Certains spots de surf sont si intenses que même les professionnels hésitent avant de prendre la mer. 🌊 Prenez Teahupo’o à Tahiti, par exemple — on y trouve des vagues si lourdes et creuses qu’elles ont été surnommées "trains de marchandises liquides". En Californie, Mavericks offre des vagues monstrueuses pouvant atteindre 18 mètres, avec des eaux glaciales et des fonds rocheux prêts à vous accueillir en cas de chute. Pipeline à Hawaï peut sembler être un rêve, mais ses vagues rapides et tubulaires se brisent sur des récifs coralliens aiguisés, en faisant l'un des sites de surf les plus dangereux au monde. Et n’oublions pas la Pororoca dans l’Amazonie — une vague de marée qui déferle sur les rivières sur des kilomètres, emportant des débris comme des bûches et des crocodiles. 🌪️ Surfer sur ces spots ne se résume pas seulement à la compétence — c’est affronter la puissance brute de la nature en espérant s’en sortir indemne ! 🏄♂️ Animation créée par Sympa.

FunTranscript
00:00Did you know that a man had managed to surf a wave at a distance of 12 km?
00:05This feat was made in 2004 by the Brazilian surfer Picuruta Salazar.
00:10To give you a point of comparison, know that Central Park in New York only extends over 4 km.
00:16It was the Pororoca wave, which can only be surfed 3 days a year.
00:21Its power is such that it propels you naturally, but some passages remain particularly arduous.
00:29If you are looking for one of the most dreaded surf spots, Pipeline, in Hawaii, is an essential reference.
00:35However, this place is not for the faint of heart.
00:38Renowned for its monumental waves that can reach up to 6 meters in height,
00:42Pipeline is also known for its shallow reefs.
00:45The falls there are dreadful and can cause serious injuries, or even drag you down.
00:51The waves of Pipeline are also unpredictable.
00:54You will never really know what to expect, a bit like a box of chocolate,
00:58but replace the treats with gigantic waves capable of crushing you without hesitation.
01:03If you like to take on challenges, the famous annual competition of Bilabong Pipe Masters takes place there every winter.
01:10Just make sure to give your best and bring spare underwear.
01:15Even the most seasoned surfers tackle each wave with apprehension.
01:20This spot, comparable to a wild animal, punishes any mistake.
01:25If you think you are ready to take on one of the most demanding waves in the world, go to Pipeline.
01:30But don't say you weren't warned.
01:33For lovers of strong sensations in California, Mavericks is a must-see place.
01:38Known for its gigantic waves and its powerful currents, this spot even puts the most experienced surfers to the test.
01:44Hang on tight, because this wave won't let you down.
01:47Let's make it clear right away that Mavericks is not for beginners.
01:50This colossus can reach dizzying heights, reaching up to 18 meters.
01:55But if you are a seasoned surfer and you like adventure, Mavericks is the place you need.
02:01Located just offshore of Half Moon Bay, this spot is famous for its formidable waves.
02:06One could say that it embodies the Hulk of surf spots.
02:10Immense, bold, and ready to crush everything.
02:13But beware, Mavericks is not limited to its gigantic waves.
02:17This place also welcomes a community of passionate surfers.
02:21These men and women live for the adrenaline of taking on a wave at Mavericks, and are ready to do anything to achieve it.
02:27However, Mavericks is not just about sport.
02:31It is also a real community.
02:33The surfers who face these titanic waves support each other, forming a great family united by their common passion.
02:40So here is Mavericks, the most extreme and iconic surf spot in California.
02:45If you are ready to take on the challenge, take your board and go for it.
02:49But don't forget, facing a 18-meter-high water wall, screaming out loud is perfectly understandable.
02:55No one will judge you.
02:57Teahupoo, in Tahiti, also houses some of the most formidable waves on the planet.
03:02Scattering on a shallow reef, it creates spectacular and intense waves.
03:08The name itself, pronounced Tchopoo, means broken skull in Tahitian, which gives an idea of the danger of the place.
