One of the biggest recorded.
Any keen surfers will know that an occasional wipeout is part of the territory but this footage of British surfer Tom Lowe is taking extreme to a whole other level.
This footage was taken during a recent trip to Puerto Escondido in Mexico and it resulted in him suffering extreme whiplash and being submerged under the water for over 15 seconds.
Speaking with The Mail he said “”This wipeout was definitely the longest free fall that I have ever had”.
Lowe has since been nominated for the TAG Heuer Wipeout of the Year award on the back of this incident and if he doesn’t win the award then we’ll be amazed.
You wouldn’t get this in Bundoran. Take a look.
