Whoa. This video by cinematographer Chris Bryan was shot using the Phantom HD Gold camera and shows mammoth waves in super slo-mo at Teahapoo on the southwest of Tahiti. According to Bryan, “The French Navy labeled this day a double code red prohibiting and threatening to arrest anyone that entered the water.” Clearly that was not heeded on this day. 

This is some eye candy, perfectly matched with music by M83.

Notable: Wow. Seriously. Wow.

Riding a 90 foot wave off the coast of Portugal

Via the Surfer Today:

Garrett McNamara has surfed what is considered to be the biggest wave ever. The Hawaiian big wave rider caught the huge monster in Praia do Norte, Nazaré, Portugal, during the ZON North Canyon Project 2011…

…”Everything was perfect, the weather, the waves. Cotty and I surfed two big waves of about 60 feet and then, when Garrett was ready came a canyon wave of over 90 feet. The jet ski was the best place to see him riding the biggest wave I’ve ever seen. It was amazing. Most people would be scared, but Garrett was controling everything in the critical part of the wave. It was an inspiring ride by an inspiring surfer”, says Al Mennie.
