Thats a realy big wave!!! And I am the first!!!
it looks fake n thanks for the obvious
lol. you guys are great!
to:bob
I kinda agree, the ‘water’ in the foreground almost looks like snow
the wave is a wave but the rest of it is snow so its fake
woa that does look like snow
Big FAIL to snow people out there.This is Waimea shore break in Hawaii.
The white is a foam that is produce from the waves.
nuhuh it’s a snow wave
avalance
dammit u read my mind
because of the sea foam
that looks like waimea beach break…definite beating this guy is about to take. Surfing fail…kook fail…
Yeah, I think that just this moment is already a fail.
if he holds his breath ands swims away he just might make it
No, what you do is dive down as far as possible. If you go far enough down or close enough to the ocean floor then you can avoid the breaking wave and you don’t get tumbled around. However, a wave like that would only appear far enough from shore that you would never make it down far enough when it was that close. In other words, if he had acted 3 seconds ago that guy would have been fine, but by now he’s completely screwed.
it kinda resembles what my wife faces every time i shoot my batter
No body likes liars…. only I can do that
That can’t be real. And who took the picture?
lol ya who the hell was that close enough to take that picure.
it’s called a zoom button you dumb ass
and he’s only waist deep in the water….i wonder how deep he was before the water receded to bring forward the wave?
he might be featuring a special floatation device commonly used by surfers
hes waist deep in water most likely because hes sitting on his board which will be submerged. no matter what, hes failed
Ouch!
Does he have a surfboard?
Or a deathwish?
Or both?

Does this look like snow to anyone else? I don’t know if this qualifies as fail…he’s just about to die, that’s all.
hes bout to uber fail at life right there and yes i think that is ice/snow
FAIL!
it totally looks like snow.
its called sea foam
wow. thats obviously not snow. you’re a failure.
SEA FOAM!!!
you losers have obviously never swam in big waves before.
a lot of people haven’t swam in big waves before, and it does LOOK like snow. only one person said they think it’s snow. who are you dubbing “losers” here? you commented on one of the people who said it looks (for clarity: looks) like snow. i don’t want to sound mean, but if you really think about it, it makes a whole lot of sense.
Oh yes, a wave of snow makes a LOT of sense
Yeah, it does look like snow, but after I looked at it for a minute I could see that it was water.
That’s how waves break at alot of beaches, so the wave can crest at like 12 feet, and the water can be only waist deep, with alot of rocks and reef. They may be sitting on a board, though, so the water could be deeper. You can duck under most waves and be spit out the other side, but it looks like the person hesitated too much for that.
Major pending fail.
good god i’m glad someone has some sense.
you win.
You have to admire that courage.
Wave fail.
Lifegaurd practice win….

DIVE DIVE DIVE
Can he not turn quick enough to ride this thing? Looks like he still might have a few seconds. But I’m from fly-over America and know nothing about waves…
Cartoons here: http://spinachflame.wordpress.com/
He’ll be fine. What’s the worst that could happen? Think of him as the American people and the wave as the current economic situation and you’ll see that everything will be just fine…just fine indeed.
http://aphilosopher.wordpress.com
the worst thing that could happen? He could drown. His back bone could breake, nearly every bone in his body could break. He could become unconcious und drown. Those waves arent funny. I got hit by such a wave once and its one of the most horrible feelings in the world when you are stuck in water, you got no idea where you are and there is no oxigen for about 20-30 seconds
You can’t hold your breath for 20-30 seconds? Maybe you shouldn’t go into water outside your bath-tub.
Holding your breath for 20-30 seconds isn’t a big deal… Except when you just got hit by a giant wave. Then you get the breath knocked out of you. And it hurts. A lot.
naw – it’s amazing how easy it is to duck under even a big wave like that. sure, he’ll be crushed and churned a bit, but if it’s a sandy bottom, he’ll be back and ready for action in seconds. rare NO FAIL. (grew up in a beach town)
Growing up in Hawaii for 17 years i can say this guy is done. First off if he does dive the wave its gonna break and create whats called a ‘falls’ which is gonna suck him and hold him under for a good 30 seconds, and if he just sits there the lip of the wave is gonna smash him right into the bottom.
Yes, fail indeed. “Falls” will keep you under and drown you.
*didn’t grow up in a beach town but notices things* It all depends on what he does. If he doesn’t move, FAIL. But most of the time, if you run forward and dive for the base of wave and make yourself streamlined, the water will move right past you. You have to go with the flow. If you get caught in the wave, well, that really sucks, because you’ll be tumbled so much you won’t know which way is up. But fighting it will only hurt you more.
do the have coral in Hawaii
he’s not waist deep in the water, he’s on a surfboard, you can see it in front of him. Major FAIL!
