Love the girly screams from the peanut gallery as Ramon's threading the biggest barrel on record.
simbaSunday, 27 May 2018 at 8:20pm
Now thats impressive.......cant imagine the view hes got
simbaSunday, 27 May 2018 at 8:21pm
So whats the swell prediction for tomoz?
stunetSunday, 27 May 2018 at 8:24pm
Similar size as this afternoon, although maybe a smidge under, but winds could present an issue.
CraigSunday, 27 May 2018 at 8:25pm
Still XXL in morning, likely touch smaller than today, and winds are the tricky ones.
Dawn looks good, and the models diverge on a tropical low moving in from the west. EC has winds going onshore from mid-late morning, while GFS has it good all day.
Let's hope for the latter!
Island BayMonday, 28 May 2018 at 4:43am
Latest GFS run has the tropical low tracking pretty much right across Fiji. Raining, and possibly iffy winds. With a bit of luck there'll still be S/SE winds.
That wave of Ramon's is incredible. Hoping to see some paddle bombs soon, and that Laurie Towner got one.
therealneilSunday, 27 May 2018 at 8:23pm
Please sir can we have some more?and more?and more?#cantgetenoughofthisshit
campbellSunday, 27 May 2018 at 8:31pm
Sick! If keramas was 6ft today (as called) in that comp how big is this? Viva Ramon
simbaSunday, 27 May 2018 at 9:07pm
wonder how Kellys cymatic went.
dangerouskook2000Tuesday, 29 May 2018 at 8:28pm
Probably shit coz it looks like a fucked board.
t-diddySunday, 27 May 2018 at 9:10pm
could've been deeper...totally kooked it
freeride76Sunday, 27 May 2018 at 9:28pm
My God.
Was it tow only or did anyone paddle in?
lostdoggySunday, 27 May 2018 at 9:36pm
Seemed to be both happening.
udoMonday, 28 May 2018 at 7:49am
Laurie Towner rode a 8'6 .
udoSunday, 27 May 2018 at 9:32pm
Anthony Walsh was looking into his GoPro while riding a 8'8.
ojackojackoSunday, 27 May 2018 at 10:03pm
much prefer the wide shot without slo-mo. gives a much better sense of what it was actually like, tho watching video on a phone can’t even begin ... just insane
tangoSunday, 27 May 2018 at 10:11pm
my lovely surfing wife usually ho-hums when I try and get her to watch the good clips of the big stuff....but she was speechless watching this. Hope nobody got hurt - that wave would cut you in two at that size.

#betterthanlairds ramon navarro you are king
ClamMonday, 28 May 2018 at 1:35am
Couldn't have been a better man to ride that wave.
Almost as big as the unridden one. it certainly double thickened, seriously mutant !
Im wondering why he pulled off ? His board looked skittery , maybe he was jittery after that history making ride
stevo777Monday, 28 May 2018 at 2:41am
Much energy there ... imagine blowing the take off ha!
Lots of impressive rides on beautiful waves. Spoiler alert: Ramon's is the last one, and fuq me if your jaw doesn't drop!
WyreMonday, 28 May 2018 at 3:25pm
Wow. I loved Ramon's smile at the end of that. It was cool to see the relationship between the tower/towee. And he was the right guy to get the bomb: Unassuming older hell-man done good!
simbaMonday, 28 May 2018 at 6:46am
Yeah great waves, gutsy surfing and that last wave a fair bit bigger than the others .....love old mate in the yellow wettie having a go........brave men......even Kelly had a 9ft cymatic out ...not.
hillsintasMonday, 28 May 2018 at 6:47am
AMAZING...........
In space no none can hear you scream.
Imagine the noise levels of the thump & spit.
Amazing, crazy!... shit the place is a wave of consequence at 4-6ft.... imagine Restaurants at the same time....... that's where i'd want to be!!!
goofyfootMonday, 28 May 2018 at 11:11am
So is it safe to say that waves like Ramons and the one Healey had to swim under a few years ago are un-paddleable?
Watching the pulled back clip of Ramons it looks incredibly difficult to see how a 8'0 or 9'0 board would fit into the curve of that wave on the take off
Loz Towner is going good by the looks of the media released the last 2 days .
Maybe hes up for an invite to the bwt events hey udo ?
ClamTuesday, 29 May 2018 at 2:53pm
The swell had not even peaked yesterday arvo going by the forecasts .
Thru the night what would have been coming through CB
How much bigger did it actually get ?
Seymour ScagnettiMonday, 28 May 2018 at 11:51am
Holy Shit !..... Do these guys tape their ears back like rugby players? Ramon's wave looks like the spit could rip your ears off!
Not to mention what that foamball might do to your limbs!...
Fuck!
mredhillMonday, 28 May 2018 at 11:59am
This stuff is WAY more impressive than Nazare at triple the size. Can't wait to see the inevitable video/movie.
loungelizardMonday, 28 May 2018 at 3:46pm
the navarra wave does the thing the cloudbreak unridden wave from 2012 did that healy said he'd never seen a wave do before, where it looks like the foam ball dissects under the face of the wave , moving so fast it gets ahead of the barrel. if someone has a better (correct?) interpretation of whats happening i would be interested to hear
frotherMonday, 28 May 2018 at 6:53pm
It's incredible that it can handle such huge swells, such a mind-blowing wave!
wax-on-danielsonTuesday, 29 May 2018 at 2:11pm
Forget the CT they should make Ramon 2018 world champion of all surfing

Funny how the dude in the orange jacket is not looking ......
Finally! I've been checking my phone every half hour all day. The swell is HUMONGOUS AND Purrrrfect.....now to relax and let the clips roll
Almost as good uplift at blax
And a wider angle of Ramon's bomb!
absolutely ridiculous!
