This is simply terrifying to be absolutely honest. Yes, the 1000 Frames per second footage is beautiful and the music is trippy and amazing, but the bottom line is that the waves these guys were catching this day, are scary, horrible, mutant monster waves that would rather kill you than let you make them. So happy Friday 13th, get your freak on...
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." All images where shot by Chris Bryan using the Phantom HD Gold camera.