What Josh say it’s true. If you know how it’s easy to avoid a wave like that just submerging a little. (sorry if my english is bad)
I used to wonder what’s so dangerous about waves but if you try to imagine how much water that is and how it weighs you’ll realize it’s about as heavy as getting a couple of rocks dropped on you. If you dive in though the energy will be mostly absorbed by the water above you.
ahahahahaha, u dont have a real life an i laugh about u so hard… u fail @ all u trying to do… stupid idiots… ahahahahaha
grammar fail
EMO = FAIL.
‘u dont have a real life’
rich for someone who openly admits to being emo
and as for ’stupid idiots’
only a stupid idiot would write ‘u fail @ all u trying to do’.
Is it bad that I’m rooting for the Wave here? Surfer Suicide WIN! LOL
mikeytherhino.wordpress.com
UhUhauhauhauhau
going to fail…
Is it possible to send a picture that wasn’t edited first in our society? I don’t think so….
Tidal fail.
Oh shi… Wordplay fail.
wow that must’ve hurt big time. Yeah, u can submerge in the water, but that’s a really big wave, and that guy didn’t have the time… u can get hurt by waves like that.
Even if he dove, he could still get churned like tomatoes and sardines in a blender for FISH TACOS!!!!!
Wave win!
but i guess the man is copied in the picture
Where’s David Hasselhoff when you need him?
Check out my blog -What were they thinking?
hahahaha
He could just dive.
That water looks more like snow…
Wimaea Shorebreak…..
spelling fail – it’s spelled Waimea
That Mike is a Commie.
All you have to do is leave the country, dude. It’s as simple as that, just leave.
American “freedom of belief” fail.
He’s going for it.
@17: Hey, you stole my name again?
Seriously, stop it.
But strangely, that was pretty much what I was going to say…
LOL man ppl these days… trying 2 find faults in fails…. jesus christ pplz… Why cant we all just go, look @ a fail and laugh? instead of constantly trying 2 find the faults in this site and its pictures?
Viewer fail
THANK YOU
Fatman, I agree. Especially when said people shout “shopped” at a real picture…
Is it just me or do I see a man with no shirt ON SNOW? The wave looks like its photoshopped right in as the background. He looks like hes on some waist tall snow. Anybody else see it like me? I noticed one person said snow as well.
When waves are big, they create a lot of “whitewash” (the white bubbles crashing waves produce). It’s not snow. Those waves are just huge. And he is going to get pummeled.
Now, to people who are saying “photoshopped”: Why don’t you google some gnarly wave photos. It’s pretty much right on.
Ever been to Hawaii when the waves are big? That’s how it looks to watch someone surfing out there.
Huge, scary, foamy. Crazy surfers that look like dots compared to the massive size of the breaking waves get pwnd just like this guy probably did.
this one sucks so bad…does anyone have to approve these before they;re posted or should i go ahead and start submitting pictures my cat SHE IS SO CUTENESS HAHA CAT FAIL BAHAHA
He’ll be fine. It looks like he’s about to execute a duck dive:
http://www.surfing-waves.com/surfing_lesson_three.htm
Pending avoidance of fail…
imaG @27 FTW
75% chance that with a good duck dive he’ll just pop out the other side. He’s timing it just right–you want to dive just at the base of the wave. Still, that’s a pretty big wave, and if it breaks on him he’s gonna go tumbling for a while, so hope he took a very deep breath.
Not fake at all! Waimea Shorebreak (google it) one of the most awesome waves in the word! hundreds of people surf it each year when it goes off!
he’s gonna fail for sure lolz
That is a snow avalanche. I think it’s fail he’s not wearing a shirt in the snow.
i think its a woman. it says woman in the caption. why does everyone refer to the person as “he”?
You people have got to check the perspective of this wave and the position of the surfer. This person is on the edge of the break and isn’t going to catch the brunt of the wave at all. It’s a dangerous place to be, but probably trying to catch the edge of one of these for a ride. Also that isn’t snow, that is break. Where the waves go smashing down into the beach, it’s a lot of air bubbles being generated. Massive waves, wouldn’t be surprised if it wasn’t taken at a competition. Watch more ESPN and less of the food channel.
NO MAN.
I NEEDS MAH FOOD CHANNEL.
pooter, just shut up. go talk to your cat
Hm. Can’t happen. When he/she is standing in waist-deep water, there’d never be enough water to make such big waves. If that could happen, i’m afraid we wouldn’t have any shores to surf from anymore. bit like that movie waterworld
^smartypants superior logic attempt FAIL.
