00:00In today's episode, Rob Palmer crashes the Red Bull Cliff Dive World Series
00:06where he attempts a death-defying 27-metre dive.
00:10We all head to Fiji for an epic toe-in surf session
00:13with our golden girl, big-wave surfer Flick Palmer Teer.
00:17We party like it's 1999 at 7th Heaven where Miguel cooks up a storm.
00:22I lose my pants, guilty.
00:24Felicity wipes out and Team Top Nots sets Fiji on fire.
00:30All this and so much more, right here on Top Nots.
00:45Hello, everybody, and welcome to the beautiful MHYC.
00:49Just like Mr Denya said, a big, big show coming up.
00:52All right, let's get straight into it.
00:54We are going to meet seven times Red Bull Cliff Diving champion,
00:57Rhianna Nifflin, hit it!
01:15Cliff Diving, it's quite an extreme sport, isn't it?
01:18How do you go from diving off the three-metre at home into the swimming pool,
01:23you know, to 30 metres?
01:26It definitely takes time.
01:28I began in the pool, one-metre, three-metre, ten-metre competing,
01:32and then, yeah, I gradually moved my way up.
01:35I went into entertainment diving,
01:36and then I saw the world of Red Bull Cliff Diving,
01:38and I said, I want to be there.
01:40Do you know how fast you're going by the time you get to the water?
01:44Because 30 metres, you'd pick up some speed, wouldn't you?
01:46Yeah, I believe it's about 70 to 75 k's an hour.
01:50Oh, my.
01:52So when you hit water at that speed,
01:54it doesn't necessarily feel like water, right?
01:56If you get it perfect, maybe.
01:58But otherwise, I feel like when you hit it that speed,
02:00it's like concrete.
02:00You hit the water pretty quick,
02:02and if it goes wrong, it can go very wrong.
02:04Like, there's no denying that,
02:06but I think as a diver, like,
02:07you understand that,
02:11and you do everything you can for it to not happen.
02:13Describe for us the moment when you get it right,
02:16that elation when you come back to the surface,
02:18and you go, I've got this.
02:20Because when you're standing on the platform,
02:21and you're about to take that leap,
02:24there's so much going on like you.
02:26There's so much energy running through your body,
02:28like adrenaline, fear, emotion, focus.
02:34And then you hit the water, and everything goes silent,
02:36and then you pop your head out of the water,
02:37and, you know, it's such a cool feeling.
02:40I can't explain it.
02:41I guess what I can say is doing a good dive
02:43makes you want to go up and do it again.
02:45The adrenaline.
02:46Yeah.
02:50I look at what you do,
02:52and there is no way you would ever catch me
02:54near a six-storey building and jumping off that.
02:56Like, in no way.
02:58Seven times world champion, guys.
03:00And it's, like, it's an extraordinary feat.
03:04And you're still doing it.
03:05You're still obviously enthusiastic about it.
03:07You conquer that fear, and you still keep going.
03:10It's remarkable.
03:11Yeah, that's it.
03:12I think, you know, conquering those fears
03:14and doing things under pressure,
03:16I'm sure you can relate to it.
03:17Like, it just makes you feel alive,
03:19and it makes you just want to continue,
03:21continue doing it.
03:23At the moment, I just feel like it's such a privilege
03:25to have the opportunity to make a living
03:28out of doing something that I love.
03:29I can't see myself hanging up my swimsuit any time soon.
03:32I can relate.
03:32I'm like, no, I'm surfing till the day I die.
03:34Rob also dabbled in a bit of diving when he was younger.
03:41Oh, Rob, that was terrible.
03:43We've got so much more work to do.
03:45And I could tell he wasn't too happy
03:47with Rhiannon stealing all the attention.
03:50But, like, I used to dive a bit when I was younger.
03:52Yeah.
03:53You know, there were a lot of people that did say
03:54that I should go and do it professionally.
03:57I didn't, but, you know, that was the opinion of a lot of people.
04:01They just thought, you're somewhat of a natural.
04:03I don't want to let it go.
04:05If we could go up the pool,
04:06maybe I'll show you a couple of things
04:07that I've been working on.
04:09Like, just to share information with each other, you know,
04:11share tips.
04:12Yeah, 100%.
04:13And techniques.
04:13Yeah, let's do it.
04:14Because you've probably got some things for me.
04:16I've probably got some things for you.
04:17Yeah, I'm curious.
