Video: Here's the Top 20 Wipeouts in Surfing According to Surf's Up
Most surfers love a good wipeout.
Well, watching them from the comfort of a screen, that is.
In the last few months, the surf world's been treated more than its fair share of wipeouts for one season. From Europe to the North Shore, we've seen wipeouts of all kinds. From big wave surfer Kai Lenny cracking a helmet to a jetski getting pounded, it's been the winter of wipeouts.

Surf's Up posted the edit above on its YouTube channel and captioned it:
"Dive into the heart-pounding world of extreme surfing with "BIGGEST SURFING WIPEOUTS EVER," a thrilling compilation that captures the most jaw-dropping moments in surfing history.
"From the towering waves of Mavericks and Pipeline to the ferocious swells of Teahupo'o and Jaws, this video showcases the ultimate test of skill, courage, and endurance faced by the world's most daring surfers.
"Whether you're a seasoned surfer, an adrenaline junkie, or someone who marvels at the raw power of nature, this video is packed with heart-stopping action that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
"Featuring epic wipeouts, unbelievable near-misses, and the indomitable spirit of surfers who brave the planet's most formidable waves, it's a visual feast that highlights the unpredictable and often treacherous beauty of the ocean."
While the video delivers on the footage as promised, it's got a few quirks. From a few mistaken names, an over-pronounced heavy wave surf spot in Tahiti, and a couple of remote-control surfers enduring the worst wipeouts ever, the edit's entertaining.
But as promised, it showcases 20 insane wipeouts so press play above.