You retard.. the larger a wave, the more the water recedes form the shoreline.. totally possible and very probable.
^smartypants superior logic attempt FAIL. AGAIN.
He is sitting on a surfboard you ‘tard.
^^^trying to be not gay and annoying FAIL. just look at the picture and laugh. we dont need everyone to argue about it
LOL Fail ppl who say this is photoed… Get glasses… its obviously water…. water can be really foamy u tools…
As i said before
Viewer Fail!!!!!!!
the guys on a board,just gonna dive under this wave ,and paddle out for the next,or the next ,he will catch one,it will be awesome at that size,lifes a beach(unless you live in grimsby) dig it ,Dark,pass the beans.
why dont you have a back to top at bottom,i’m last ,lol
ITS A SHE U GUYS FAIIIIIIL!!!!
how much does that matter? and how do you know?
You are all wrong it’s a naked man about to be hit with an avalanche. You can clearly see the snow on the ground…
*takes off running, lol*
Its a chick, its not snow, its heavy foam from the break zone you bunch of freaking squids,
she is to the RIGHT of the wave, it will never even hit her, she’s not blind, retards.
ITS A GUY NERD BUTT
Woowww
goodd
that alexander is a moron!!! (#30)
If that person is standing then it’s a fake. Trust me, I have a degree in oceanography – there is no way waves that size break that way in water that shallow unless it is a proper tsunami wave. It’s just a surfer sitting on a board who won’t be in the break.
Verdict: No fail.
WOW flymo, degree in oceanography and you say this is impossible??!? YOU FAIL! go back to night school buddy, its called a steep beach… it’s Waimea shorebreak, look it up idiots. Look up Teahupoo, Tahiti- same concept except it’s reef that causes the wave there… get a clue dude.
Just look at the swell in the front of the pic, they can’t be standing upright if there is a swell taller than they are.
wave of fail
totally snow.
copy and pasted top half of someone’s body.
fake fail.
but it was real..
more death than fail.
definitely.
Been there, not pleasent. So much more funny when you see it than live it
It’s Waimea Shorebreak, Hawaii. The guy is a bodyboarder. One would assume he is proficient enough at duckdiving to get under it. Waves that size suck you towards them pretty quick.
It is also incredibly shallow. I suggest people google both ‘Waimea Shorey’ and ‘Shorebreak’ before claiming its fake.
lol.
owned.
XD
Come on, seriously people, does anyone know anything about waves? This guy would *not* be staring down the barrel of that wave (with a photographer looking at him, no less) without knowing what he was doing. Firstly, if he is on a surfboard, he is perfectly positioned for a duckdive, he hasn’t left it too late at all. Secondly, if he’s standing on the ground, he can easily dive through the wave at either the base or, if he’s moving forward, through the middle and, finally and most logically, he can just dive straight under it.
For the record, I live in Australia, have done for many years and I was a member of an SLSC (Surf Life Saving Club) for several years, also, you can dive under pretty much any wave.
Finally, to you people who think it’s snow: don’t have kids.
Is it.. an avalanche?
haha avalanche he/she said AVALANCHE!!!!!
hahahah AVALANCHE!!! YOU SAID ITS AN AVALANCHE!!!AAAHAHAHAHAHAH YOU FAIL AS MUCH AS THIS GUY DID!!
ummmm wtf
Well, ouch.
Oh. I also see that this was tagged a woman. That’s a guy. A guy….
i think it should be about to die tho
For his sake, I hope that’s photoshopped
I would assume he is surfing…which is why the water looks shallow…
…The thing he should probably worry about is the board smacking him in the face and ripping half of his face off
My God that is scary
BTW, people who think that is snow, if it was it wouldn’t be blue-ish underneath like that unless he was standing on a glacier…..
I’ve had a wave maybe 3/4 of that size hit me while i was just standing there……………it’s scary as shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! god damn i’d like die if i was that person
I think we can all agree that if the surfer doesn’t do something, that wave is going to inflict major pain and probable death. I wouldn’t be surprised if a wave like that could knock you out…
MAN vs. WAVE
Its Waimea shore break and you can dive right under it and pop out the back. I know because I lived there and used to do it all the time. If you are not an experienced ocean swimmer stay on the beach.
heehee good luck…..
i wonder how much that hurt????
hahah.. he’s like “oooooohhhh sh*t”
just imagine being that person at this moment. what would you do? i want people to leave replys to this comment telling me what you would do
I think the photo kinda misrepresents scale and perspective. I’m sure little beach loser there is in for a rough time, but I suspect it is not >quite< as bad as it looks.
