Keep your ears peeled for this tow-in dude from QLD. He's part fish, & balls of steel.

holly ****, thats insane! i couldnt do that in 3 breaths of air!

RESPECT

I was thinking no big deal if you have no air in your lungs and relax ( relaxation is the key ) you can stay under water for a long time ( well longer than you expected anyway )

But to then swim 50m UNDERWATER wtf

TOTAL RESPECT

Mark is pretty amazing - he's from the Sunshine Coast - check out his website from the clip. He came second in the Oakley big wave contest this year. He's still looking for some major sponsors.

Does he want to take up Kitesurfing?

Dont know if anyone noticed but when the clip ends and it goes back to the You Tube site the next video along is from a girl called apneagirl.com She is a chick who gets sexually aroused when she holds her breath.

i thought this was enough 'on topic' to rate a mention.

She is hot too!

Weird but true! You go girlfriend. maybe she should take up big wave surfing, it would be orgasmic.

The guy in the video is pretty impressive but there is a bit of a trick involved.

The breathing reflex is triggered by the presence of CO2 in your lungs. If you purge all the CO2 out of your lungs the breathing reflex stops and the urge to breathe passes. You can hold your breath forever ... until you die. [}:)]

Years ago some guys were demonstrating how many laps of a 50m pool they could do underwater. One guy got up to 6 laps before he floated to the surface unconcious.

I've done 3 laps of a 25m pool. I don't know if I could do it after sitting on the bottom for 90 seconds.

If apnea girl likes to hold her breath for a long time I'm sure I could find a way to help her.

I can see Apnea girl making way more money than Mark Visser.

i tested this theory when i went to hospital to get surgery on my ear!!!
Surfer's ear,too much time in the water surfing ,kite surfing, snorkeling...
The hole in my ear was closed at 92% so it needed to be power drilled.

Now the funny bit they needed to cut off my ear and fold it back on my cheek prior to the drilling so i had to go onto full anesthetic.

Usually they give you a chemical to make you all drowsy and go unconscious,insert a pipe in your throat to make you breathe artificially then they finally give you a muscle relaxant which will stop your breathing (hence the pipe in your throat before).

Unfortunately[}:)][}:)][}:)]the anesthetist must have had a big night the night before and he mislabeled his chemicals while getting ready and gave me the last chemical first


within 5 seconds i loose the ability to speak then my breathing stops
I panic,start fighting and they hold my legs and tell me to relax and take big breaths

well i never got to this relax stage with the build up of c02,i fought like ##$^% for what felt like minutes, then brought a picture of my kids in my head to kiss them goodbye as i knew i was dying.

Remembered a stroboscope of white light then i gave in and passed away.
Luckily they realise something was wrong when i dropped unconscious and turned blue and finally hooked me up on the machine prior to going ahead with the operation anyway

To cut a long story short i got doctors bringing me cappuccinos in bed with a red face for the next couple of days and now i am out of the water for 3 months reduced to launching my mate at Pinaroo and watch them surf perfect 3 foot Jake's point in Kalbarry!!!

Luckily [}:)][}:)] he is the one who cut his foot (harry surfer) and got an infection so he is out of the water too!!! ahhh Karma

Anyway Harry Potter, your theory sounds good but didn't work for me

i hope you didn't pay any money for that surgery!

wow, they probably did the opp anyway in hope you would forget it happened and pass off any recollections as a bad dream you had white under antithetic.
