Why You Should NEVER Surf Here - Even Pros Think Twice - video Dailymotion

Bright Side

Some surfing spots are so intense, even the pros hesitate before paddling out. 🌊 Take Teahupo’o in Tahiti, for example—it’s home to waves so heavy and hollow they’ve been nicknamed “liquid freight trains.” Over in California, Mavericks serves up monstrous waves that can hit 60 feet, with frigid waters and rocky bottoms waiting to greet you if you wipe out. Pipeline in Hawaii might look like a dream, but its fast, barreling waves break over sharp coral reefs, making it one of the most dangerous surf spots in the world. And let’s not forget the Pororoca in the Amazon—a tidal wave that rips through rivers for miles, dragging along debris like logs and crocodiles. 🌪️ Surfing these spots isn’t just about skill—it’s about facing nature’s raw power and hoping it lets you walk away unscathed! 🏄‍♂️  Animation is created by Bright Side. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Music from TheSoul Sound: https://thesoul-sound.com/   Check our Bright Side podcast on Spotify and leave a positive review! https://open.spotify.com/show/0hUkPxD34jRLrMrJux4VxV   Subscribe to Bright Side: https://goo.gl/rQTJZz  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Social Media: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/brightside  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brightside.official TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brightside.official?lang=en   Stock materials (photos, footages and other): https://www.depositphotos.com https://www.shutterstock.com https://www.eastnews.ru ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  For more videos and articles visit: http://www.brightside.me

00:00Did you know there's a guy who rode on a wave for 7.5 miles? It was accomplished by Brazilian

00:06surfer Picarudo Salazar in 2004. Just for comparison, Central Park in New York extends

00:13for a mere 2.5 miles. That was the Pororoco wave, and it can only be surfed for 3 days

00:20a year. It's pretty powerful, so it sort of pushes you. But there are definitely some

00:25tough spots where it's not that easy to catch waves.

00:29If you're looking for the gnarliest surf spot, Pipeline in Hawaii is where it's at.

00:35But beware, it's not for the faint of heart. This place is known for its massive waves

00:40that can reach up to 20 feet tall. And did we mention the shallow reef? Yeah, wipeouts

00:46here can result in some serious injuries or worse, you might end up sleeping with a fish.

00:51The waves at Pipeline are also super unpredictable, so you never know what you're going to get.

00:57It's like a box of chocolates, except instead of chocolate, it's huge waves that could crush

01:02you like a bug. But hey, if you're feeling brave, the annual Billabong Pipemasters competition

01:09is held there every winter. Just make sure to bring your A-game and a change of underwear.

01:14Even the most experienced surfers approach Pipeline with caution and respect. It's like

01:20trying to tame a wild animal – one wrong move, and you're toast. Or dinner.

01:25So if you're ready to ride the gnarliest waves in the world, come on down to Pipeline.

01:31Just don't say we didn't warn you. For those who are dreaming California, there's

01:36a tough spot in the Golden State for you. Mavericks is notorious for its massive swells

01:41and strong currents, making it a challenge even for experienced surfers. Hold on tight

01:47cause this wave is gonna take you for a ride. First off, let's get one thing straight

01:52– Mavericks ain't for the weak. This bad boy can reach heights of up to 60 feet. But hey,

01:58if you're a seasoned surfer and you're feeling brave, then Mavericks is the place to be.

02:04Located just off the coast of Half Moon Bay, this spot is known for its massive swells and

02:09killer waves. It's like the Hulk of surf spots – big, bold, and ready to smash. Now, don't go

02:16thinking that Mavericks is all about the waves. Oh no, my friend. This spot is also home to

02:22some of the coolest surfers around. These dudes and dudettes live for the rush of catching a

02:27Maverick wave, and they'll do whatever it takes to get out there. But here's the thing – Mavericks

02:33isn't just about surfing. It's also about community. These surfers have each other's backs,

02:39and they know that when they're out there on those massive waves, they're all in it together.

