    • What...

      you don't think people actually surf storms. They do. Sometimes only once.

    • idiots to actually think...

      that that was real

      By hildickubeast 1147117377
    • why wouldn't you?

      It looks real enough to fool the eye (especially with the quality). If you don't know it's an advertisment you could pass that off as real.

    • aaaaaaa

      i think it's true, maybe it's bullshit, but i don't think so ;)

      scary

    • your dumb

      T.V. is all about the suspension of reality. Do you really think that there is a Superman? No but it's entertainment just like this is so stop taking life so serious and just admit this is still an amazing clip...fake or not.

    • You stupid F**k ,

      Whats so "amazing" if its fake?! the guy didnt really surf that wave |:

      Its like editing a picture in photoshop adding a clowns head to a F**king snake and saying "I dont care if its real or not, its amazing!".

      By Bogy 1146214121
    • Ya right

      Yes I agree with you.Its not amazing.A man cannot really surf in such terrible storm.

    • Fake You're Dumb You Stupid F**k !!!

      Forget the video or the wave it's your comments that are beautiful. Just these three previous titles are like poetry! Hey, how about "Go F**k yourself you dumb fake F**ker !"

      By MichaelS333 1146286773
    • Your the dumb ass

      No S**t it's fake you dumb queer but that is still a cool clip, besides if you think it's so fake and stupid, why would your dumb ass finish watching it let alone voice your retarded ass opinion....

    • Edited the logo out

      This is another of those idiotic commercials where they go to extremes to exaggerate the conditions, then show the logo and slogan at the end. People keep editing the last parts out and submitting them as real video. Just like the Toyota Tundra getting struck by the meteor.

      Note the "DO NOT ATTEMPT" in black lettering at the bottom of the ad. The company that makes PowerAde wanted to make sure they covered their asses in case anyone drank a jug of powerade and then attempted this moronic stunt.

  • Real

    this video is real the guy commentating it was just put in. They asked him if they could use the video footage for a pwerade commercial and he said yes, for some money i dont know how much. look it up. the guy is a surfer freak looking for bigger than normal waves he can just catch.

    By eriatarka 1144928486
  • BELIEVE IT

    It is real!!!!!! If you doubt it you obviously have no idea what is being accomplished in surfing at the present day. Waves with faces upwards of 70ft on the face have been ridden. Waves the size on the footage don't need an offshore wind to be clean, they move at about 80 kp/h and can give the impression the conditions are offshore, even when they are not. Oh and by the way, white water has just as much momentum in it as the un-broken face

    By no1 kook 1143391921
  • not real

    i have seen people surf in tsunami weather in indonesia on the island called gilitrawangan...i tried it too...the waves were 12ft..the biggest one was 14 1/2ft at least...2 people died...i almost did too...even the strongest swimmer has no way of surviving...people just get lucky and live to tell the tale.

    By surfingmushroom 1195179471
  • Hoaxxxx of course.

    There are two things that annoy me about this video, in fact 3 although I totally admit it is really well done.

    1-The wind is supposed to be blowing 111 mph on shore, yet the water sprinkles clearly show the wind blowing in the opposite direction on the wave.
    2-Its sunny once you're zoomed on the wave, and very cloudy a few meters back on the shore.
    3-No one can stay on the board in this kind of white water unless feetstrapped to it, and you are rather towed-in if strapped to the board, or not if you paddle in (its either one or the other)
    4-The zoom is well done but not perfect (Flame or Inferno, anyway its compositing or cgi)

    Nice compositing anyway, at least 25 person have been fooled :-)

    By 1121081184
    • full of it ...

      1. the photographer is standing in the lee of the house. the wind is not blowing directly on shore. more of a cross wind , running paralell to the shore.
      2. if you see sun, get a new monitor.
      3. again you have no idea what you are talkin about. been there done that , more than once..
      4. WHAT everrrrr...
      nice shot i call it...