04:19I'm curious to see some of this.
04:20So have you actually had a look down from 27 metres, though?
04:24Well, when I was younger,
04:26I used to work on rooftops quite a lot.
04:28OK.
04:28And waterproofing and stuff like that.
04:30And I would look over the edge, doing edge details.
04:32And you would often look over the edge.
04:33Sometimes you'd spit off the edge.
04:36All right, so what do you say
04:38I give you a couple of diving tips?
04:40Yeah.
04:41You've got to show me what's already in your repertoire.
04:44It's quite extensive.
04:45We can start with a simple jump if you want.
04:47Yeah.
04:48Simple back jump.
04:49Back jump.
04:50Yeah.
04:50So in diving, technically, without a flip first,
04:54you want to just make sure you're jumping backwards
04:56before you go for the flip.
04:59Yeah.
04:59I'm going to go up and then out,
05:02and then I'm going to tuck and roll.
05:03Yeah.
05:04Tuck and roll.
05:05But make sure it's really shallow.
05:07All right, I've got this.
05:13Oh, my.
05:14You know, I was questioning your previous training,
05:18but after that one.
05:20All right, we're ready for the next step.
05:24I feel like we're ready for the next step.
05:25What about forward?
05:27Yeah, just make sure you go forward.
05:31Oh, my gosh.
05:32Oh!
05:33Oh!
05:33You want to just make sure when you go in the water,
05:36you want to grab your hands and lock your elbows.
05:39Just grabbing them like...
05:40Like this.
05:41How do you grab yours?
05:42So like this.
05:44Grab it here,
05:45and then you want to lock it in.
05:47Where's these fingers go?
05:49Let me just curl them around.
05:50Just hold them.
05:51There we go.
05:52So you want to hold there.
05:53Okay.
05:54That's how I used to do it, too.
05:57Nice and streamlined and straight and tight.
06:00Toes pointed when you go through the water.
06:02Let's see.
06:08Oh, my.
06:10Man, check this out.
06:19Oh, look at that.
06:20Oh, that one gave me a heart attack.
06:35At least an eight and a half nine.
06:42How was that, eh?
06:44Look, you've blown me away.
06:45I think you may need a few extra practice sessions.
06:48That was, like, that was pretty good, eh?
06:51I think you need a little bit of work.
06:53He told me he had some previous diving experience,
06:56but that didn't show in our session.
06:58That was pretty bad.
06:59It was obvious that Rhiannon was really impressed
07:01with Rob's diving,
07:03so we decided it might be a good idea
07:05to enter him into the Red Bull Cliff Diving competition.
07:09Red Bull Cliff Dive!
07:10Here we come!
07:11I cannot believe that these idiots are at it again.
07:19This is absolutely going to be a train wreck.
07:25We'll come right back and find out
07:27just how this big cliff diving finale ends,
07:30and you won't believe what happens.
07:32Well, maybe you will, actually.
07:34But first, let's go to Fiji,
07:36where we get to stay
07:37at the most spectacular
07:38Lamani and Plantation Island resorts,
07:41the start of what is
07:42the most beautiful, big surfing adventure
07:45that you could imagine.
07:46Check it out.
07:58Oh, yeah.
07:58Say some news.
07:59Go!
08:00The Top Knotts is all about aquatic adventure,
08:14and to touch down here in Fiji,
08:16to be staying at the Plantation Island resort
08:18with the entire Top Knotts crew
08:19is just the greatest blessing of all.
08:22We are going to have such a good time.
08:25Fiji has got to be one of the greatest places
08:26in the world for water sports and action.
08:30and adventure,
08:30and we're going to have it all.
08:31People here are the most beautiful people in the world.
08:33They touch you with their kindness.
08:35I'm blown away.
08:36I mean, I've been to Fiji a lot of times
08:38in the past to surf,
08:39and I absolutely love it here,
08:40but Lamani is absolutely beautiful.
08:42I mean, you can see it behind me.
08:43There's not a breath of wind.
08:45Everyone in Fiji is so beautiful.
08:47They're so welcoming,
08:49and, I mean, tonight the sunset was amazing.
08:52Got to share a couple of drinks
08:53with, you know, the other hosts.
08:54And to be here with my best friends,
08:58really, mate.
09:02Love you, buddy.
09:05Love you too, mate.
09:07Love you.
09:08I mean, we're going to have so much fun this week.
