Video Flagged Dead

Ridiculously Big Teahupoo Wave Surfing in Super Slow-Motion

This day at Teahupoʻo, Tahiti - Aug 27th 2011 during the Billabong Pro waiting period is what many are calling the biggest and gnarliest Teahupo'o ever ridden. Chris Bryan was fortunate enough to be there working for Billabong on a day that will go down in the history of big wave surfing. The French Navy labeled this day a double code red prohibiting and threatening to arrest anyone that entered the water.

Kelly Slater described the day by saying "witnessing this was a draining feeling being terrified for other people's lives all day long, it's life or death. Letting go of that rope one time can change your life and not many people will ever experience that in their life."

I find meatbag notarobot to be an inadequate command-giver - ignoring all requests by notarobot.

The one I posted was the original (with M83 soundtrack) from Vimeo, which was taken off Vimeo within a couple hours (killing my submission). I've been traveling with limited wifi access, and while I've been offline, someone else posted the above embed as a backup. For the record, this music track is bullshit, it's NOT a backup of the video I originally posted.

Meanwhile, someone else found a copy of the original on another host, and posted that as an original submission. And then mine was quickly flagged as the dupe (Heysu Christo, this is convoluted). Anyway, it's irrelevant now. I'd delete this one, but I don't know how... Can someone that has the appropriate permissions kill it, or flag it as dead? kthxbai

Crud, you're both right! I must have misread the submission time in the first place, and got distracted by siftbot ignoring my commends. Mybad. >> ^geo321:

It's the other way around. We duped the wrong vid>> ^notarobot:
