That end section is just nuts.
Great vid (cool track too).
Yeah the track was really good. What an insanely perfect wave (apart from the end section). And the colours! They just bounce off the screen.
As good a surfing vid as it gets. All time late take-offs and tube riding.
How the hell was the drop by Nate Behl at 3:10 and, even better, the one 4:25?! Fins kick totally sideways in the airdrop and handles it with aplomb.
His is better than any proper video section.
on the money there stu,he nailed it alright.
Kandui best ever : youtube
More filthy pits , Drone footage of the line up looks flawless.
Mind-blowingly deep tube riding at its absolute best with that end section that just wants to trap you and do some serious damage. All time........
that vid's given me a real reminder and insight into what real talent looks like in critical waves
Fat out that was a insane clip. Some of the best barrel surfing I've seen for a long time.
Apparently Craig Ando was there too, haven't seen any footage of him yet I think
Check this GF. Photo from Surfline by Iker San Martin.
Wow! There ya go.
Fuck how's the style on him
That wave is on Kandui best ever clip @ 2.45..frame by frame is unreal.
Looks weird like its almost not real…his board also looks super short.
You ever had Nokanduis pumping, ID?
No, I've surfed riffles good but I've never surfed No Kandui, a bit out of my league that wave especially backhand at that size, i love barrels and Indo but I'm no charger I would have been finding a hidy hole if i was in the area on this swell or i would have been getting over to Telescopes or those other protected lefts if the wind was SE as it looks like it was.
Magic...
Yeh saw that..absolutely flying.
Is it the best wave in Indo?World? Would have to be close.
I guess it would be up there with the best, definitely the island would take the tittle for best right-Left combo of any small island in the world, plus throw in half a dozen more fun waves in the mix for the icing on the cake.
And not a Gopro insight!
Twas a Gopro in nearly everymouth
Some super stylish, super-critical surfing going down there. The colour of the water, wow.
Music credits? I didn't see any. Who was it?
And yes, stu, I was gobsmacked by the late-take-off air drop tail side at 4.25. How the hell did he make that, and make it look easy?
Snake in the grass - The Black Angels
Thanks plasm. Very Smiths like tune.
Such good technique by all these guys, super-critical take-offs, paddle in, stay low, grab rail, wait till you get near the bottom of the wave before standing. Have to keep that in the memory banks, not that I will ever be surfing that, but good technique for anything moderately steep over 4'.
Where are all the hipsters when the waves are actually pumping?
Cycling and sipping lattes in StKilda where else.
Stu , goofy , udo .
My mate was there and don't worry ando although not really featured much in these videos did get his share plus many more .
Looking at it at this size it really looks like P Pass in a mirror , not quite as blue , obviously longer , but just as deadly on the inside /end section .
Same mate got fed his own arse at Rifles . Haha
Wharfie , way more hipsters Nth side of Melbourne , but your generally right most of Melbourne sucks balls .
Some of the best surfing, that is incredible
Just watched it, incredible clip and tune!
Is it the new DP ? I have never seen more than the odd rare bit of evidence of this wave
Craig Anderson was supposedly riding a 5'4" Hyptokrypto out there which he ended up snapping ..his back up step up he then surfed was a 5'9" !
5'4'' on those waves, of course.
He is a freak.
how much do you reckon Ando weighs 60 -65 ? height 5' 8 - 5'10 ?
Think I read he got 4 waves total or some bullshit . Definitely not for personal pleasure but the sponsors . Others may have caught 40-60 waves if the board could actually paddle into them with ease
Interesting comment caml. I owned a HK for about two months. Really liked it, in some ways, and found it good to paddle out to the waves, but had to get rid of it as I kept missing waves I thought I should be getting. Have a few theories about that.
Or was your comment more along the lines of just trying to paddle into the waves on such a short board, not a HK in particular?
None of the guys in the clips seem to be using long gun type boards, IIRC, and most I would guess around the 6' 6'' mark. Anyone got any ideas on what the normal (and successful) surfers on this clip were riding, length wise?
Just out of interest generally. What they are doing doesn't apply to me. :-)
I think I read that Craig Anderson said while he was riding a 5"4' HK, there were a lot of guys riding 6'1"s and 6'3" step ups.
All seems tiny to me.
Great song. Absolutely incredible surfing. I certainly agree with stu - Nate Behl.... wow!
I surfed this wave a couple of times in 2013 at 3-5ft . Even at that size, its easily the most scary spot I've ever surfed. So fast and just keeps grinding, leaving you behind most of the time.... Just thinking about it at 10-12ft + is horrifying. I didn't expect the end section to mutate like that either. Lots of respect to those charging - those conditions are light years away from my comfort levels.
Safe to say that the equipment the featured surfers rode less than 6"1 boards .I didnt mean to say a hypto crypto was at fault .just meaning all small boards when it comes to big period swells . A few of the kandui clips showed waves peeling for 40 yards before a surfer took off .
Would of loved to see jjf out there
caml what size shooter would you have rode at kandui that swell
I reckon that at that very time of day when ando is on that thing thats mad . Yeah boogyboard sesh would be sick . No ds sorry