09:10It is an absolute water playground here.
09:12We are looking for the best times
09:14with all the water activities that Fiji has to offer,
09:17and I can't wait to review it.
09:19I forgot how good the world is, to be honest.
09:21Like, this place is special,
09:24and it's like this aquatic playground
09:26where anything's possible.
09:27It's kind of limitless.
09:29You've got this wonderful mix
09:29of everything you can do with the water,
09:32but there's the cultural aspect of it as well.
09:33You know, the people are beautiful.
09:35They're so full of love and welcoming,
09:37and they're just so proud of their place
09:39that they call home.
09:39Fiji is just magical.
09:42I'm so excited to be finally with the whole team
09:45in Fiji time.
09:46Here we are right now in the most beautiful place.
09:49I mean, listening to the music in the background,
09:52looking at the amazing sunsets.
09:55It's just all the ingredients for a perfect recipe
09:57to have the most amazing adventure.
09:59I mean, this place, wherever you look,
10:01it's something really magical,
10:02almost really hard to comprehend,
10:05but really easy to fall in love with there.
10:06I love Fiji.
10:08I have had so many great trips here,
10:10and I'm very excited about this week.
10:13I've got to tell you,
10:13it's been a while since I've been away with Miguel.
10:18Initially, everything came flooding back to me, right?
10:24But after a day,
10:26his infectious character
10:28and the whole vibe of the bloke
10:30just really lifts it.
10:32For Flick and for Grant and for Rob,
10:35you know, like, they bring the party,
10:38and it's a lot of fun.
10:40It's going to be hard to sort of stick your head up above the crowd with this crew
10:44because they go mark ten.
10:47MUSIC PLAYS
10:49After a few too many Mai Tais,
11:07Felicity was soon swept away
11:09by the beat of the Fijian drums.
11:11MUSIC PLAYS
11:14And, of course, it wasn't too long before Rob also joined in on the act.
11:31MUSIC PLAYS
11:32Before things went horribly wrong.
11:48MUSIC PLAYS
11:49Now, I can stand here and bang on about correct paddling technique,
12:04but sometimes the best way to pick something up
12:06is just to see it done properly.
12:08Watch and learn.
12:10MUSIC PLAYS
12:12I'm so excited to be here at Plantation Island.
12:40It's absolutely beautiful.
12:41This morning, we're heading over to Tavarua Island,
12:44which is one of my favourite places in the world
12:45because it's so close to cloud break.
12:47I think I'm going to have my hands full,
12:49but let's see if I can show these blokes a thing or two about surfing.
12:54MUSIC PLAYS
12:55Oh, I'm so tired of these.
12:56I don't know who I'm surfing.
13:01You are joking there.
13:03Come on.
13:03He's another thing.
13:06MUSIC PLAYS
13:07I'm watching the surf, Miguel.
13:09Uh, oh, journal, journal!
13:12Oh, journal!
13:12Out of all the places in the world,
13:22one of the most exclusive surf resorts that you can stay at.
13:26And its proximity to cloud break is what makes it so special.
13:29It's literally just a short boat ride around the corner.
13:32What side of the island are you normally surfing?
13:33Cloud break's on the other side of the island,
13:35and that holds anywhere from two to three foot to 20 to 30 foot.
13:39I reckon there's a few little waves that we can take advantage of.
13:42Who wants to get amongst it?
13:43Yeah!
13:44Let's roll!
13:44Yeah!
13:45Yes, do it!
13:45Come on!
13:46Let's see what's going on.
13:48Yay!
13:48Guys, this is Stu.
13:49This is Stu.
13:50Oh, I wouldn't have been a hug for you!
13:53Come on!
13:54Big D!
13:54If it comes to big wave surfing,
13:56or surfing any sort of waves of consequence,
13:58we'd be the jet ski driver.
14:00Safety is the most important thing.
14:02Not only is Stu putting you on the waves,
14:04but he's also rescuing at times.
14:07Yeah.
14:08So my job isn't just to look good on the jet ski and the channel.
14:10That's 80 percent!
14:12The job is really to be there when stuff hits the fan.
14:15You know, when things go wrong,
14:17or when things are inevitably going to happen,
14:20which is a surfer goes down in a heavy situation.
14:23Jet ski drivers got to rip in before that next big wave hits them,
14:27pick them up, reach out that hand, rip them up onto the sled,
14:31and get them out of harm to it.
