O'Neill Wave of the Winter Movie 2018

We know now that Nathan Florence (deservedly) won the O'Neill Wave of the Winter. But one wave does not a winter make. And as is tradition, we spent the entire North Shore season with multiple lenses pointed firmly at all the action at Pipeline, Backdoor and Off-the-Wall, captured the best of the best and then sat down the standouts.

I've been waiting for this video for the past 10 months. The first two months after the 2017 was released I watched it a good 4 or 5 times then went back and watched all the years before. Friggen love the wave of winter docs. The surfing is sick...the commentary is sick...BUT THE MUSIC IS ALWAYS DAYM GOOD

Mark Anthony here from Wisconsin ... I lived and surfed in southern California from'87 till '92, a few trips ta Puerto Escondido where winter waves can go off! But these videos/ docs bring me back to a time when my spirit was free. I'm now a paraplegic confined to a wheelchair but aspire to take my 18 yr old son to Sheboygan WI. just north of where I live, where a long history and connection to southern California exists!

Good tunes, great surf, congrats to Nathan on a epic ride! A huge salute to the people responsible for Not choosing rap music to be included in this video.

I remember exactly when Briley started surfing Pipe as a kid and how he grew and grew to be a legend. Nicest dude ever.

I have watched this a dozen times, just to catch Nathan's reaction when he noticed the guys coming up behind him in the lens. And when they doused him with champagne, he was so pumped, he didn't even notice it. Thanks for posting this video, and making my day:)

There were some very high quality in water shots of Pipeline that should also get an award. For example here is one:

Who in their right mind would give a thumbs down on this video it was great made me feel like I was on those rides I miss the water so much thanks 🙏

[JekabsJan]

Wow, now this was a masterpiece!
I live in Europe, nowhere near to wavey beaches. After this movie, my goal in life is to get a ride through a good pipeline🤞🏼♥️

[nayyerwazeir]

The waves are awesome love pro surfing ❤️

[rab]

New to surfing, cannot believe what's going on here with the skill and courage, massive fan!

[Jetty-xdyc]

The money is sweet, but having that group of water men affirm your style and skill is better 🤙

[afatty]

Pipe is definitely a bucket list dream for this goofy

Only humans would see this giant wave that could crush you and think, hmmm maybe I should try to glide under it on a flimsy board attached to my ankle. It is incredible!!!
