Death Rites

🔥 “DEATH RITES” Back in May 2016, I filmed one of the heaviest days I’ve ever seen at The Right. As always, me and my camera took in the action from the jetski in my usual shooting spot in the channel — the only angle where you can truly see this wave stand up, mutate, and charge straight toward you. It’s a controlled position, but when The Right is doing its thing, every set feels like a hammer coming for the ski. This day was different. Bigger. Meaner. The kind of session where the horizon goes dark, the ocean draws off the reef, and the whole wave starts moving with the force of a freight train. From the channel you feel every detonation — the shockwaves, the spray blasts, the sound of each impact punching through the air seconds after the wave unloads. Some of this footage appeared in The Big Wave Project 1, but it never told the full story of how insane this day really was. The size. The violence. The wipeouts. The commitment. This edit finally shows it all. The lineup was stacked with some of the surfers who really understand The Right better than anyone: * Ryan Hipwood * Russell Bierke * Rudi Schwartz * Chris Ross * Benny Ruffus * Kerby Brown * Chris Shanahan * Mick Corbett * Jarryd Foster * Bradley Norris * Bodyboarders Brad Stone & Lewy Finnegan What unfolds here is 22 minutes of pure craziness — some of the biggest waves I’ve ever captured out there. Absolutely relentless. If you want to feel what it’s really like to sit in the channel with these slabbing walls coming straight toward the reef… this is as close as you’ll ever get without being in the water when DEATH RITES is being served.
