Lewis Hamilton recalled a chilling experience while surfing in Hawaii, where he thought it was 'all over.'
During the latest episode of 'Hot Ones,' Seven-time Formula 1 world champion, Lewis Hamilton, shared an alarming recount of his near-death experience while surfing at Pipeline in Hawaii, a location notorious for its formidable waves. The champion diverged from racing tracks to tackle 20-foot waves, describing a moment when he believed 'it was all over.'The harrowing incident underscores the risks extreme sports pose even to seasoned athletes like Hamilton.
''I turn around and see this set of four waves coming and that for me was like: 'it's over, it's all over.' As I threw my board, I dove down and grabbed the reef and I could hear this wave crash behind me. My board got ripped and snapped in half.'I came back up, obviously gasping for air and the next one was coming so back down, grabbed the reef again as another wave comes over. So I did that three times. I got up, I'd nearly run out of air.