02:44It's like a big, salty family. So there you have it, folks. Mavericks – the wildest,

02:50most insane surf spot in California. If you're up for the challenge, grab your board and head

02:55on out. Just remember, when you're staring down a 60-foot wall of water, it's okay to scream like

03:01a little girl. We won't judge. Chupo in Tahiti also has some of the heaviest waves in the world,

03:08breaking over a shallow reef and creating intense barrel rides. First of all, the name itself is a

03:15mouthful. It's pronounced Chupo, and it means broken skulls in Tahitian. Yeah, you heard that

03:21right. Broken skulls. The waves at Chupo are massive and can reach up to 23 feet high and

03:27break over a shallow reef, which creates a super powerful wave that can barrel for hundreds of

03:33yards. And if you wipe out, well, let's just say you'll be getting up close and personal with that

03:39reef. It's like a cheese grater for your skin. So make sure you bring some band-aids and a good

03:45insurance policy. But hey, if you're up for the challenge, Chupo is one of the most epic surf

03:51spots in the world. However, I hope you're going to choose a much safer spot. If you're looking for

03:57some cool waves but don't want to risk your life, then you gotta check out these safe surfing spots

04:03around the world. First up, we got Waikiki Beach in Hawaii. This spot is perfect for beginners

04:09and pros alike with consistent waves and a sandy bottom. Plus, there are lifeguards on duty to keep

04:16an eye out for any trouble. Next, there's Bondi Beach in Australia. This iconic beach is known

04:22for its beautiful scenery and chill vibes, but it also has some great waves for surfing. The water

04:28is shallow, and there are plenty of surf schools around to teach you the ropes, or in this case,

04:33the boards. But if you're looking for something a little more exotic, head over to Nocera in Costa

04:40Rica. This spot has warm water, consistent waves, and a laid-back atmosphere. Plus, the locals are

04:47super friendly and will welcome you with open arms. Last but not least, there's Musenberg Beach

04:53in South Africa. This spot has some of the most consistent waves in the world, but they're not

04:58too big or dangerous. Plus, there are shark spotters on duty to keep you safe from any

05:04unwanted attention from local carnivores. But no matter how safe the spot is, you're still gonna

05:11need some cool life hacks to bring your surfing to a brand new level. Have you ever wondered why

05:16surfers use wax on their boards? Well, let me tell you, it's not just for show. See, when you're out

05:23there shredding the gnar, you don't want to slip and slide all over the place like a penguin on

05:28ice. That's where the wax comes in. Basically, the wax creates a grip on the board so you can stick

05:34to it like peanut butter on bread. Without it? But here's the thing, not all wax is created equal.

05:41You gotta find the right kind for your board and the water conditions. It's like choosing the right

05:46flavor of ice cream for your cone. You don't want to end up with mint chocolate chip when you really

05:51wanted rocky road. So, next time you see a surfer waxing up their board, just remember they're not

05:57doing it for the smell. Although some waxes do smell pretty sweet. They're doing it so they

06:02don't wipe out and embarrass themselves in front of all the folks on the beach. And that's worth

06:07its weight in gold. And by the way, did you know that rubbing a little bit of wax on the bottom of

06:13your feet can give you a better grip on your board? Yeah, it's like magic. No more slipping

06:18and sliding around like a seal on a wet rock. Another common hack is to wear earplugs. You see,

06:25there's even a condition called surfer's ear. Surfers are constantly exposed to cold wind and

06:31water, and some of them even surf in cold temperatures. If your ears are constantly

06:36exposed to cold, your ear canal may shrevel up. As a consequence, water, wax, you, and even air

06:44all get trapped in your ear, which may lead to certain infections. So, to prevent water and

06:49cold air from getting trapped in their ears, pro surfers like to use earplugs. But even if you're

06:55just a newbie, you gotta use their tip. Oh, and here's another classic. If you're surfing in cold

07:01water and don't have a wetsuit hood, just rub some petroleum jelly on your ears to keep them warm.

07:08Hey, why do you think some surfers have clear nail polish on their emergency kits?

07:12It's not for their nails, but for their boards. So, if you're dealing with a stubborn ding in

07:18your board, grab some clear nail polish and fill in the crack. It'll keep water from seeping in

07:23and causing more damage. However, pros will say that nail polish is a terrible idea,

07:29and there are a lot of repair kits out there. Yeah, this one's up to you.

07:34So, there you have it, my fellow wave riders! Now go out there and shred those gnarly waves

07:39like the pro you are! That's it for today! So, hey, if you pacified your curiosity,
