Is This The Biggest Swell Ever Surfed At Cloudbreak? | Sessions

You don't want to miss this exclusive edit from Fiji's mega swell. 
The reports said they would be some of the biggest waves ever to hit Cloudbreak, so we sent a legendary crew there to document – and ride – history.
Ever since the historic June 2012 swell at Cloudbreak in Fiji, big wave surfers have pondered the possibilities of the one that got away. You know the one. Some have called it the 'unicorn wave.' Well, six years later, the unicorn showed its face once again.
Mark Healey takes off his leash at the last second, diving as deep as he can through the back of this translucent beast. A handful of other surfers frantically paddling for the shoulder. Meanwhile, Healey's board sits perfectly alone in the pitching lip, looking more like a toothpick than the 10-foot-plus chunk of fibreglass that it was.
Some have called it the 'unicorn wave.' Well, six years later, the unicorn showed its face once again – and perennial big-wave charger Ramon Navarro was on it.
While Navarro's bomb – which you can witness in this fresh edit above, by legendary big-wave filmer Tim Bonython – was the biggest of the day, it sure wasn't the only mind-blowing ride to go down. Guys like Kai Lenny, Natxo Gonzalez, Laurie Towner, Luke Shepardson, Kelly Slater, and others were there to make history. Click on the edit above to relive the greatest moments.

I literally cried after watching. After 30 years of surfing I was diagnosed 4 years ago with myotonic muscular dystrophy. In my mid-30s I was most comfortable in Big Surf.I now have the money to travel to the places I want to go to, but now I just get to watch. I've had big sessions at killers and sunset. So I'll take what I've been given.

Why do all these videos have to be in slow motion? I would love to watch how fast this wave really is.

That 2nd wave ridden by Shaun Lopez (?) is a BEHEMOTH. And both Danilo Cuoto and Luke Shepherdson get INSANE tube rides, but Danilo actually makes his... barely. Luke finally had to ride the foam ball. This clip is MEZMERIZING, thanks for posting!

Don't think I've ever seen a better barrel, anywhere. 15 foot plus, clean, and he's slotted deep. For a long time.

Delighted to see these guys paddling in, something special about paddling into Giants!

[Dewitt-bn]

Amazing. I been in 8- 12 foot surf and it was humbling.

If this isn't the best wave in the world...show me what is..! I can only imagine.Nuff respect!

[stevescott]

Takes a lot of courage and skill to ride these waves

The best big wave to watch. It goes on and on and the barrel seems to grow the longer you charge. Incredible

[upsidedahead]

Shepardson and McNamara got the deepest but paid the price. Shepardson's ride was INSANE

[LosslessCreative]

filming in those swells looks like it would be so fun

[robdobson]

Biggest most perfect waves on that day. Looked like some 30-40 foot faces!!

[johnswimcat]

I wouldn't know whether it's the biggest but it's pretty bloody big! Respect for anyone who was out there

[neutronbomb]

Tip for anyone about to watch: change to double playback speed and hit MUTE

I like seeing Garrett wipe out trying to snake in on the paddle session on his jet board 😂

[Exploreduocreative]

Wow the waves are giant indeed. Great video.

[EdWong]

Unbelievable, paddling into that big a wave. Only at Cloudbreak and the barrels that can fit a Mac truck.

[richardduncan]

That is some of the best surfing I have ever seen!!!
