On the windsurfing wipeouts, the wipeout about 50secs in, i wonder if that guy ever came back up. That wave looks immense

Yeah, it's quite a famous one that... Anders Bingdal at Jaws... And he did get out of it alive.

@jaws, thought that wave looked familiar. One of the heaviest waves in the world and the guys taking a pole and sail out with him

Fair play, its a pretty awesome looking wipeout

Makes my stunt look rather tame the other week, but at least they had more water.

The whole pole thing in those waves though! Think I will stick to ladies and poles.
