XXL Award - there were bigger waves surfed last winter. But more important is Andrew's own take on events that day: with a brutally honest post-surf interview he demonstrates a hunger and humility that should leave no one in doubt as to why he is one of the most respected big wave surfers on the planet today.

  1. All I can say is the following: I am fifty years old. I am working 50 plus hours a week. I have surfed a big chunk of my life. I am proud that I have done it. I am a surfer. The ocean will always be my home. I am a surfer, and I am still stoked, brah'!
  2. Wow!!
    Unbelievable courage.
    Amazing VDO!
    Nazaré👌🏻.
  3. Rubbish!
  4. Brave, brave men!
  5. I don't think tow-in (pulled by jet sky) surfing should be compared to paddle in. When you tow-in to a wave you are already moving at a high speed as you enter the wave. That makes it much easier to get around (or get past) the most critical part of the wave and reach the shoulder (which is a much less dangerous section of the wave).
    Yes, it's still incredible surfing waves that large, but I have more respect for guys that paddle into waves.
    Personally the biggest waves I've ridden were around 15 ft (20 ft face) on the Pacific coast of Mexico. So I definitely respect what he's doing and understand the dangers.
  6. just Nimble it and move on..
  7. I've taken a severe beating in 8-10' waves. I simply cannot imagine the experience of taking off on a hundred foot wave. Simply unimaginable.
  8. Stupid................
  9. Big wave riders of his Calibre have a look in there eyes deep and dark,not in an evil way,just they have been to deaths door stared death in the face! laughed at him :D and survived his icy grip with there fathomless courage and fearless grip on lifes majesty :D Peace ! I fear drowning in a rip but i swim ever day near them! He's probably one of the bravest men to ever live on this planet to do what he did that day "Respect"!

  16. He did not win the XXL but looks like biggest wave I have ever seen on all of YouTube. I wish the XXL would have shown them measure the competing waves. No matter what the case, 1st or 2nd place, it is still an amazing life accomplishment to ride a wave that big.
