The Inertia

You may remember this clip from last year, but it’s worth a second watch. Early in June of 2013, this ridiculously large swell slammed into Tahiti and turned Teahupoo into its usual terrifying self – that is, a backless, sucking monster with no regard for human life. So what’s more entertaining than having not one but TWO hellmen throwing themselves over the ledge and sharing a barrel a Mac truck could fit through? Well, maybe three hellmen, but two’s pretty alright.

This is Garrett McNamara (the one who puts himself on spin cycle) and Mark Healey (the one who escapes without his life flashing before his eyes).
