This video so sick for so many reasons. To begin, the very first wave is mental. It’s quite certain that most people wouldn’t be walking away from a pounding like that.
Then, there’s all of the the waves that cold water slab charger, Patch Wilson makes with (what certainly looks like) no worries at all. The difficulty level of surfing spots like these is almost unfathomable to the normal person, not to mention that Mr. Wilson scores some bonus sections when even the best surfers on the planet would have already kicked out. But, fortune favors the bold after all. To just have made one of these waves would make any normal surfer’s lifetime. Good on ya, Patch. This video is really sick.
