O'Neill Wave of the Winter Movie (2016)

Mikey O'Shaughnessy won this year's O'Neill Wave of the Winter for his late-season OTW drainer, sure, but there were countless other amazing rides at Pipe, Backdoor and OTW this year. Here they are, in one tidy edit, with insights from the dudes who rode 'em.

It's amazing the level of science/meteorology is involved in today's surfing. They can accurately predict the exact time when the perfect swell is going to hit. Amazing!

So stoked for him. Like they said it couldn't have happened to a nice guy. A working man too, not an over sponsored kook. Good on ya brudah.

JTLYK, John John's highlight at 05:13 shows the date "12/16/2016" in the video. Regardless, I love these Wave of the Winter docs, and enjoy it each year!

It's hard to distinguish where his neck ends and chest begins

[patrizing]

JOB's barrel was so friggin unreal tube ride bra and who ever the cameraman was not getting his camera out of the way on Tyler Newton's wave @3:45 needed to be B slapped for that. I'm so sick of these wanna be camera men risking guy's life's for a picture.

Wipeout of the winter?
I would say the one where the lip just engulfs him and slams him to the sand I guess

[kalanikaleiohi]

can the, wave of the winter only b won by surfers or can it b won by boogie boarders to??

[conspiraciesarejustgreatst]

It would drive me nuts trying to catch a wave with a lineup that packed...then you have to worry about the two or three dozen photographers sitting in the bowl....I understand the reasons and all that but it's still annoying for me...be nice to be a guy like Jamie or reef or koa who have been there since they were children so they always get priority

[lucianobeeche]

carlos munoz was 100% better wave of the winter starting off by the fact that it was at backdoor.kooks.

[joninsco]

The sponsorship should up the 25, 000
to 50, 000 . It seems that even the Best Barrel master could
Injur themselves . Just
Keeping it real. As I
Skateboard any unfortunate land could be my last. Surfers and
Skateboarders LEADERS NOT FOLLOWERS.
