Wow...make all those other waves at the BWWT look tame.....that was a 20' wave off the take off......his ability really shows.......no panic on the take off........insane!!!

That takeoff...!

My god that is fucked up! He is the man.

Would of loved to see the one behind it too

Take-off was stupid, just hung on!!!

Ridiculous. The balls and talent. Amazing.

crazy. change vid settings to 1080p HD

well why dont they hold a big wave contest there,seems as though its consistently large and tubular and very watchable...as for Dorian,well what can you say, ballsy as hell and style to burn.

wave of the decade! so sic

Incredible...

SHUT THE GATES!

wow, we are just an amazing species. just read interview with shane and bless him, does this not as a glory ego thing but as one experiencing being a human that shows that life is to co create "miracle" moments. Thanks to life, the climate, the ocean, the board, the equipment, the people, including photographer, and thanks to allow all of us watchers to fully understand that life is amazing- let us share it and let us rejoice!!!

i know it's banal, but with a fucked up spine and now two dodgy shoulders, every wave is wave of the year. The crew that surf pedro branco(sp) are now showing what truly waves of the year now are. But against body pain and neurosurgeon advice, my straight speed line is a definite eye watcher, so youngy, my switch foot gloved mal mate behind the rock at snapper, think of me when you are shacked or shunted. surgery tomorrow, so swellnet legends, love it for me hey, any safe surf is better than none at all, my stoke lives with you all

Check these stills!!

The video they're taken from is here. Includes a short interview with Dorian. 

I swear they've photoshopped my takeoff style onto this thing. Who do I sue ?

Would love to see the arm gestures in the last shot in anything less than 15 foot.

You think that now. Wait till you finally see photos of yourself surfing and that's what your faced with. Gut wrenching .

wow. he basically fell the full height of the wave before putting weight back to the board.

Thats one steep mother,love shots 3 and 4,praise the lord.

Was in puerto a month or so ago, outrageously heavy.

SUPERMAN

If you look at shot 4 in the sequence by itself, it looks like the full old school soul arch claim loving the moment, not the battle for control/survival he was involved in during that drop.
I reckon you could pass that shot 4 off as michael ho at the bay, only thing missing is the big boil going up the face.

Quad fin gun ? all that's in the water on that drop is 4 fins.

Surfline has this footage in slow motion.

Wave of the year ? Or ride of the year ? Dorian wasnt in the Peru bwwt event but he surfed the same swell

dorians was tough but is brad domke as tough , he had one same size same day on a finless skim board, pic on stabmag

sabf ,

brad had no vest on either , craig , i wouldn't think one overshadows the other , we know shane made the wave , as opposed to the single still shot that Stab ran . i must admit i thought it was photoshopped when i first saw it ..... crazytown ....

It just blows me away Domke's skill......towed in and looking over the edge of a 3 storey building....then having to try and control and turn whats basically a piece of ply ,finless and no channels .....I want to see it from the water with my own eyes......no hope of that when its that size !

check out some of domke's footage on the stick aswell... blokes got some crazy skills riding anything

Domke's monster wave footage is on Inertia
this boy has to come down under and surf shippies or the right in W.A.
