Those crowds are just insane. There are easily 100 guys out clogging the lineup in the first minute. What is interesting, is that it is slightly bigger at 1:00 and there are two guys out. Looks like early AM, but damn, I would get out there at 4am to have it with a couple other heads.
Anyone know how much those little drones are costing these days? Looks like the same one being used in that Bahama video.
contest day, King Kelly on his backhand? while epic footage and waves, music makes me sad for 'kids these days'
Good point. Didn't look like jerseys on in that first clip, but in the second wave you see him hop over the back and there is clearly a red rash guard on a guy... Too good to be true. I mean, there are 250 guys on the south peak at blacks when its head high, so I can't even imagine what the best wave in the world looks like on a Saturday in the winter.... Man... I would wait in the lineup all day just to snag one of those bastards. Such a perfect wave in the right conditions.
Or, I guess the proper call would be to wait until the end of a heat and B-line out to the peak and drop into the first bomb that came before the next guys got out or the "Da Hui" got me... Then I would be quickly escorted to the airport and asked not to return to the North Shore... EVER. but it would be worth it.
The guy gets completely axed at 3.19. Probably one of those times he wished he had a wetsuit on just to hold his body parts together.
