Great video of some massive north shore surf along with some big wipeouts.

The guys over at http://www.standuppaddlesurf.net/ posted this awesome video of Ekolu Kalama at Sunset Beach on the North Shore. With a good 20′ swell and epic conditions, he tears it up on his SUP paddle board.

Now that we’re on the home stretch of the winter north swells, I was digging through some youtube surf videos and found this gem. Great clips of pipe and others from the north shore. A few clips from Teahupoo as well. Enjoy!

This video showcases the power and insanity of the Waimea shore break. How these guys survive this is beond me. It is an excerpt from “Island Fever”, a surf movie that was never published.

Laforet Visuals has released another amazing HD video from their filming sessions on the north shore. See the full HD video here.

Just a day after I created what is probably the worst surf video ever made (gotta start somewhere right?), I stumbled across the most amazing piece of surf footage I’ve ever seen in my existence. There is a film crew at pipeline over the next week or two with the best state-of-the-art HD video equipment known to man, getting unreal footage of Jamie O’Brien, a well known pipeline surfer who is taking surfing to new levels.

Smugmug has sponsored Vincent Laforet and his company to get this footage and post the results using Smugmug’s excellent online HD video capabilities.

The first clip they came out with is of Jame O’Brien taking a monster back door wave, then switching his stance while in the tube. Never before have you seen such crisp quality in a surf video, and it really gives you a feel for how critical this wave is.

Be sure to watch the full HD version of this video!
