マーヴェリックスの大波に飲み込まれるサーフィン観戦会場の映像

ニュース

カリフォルニアで開催された、この時期に発生するマーヴェリックス(Mavericks)と呼ばれる大波に乗るサーフィンコンテストの会場で起きた事故を一般客が撮影した映像です。

十数名の負傷者が出たものの、死者が出なかったのが不幸中の幸いです。

[YouTube] Mavericks Wave Slams Spectators pt1: I watched the first 2 waves come in and drench people, so I pulled out my flip cam (instead of my expensive equipment which remained in a water tight case) and started shooting. I stood behind a log on a slightly elevated bit of ground and only got wet up to my knees. After I saw how dangerous it was I headed up the hill a little ways and continued shooting with my better HD camera. Shot by Tyler – http://www.allexits.net

[YouTube] Mavericks Wave Slams Spectators pt2: Shot on a Sony EX1 in slow motion. I was up on the hill this time (good and safe). This was featured on NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams. Shot by Tyler – http://www.allexits.net

[YouTube] Mavericks Wave Slams Spectators pt3: The third installment of the Mavericks tidal surges. People were badly injured, yet it kept happening… Shot by Tyler – http://www.allexits.net

[YouTube] Mavericks Wave Slams Spectators pt4: Shot in slow motion (so no audio). This was much closer to 10am, the peak of high tide. People really underestimated Mavericks that day. Shot by Tyler – http://www.allexits.net
