Slow motion surfing on big ass waves

This is Chris Bryan's latest video. This, more than other slow motion surfing videos shot on a Phantom, scared the shit out of me. There's something so menacing about waves so big moving so slowly. Good use of M83 on the soundtrack.





This day at Teahupoo- Aug 27th 2011 during the Billabong Pro waiting period is what many are calling the biggest and gnarliest Teahupoo ever ridden. Chris Bryan was fortunate enough to be there working for Billabong on a day that will go down in the history of big wave surfing. The French Navy labeled this day a double code red prohibiting and threatening to arrest anyone that entered the water.
Kelly Slater described the day by saying "witnessing this was a draining feeling being terrified for other people's lives all day long, it's life or death. Letting go of that rope one time can change your life and not many people will ever experience that in their life."
