Swallowed by a whale?

 

You might be think..."This story sounds a bit fishy to me..." 

But this is one is real... Check this out:


Swallowed by a whale? This man's incredible tale of survival | 60 Minutes Australia

At first it sounds too fishy to be true, but this story is definitely the real deal. Four weeks ago, professional fisherman Michael Packard, 57, was diving for lobsters in the ocean off Cape Cod when a humpback whale appeared from nowhere and swallowed him. In an instant his world went black and a frightening, and heroic, struggle for survival began. On 60 MINUTES, Packard gives a gripping account of his miraculous escape from the whale’s mouth. But as Karl Stefanovic finds out, this was not his only brush with death. Michael Packard is no stranger to danger, which means it’s not surprising he is now being called the luckiest man who ever lived.

Innersection - The Epic Surf Movie from Around The World

 

This is a unique collaboration of surfers, music and style worth watching... check this out!

Innersection (2011) | Kelly Slater, Matt Meola, Craig Anderson | Full Movie

The 25 two-minute surf movies that make up Taylor Steele’s INNERSECTION were each created by the surfers themselves. From stars like Kelly Slater and Joel Parkinson to performers like Josh Kerr and Craig Anderson to underdogs like Peter Devries and Matt Meola, these are the best free surfers in the world, chosen from over 150 international submissions by an online audience. But these aren’t the videos that you saw online. Once the surfers qualified for the movie, that’s when Taylor Steele went to work: producing the sections with the surfer/filmmaker teams, then blending the parts together into a single, flowing surf movie that changes pace, location, and style like an aquatic roller coaster. The surfers come from all around the world: New Zealand, Hawaii, Brazil, Peru, Australia and the US. The footage is the best of the year. The twenty-five filmmakers each bring their own style to the edits. And the final experience is something completely unique. #surfing #surfers #KellySlater #MattMeola #CraigAnderson #freemovie Subscribe to the Echoboom Sports channel on Amazon, Xfinity X1, Sling, or COX for full access to ad-free streaming of the largest collection of premium action sports films in the world.

The Flying Squirrel | Quincy Symonds | TEDxBrisbane


Published on Oct 17, 2014
This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Quincy is six years old. She has been surfing and skating since she was four. She is not only one of the best 6 year old surfers & skaters on the planet - she is beautiful kid with a spirit that needs to be seen to be believed.

At six, Quincy Symonds is already tipped as a future Layne Beachley or Stephanie Gilmore. They call her The Flying Squirrel. She may well be the best six-year-old surfer and skater on the planet. Prepare to be gobsmacked.

Bra Boys - The full movie


Bra Boys - Full Movie - Berkela Films [HD]
EchoBoom Sports by The Orchard 
Published on Aug 12, 2014
Available on iTunes: http://georiot.co/165K

"Bra Boys" is a film about the cultural evolution of the inner-Sydney beachside suburb of Maroubra and the social struggle of its youth -- the tattooed and much maligned surf community known as the Bra Boys. Central to the story is the true-life struggle of the Abberton brothers -- Sunny, Koby, Jai and Dakota ... one charged with murdering a Sydney standover man, another pursuing a professional surf career but charged as an accessory in his brother's legal fight, another trying to hold the family together and a young brother whose inheritance is his siblings' notoriety. The story is narrated by Academy Award-winning Australian actor Russell Crowe, and is told through the eyes of members of the Bra Boys.
