Matahi. Owning. He gets every wave he wants. What a life. Some pure perfection. Been waiting to see the makes. Heavy perfection. Paddling bombs . Heavy crowd. Commitment epic. Riding Aussie dyl boards hope Hurley are paying him. Masterclass. Ackermans beating is gnarly. Psyched for this week to unfold.

Music is a nice change from a certain Australian big wave producer

That is amazing. How cool is that guy. Great surfing in serious waves.
That's the real deal.
Loved the music, loved the slow mo.

Geez, he goes okay eh? That “sit down” foiling at the end was surreal, so laid back, levitating in waves of consequence. Brilliant.

That is about the best forehand barrel riding display I’ve ever seen. It’s unfathomable the way in which he sticks those drops.
Love how the clip gradually ascends from playful, ‘I reckon I could surf that’ beginnings to psycho, ‘nah I’m fine floating 100m over here in the channel (whilst aqua turding)’ finale.
His brother would be so proud.

AMAZING

Oh no!! Someone changed the music track on the first half of the clip. I hope it wasn’t some copyright bully move, because that earlier track was a magical fit before being removed. Live and let live a bit!! There really is more to life that way!

I know how stoked I get when I get a few good waves I can’t imagine the level of stoked he gets.. and five times more waves and each one mind blowing too .. great clip ..

Are those boards Predators or LaurieTowner Pro's?
BnkrefThursday, 16 Jun 2022 at 8:20pm
In one of the scenes (with his boards) I think I saw the Predator logo

More reasons why I prefer Vicco.

Commitment. Unreal clip.

Not a fan of claims, but that arms crossed in the tube inside one of the heaviest waves going, which also happens to be down the road from his house, is pretty damn impressive. How could you not give him every wave he wants haha.

A note on the foiling as well... once up on the foil, in bigger waves, too much speed appears to limit how high they can get on the wall, and how deep. Perhaps a foil with articulation somewhere the surfer could manipulate, similar to a dynamic wing on a supercar, could help them slow it down that fraction to help avoid the nose diving into the bottom of the wave?
SIMonday, 13 Jun 2022 at 9:59am
Haha, I wouldn’t be asking to slow down too much or drag too much on that wave!!

What an epic watch. Old mate rips!! So in-tune with that wave. 2-3 paddles and then casually into the beast. Loved watching his foot work. So good!!

Must be an amazing feeling to know you’ve got that place wired. Well as wired as anyone. Even he still cops a flogging.
Noticed Russ B was right next to him on take off a few times.

Wow!
Might I ask - why sitting on the foil? Not standing? Looks ridic casual in wave of consequence.
Max WaxWednesday, 15 Jun 2022 at 2:00pm
That was insane!

Did they clear the lineup for him to foil or what?
Seems like it was empty for that sesh.
