10 'great' surf wipeouts
From sandy beaches to indoor water parks, surfing is a popular sport worldwide. Needless to say, funny surf wipeouts are just as popular... and oftentimes far more amusing!
See below for some of the best surfing wipeouts anywhere. And remember: if you're visiting the beach this summer, maybe you should take some surfing lessons before you wax your board. Just saying.
This poor guy is cut down hard and fast by a small but painful wave.
Wave: 1. Windsurfer: 0.
This is why you shouldn't try to windsurf a big wave. On second thought, maybe it should be... Wave: 100. Windsurfer: 0.
Talk about some major air! This surfer literally "explodes" onto the surfing scene. (See what we did there?)
Not only does the surfer get thrown from his board but it appears as if he may get whacked with it as well! Watch it in slow-mo and decide for yourself.
He shoulda worn a face mask, I guess.
Never get too cocky about skills: it could be you bouncing off the water, on your face, in this video.
Riding the top of the wave, a surfer is tossed from his board into one unforgiving wave.
This enormous wave engulfs several surfers -- board and all!
This surfer drops off his board and almost takes out another surfer during his free fall!
Be glad you're not the guy running this surf ride! On the other hand, I'm pretty sure the dad in this video defies the laws of physics on several occasions.
And finally, check out this roundup of surf wipeouts, including one that caused a horrible neck injury.

Little do you guys know that Jay died on that very wave at Mavericks. you should explain that before you have people laughing at a lost life. Also, why is there some fat dad pretending to surf in this list when there are countless other wipeouts that go unrecognized

Jay didn't die on that wave. He grabbed his second board from the boat and paddles back out. He died when he had a shallow water blackout while free diving.

What?

From some one who has been surfing for most of my life, don't do things like this. It doesn't come off well. Especially when one of the videos - video six - shows a surfer who passed away not long ago. Jay Moriarty Died a few years ago in a shallow water blackout while free diving and deserves a little more respect than this feature gives him.
I know the obsession with surf and I'm sure you had the best intentions. And they're fun. But when you come off sounding like someone who hasn't even seen the ocean it tends to push people like myself away.
Ah what do I know.

You're such a fool, and you're screen name is an example of this as well as you're comment.

I love watching surfers on the north shore, you know IN REAL LIFE. But, give me a break, can't you writers find better articles. I'm going to go watch "Live from Daryls House". Shove it crap.