    • fake

      its F**king fake so why does it annoy u

      By surferboy620 1147467829
    • hoax? nope

      And after a second look, that wave really is not that huge. Sure, that's plent of white water, but there's surf all over the world that's bigger than that on a regular, not-stormed induced day.

      That surfer pulled it off.

      By delantero10 1139268448
    • hoax?

      You really should learn something about surfing before acting like an expert. Watch RIDING GIANTS, and you'll see big wave riders take on stuff without "feet being strapped" or leashes.

      By delantero10 1139268242
    • ?

      y r people always so critical. cant u just enjoy it?

      By andrix 1138663692
    • Well if it is fake.

      Notice the drop of water on the lens of the camera, upper right hand corner, it is still there on the zoom, nice touch, unless it's real

      By evile 1137137673
    • stupid asshole

      You can try same thing with your Camcorder and drops of water.
      Only problem is,
      I don't believe you can afford to buy camcorder with your black head!

      By mongmong 1143966635
    • dur

      ok. ill start believing it if someone can give me a name of the surfer, and a name of the spot! period.

      By heshmafia 1143740833
    • First of all,

      it was actually in the news at one time. Secondly, Have you even been to the beach before a hurricane?? I hope not because then you'd really prove how stupid you are! But if you did go, or watched the news sometimes, you would see idiots out surfing in waves worse then this WITH A HURRICANE JUST OFF SHORE. In 2004 a man drowned doing just such a thing. And if all the little details you gave for why it can't be real is your only evidence then you aren't just stupid, you are an idiot, because in Florida it can rain while the sun shines, on one side of the street and not the other.

  • So he's surfing

    He knows that it is safer to try and stay on the board than it is to get dumped. He a great athelete, I'll bet his legs hurt like crazy after this.

    This one may not be real, but mate there are surfers who ride waves just like that....dont always come out to tell the story though....

    By Lou-e 1183526090
  • Jron7667/JMO are the idiots

    If you were surfers, the fact that the wave IS OFFSHORE and the "STORM" is HOWLING ONSHORE is all you need to know.
    Of course it's bloody doctored and can't believe you are trying to say otherwise.

    By C9 1177204369
  • this is fake

    not only was this a commercial but this is like entirely computerized S**t , the lip of the wave landed right on him, there is no way of making that wave.. People do surf waves that big, but not in storms, and they also go with professional teams, and they use Jetski's to tow into the waves, because they are too big to paddle into. Anyway this S**t is definitly wave, no doubt about it

  • One of the best adverts ever

    i dont care if its fake, its great editing and a great ad!

    By AviDGameR2 1159702393
  • I DONT CARE IF ITS FAKE

    LISTEN IF ITS FAKE I DONT CARE IF ITS REAL THEN GET SERIOUS WHO ELSE WOULD HAVE THE COURAGE TO GO OUT INTO A STORM LIKE THAT AND JUST SURF LIKE ITS A NORMAL SUNNY DAY
    I KNOW I WOULDNT BESIDES DID YOU SEE THE WAVE!? THE WATER WAS TOUCHING THE HOUSES COME ON PEOPLE WORK WITH ME HERE!!!!!!!!!

    By Mttd101 1150335941
  • dunno if its a ad or not

    It's pretty clear that if you got that swallowed by 20 feet of white wash your not going to come out!! but i appreciate the thought of surfing next to a floating house!!

    By Louis1 1145351420
  • Fakeness!

    It is totally fake, aside from the DO NOT ATTEMPT wording in the corner the newscasters acting sounded played out in the first place.

    the same company did a bunch of them like that. another one is the one where the asteroid hits the pickup truck and they survived unscathed.

    By LtJackboot 1143279123
  • haha

    what would have been real funny is if he rode the wave all the way in and was riding it down the road.

    I know they really do love to surf when hurricanes and tropical storms come in but I don't buy this one. If he didn't come out at the end, I'd me more apt to believe it.

  • foools

    it is indeed a fake, once the top part of the wave falls there is no way the water can give him momentum, so there is no way he could have come out of the wave after the fall, its ridiculous.ty
