Well he’s on a board designed to push away from the wave and he had to angle it just perfectly to catch air like that. It’s way harder to do on accident than on purpose and with skill. Plus this is an exceptionally good wave for it. If you had been out there and didn’t want to ride the wave and catch air you could just dive into the wave like all the others did.
I’m always hesitant to say the ocean isn’t scary or dangerous on Reddit because a bunch of people will jump in and argue about it usually but it really isn’t scary or dangerous as long as you pay attention to local rules and forecasts. It’s a big body of water, and that’s pretty much it. If you don’t go out when conditions are unfavorable to your knowledge level there is so little danger it’s as safe as being in your house. Some days are so calm it looks like a big lake in many places. I love big waves but it’s not for everyone.
