Watch Surfer Survive Massive Wave Beatdown

Brad Norris is a photographer who was working on assignment when he was taken down by a big wave.

He was forced to inflate two CO2 canisters and almost didn’t make it back to the surface.

In this interview by Surfer magazine, Norris talks about his experience being taken down and eventually making it back to the surface.

“Western Australia’s infamous slab, The Right, did its strangely beautiful-yet-terrifying dance last weekend, which allured a crew of slab-hunting madmen to tango with the heavy, shape-shifting beast,” wrote Ben Waldron.

“Among the chargers were Bradley Norris and Jake Osman, who decided to whip into one of the session’s larger waves as doubles-Osman out front, Norris deep with a housed camera.”