03:15These colossal waves, which can reach 7 meters high, break on a shallow reef, generating phenomenal power and tubes that extend for hundreds of meters.
03:25If you fall at Teahupoo, prepare to meet the underwater reef up close.
03:30With its roughness, it acts like a real cheese wrap on the skin.
03:34So be sure to bring bandages and good insurance before you go there.
03:38But for those brave in search of adrenaline, Teahupoo remains one of the most mythical surf spots in the world.
03:45However, it is sometimes wiser to opt for safer spots.
03:49If you are looking for impressive waves without risking your life, explore these places known for their safety.
03:56Let's start with Waikiki Beach in Hawaii, an ideal place for beginners as well as confirmed surfers.
04:01These regular waves and their sandy bottom guarantee a pleasant experience and the presence of lifeguards ensures maximum safety.
04:09Then there is Bondi Beach in Australia, famous for its idyllic setting and relaxed atmosphere, while offering waves perfectly adapted to surfing.
04:18With its shallow waters and its many surf schools, Waikiki offers a perfect start to sport.
04:24But if you are looking for something more exotic, go to Nosara in Costa Rica.
04:29You will find warm water, constant waves and a relaxed atmosphere.
04:34In addition, the inhabitants, known for their hospitality, will welcome you with open arms.
04:39Finally, the Muisenberg beach in South Africa is ideal.
04:43This spot offers some of the most regular waves in the world, but they are neither too big nor too dangerous.
04:49In addition, shark getters ensure your safety in the event of unauthorized visits by local carnivores.
04:56No matter how safe the place may seem, you will always need a few tips to perfect your technique and reach the upper level.
05:04Have you ever wondered why surfers apply wax on their boards?
05:08Know that this is not just a matter of aesthetics.
05:10In reality, when we tackle the waves, it is essential to avoid sliding like a mancho on the bench.
05:16This is precisely where the wax intervenes, essential to ensure adhesion.
05:21Indeed, the wax creates an anti-slip surface on the board, thus allowing it to stay in place, a bit like peanut butter on a slice of bread.
05:30Without this protective layer, you would risk sliding like a pig fattened during a fair.
05:36That said, it is important to note that all waxes are not worth it.
05:40It is advisable to choose a wax suitable for your board as well as water.
05:44A bit like the choice of an ice cream.
05:46You don't want to end up with a chocolate mint while you dream of a salted butter caramel.
05:51The next time you see a surfer meticulously waxing his board, remember that this is not a superfluous ritual or intended to appreciate the pleasant scent of some waxes.
06:02Above all, it is about avoiding an embarrassing fall in front of the spectators.
06:06That said, here is an additional tip.
06:09By applying a little wax directly under your feet, you will improve your adhesion to the board.
06:15A simple but effective gesture that will prevent these unpleasant slides worthy of a seal on a wet rock.
06:21Another precious tip is to wear earplugs.
06:25Did you know that there is a known affection under the name of the surfer's ear?
06:29Due to their prolonged exposure to cold winds and water, some surfers, especially those evolving in harsh climatic conditions, see their auditory conduct shrink.
06:39This can lead to an accumulation of water, cerumen, or even air, thus increasing the risk of infection.
06:45To prevent these discomforts, experienced surfers prefer the use of earplugs, an essential accessory, even for beginners.
06:54And if you surf in particularly cold waters without suitable hoods, another tip is to apply a thin layer of Vaseline on your ears to isolate them from the cold.
07:03A simple and effective method to keep them warm.
07:07Finally, you would be surprised to learn that some surfers include transparent fingernail varnish in their life jackets.
07:13This unexpected tool is used not for fingernails, but to temporarily repair small cracks on their boards.
07:20By applying a thin layer of varnish on a crack, you will prevent the water from infiltrating and aggravating the damage.
07:26However, experienced surfers will advise you to prefer specialized repair kits for long-lasting results.
07:33And that's it, surfer friend. Now equipped with these tips, let yourself be carried away by the waves with the assurance of a true pro.