14:32You've got to be selfless too, though, yeah?
14:34Like, put yourself at risk to save others.
14:37It's exhilarating to do a rescue.
14:39You want it.
14:40You know, you have to commit.
14:41How many seconds is that on average?
14:43Like, you don't have a lot of time.
14:45It's really key that you get in there quickly.
14:47You'll see it when somebody falls on a big wave here at Cloudbreak,
14:50or big waves around the world,
14:52they'll travel 100 meters underwater in about five, six seconds.
14:56Wow!
14:57And struggling to climb up.
14:59Without having, like, a school pilot,
15:01I mean, you're nothing, really.
15:03I mean, even when it comes to toe surfing, right,
15:05obviously the surfer on the wave does the work,
15:08but it's all up to the jet ski driver
15:10to really position you in the perfect spot.
15:12So when you let go of the rope,
15:13you're in the perfect position to get the best height of your life.
15:16So our job is we're actually helping the surfers
15:20when they know they have that confidence of us
15:22watching out for them on the side.
15:23It adds that extra level of comfort,
15:26brings their heart rate down even more.
15:28They know they got somebody watching out for them when they hit.
15:30So I mean, I guess in the kitchen your head chef and the sous chef,
15:33they got each other's back.
15:34Is that, like, the same relationship here?
15:36Really, you know, it's complete trust in the driver
15:39and their rate on the line-up, their awareness, their preparation.
15:43And it's almost like, I don't know, brotherhood or a sisterhood
15:45and you really feel that camaraderie within the big wave world.
15:48So it's more of an intimate relationship.
15:50Because your life is essentially in their hands, you know.
15:53So we're going to head out.
15:55And if you guys are up for it, do you want to have a go?
15:58Yes!
15:59Nice speech, guys. We'll see you out there.
16:01Look after our girl.
16:18We're out there.
16:19One more time.
16:20Good on everything.
16:29You did it.
16:36Thisוץ group he's on Network activities,
16:38which was suggested over $25,000.
16:42That was actually pretty close.
16:45With Flick showing the way, the rest of us were just building the courage to join her.
17:09You sure you're going to do this?
17:11Well, I didn't come here to get us on turn.
17:13No, you did not.
17:14And not at all.
17:15I'm going to join you.
17:16Guess I better jump in with it.
17:17You going?
17:18Yes, sir.
17:19Yes.
17:20You know, I'm used to surfing at a beach where there's sand.
17:23Here's a reef.
17:24There's land is miles away.
17:26And you come off here and you come off on coral and that stuff cuts you out bad.
17:30I would love to say that I'm feeling confident, but my mum told me never to tell lies.
17:34So I'm not.
17:37He's going to battle, battle, battle.
17:39Go get him, Tiger.
17:41Yee-hoo!
17:42I don't know if you should go there, man.
17:43You can't even put the leg rope on.
17:45This doesn't feel safe.
17:47No, I'm just making it look easy.
17:48I don't know if he's the bravest or the dumbest person I've ever met.
17:51The confidence is 11.
17:55The ability is one and a half.
17:58Catch one.
18:01It wasn't just the surf that was scaring Mig.
18:03The sight of a large fin sent him scurrying back to the boat in a hurry.
18:08It's a fin!
18:09It's a shark!
18:10It's a sort of fin!
18:13Did you see the fins?
18:14Of course I saw.
18:15It was a shark in there.
18:17It wasn't a dolphin.
18:18It was a massive fin in there.
18:19Ever since the shark dive, Miguel hasn't got sharks off his mind.
18:23And whatever it was, it really spooked him.
18:25How many waves do you reckon you've got?
18:28You look good out there.
18:28Your form was good.
18:29I think I've got none.
18:33None, okay.
18:34Zero.
18:34While Miguel recovered from his brush with death, Rob and Tom joined Flick for an epic toe-in
18:40surfing session.
19:10Stop it, stop it, you guys.
19:37That is one angry reef.
19:38There you go.
19:39I was standing on it.
19:42I was up to my waist.
19:42I got caught inside and just punished for about five minutes.
19:46Five minutes?
19:46All I can say is thank God for that ski.
19:48But you got like a double of water.
19:49I caught one and went down it and then got to the bottom and it just sucked me up.
19:55I missed the bottom turn.
19:56It sucked me up, threw me over the falls and just like, just bang.
19:59I was like, fuck out.
20:01It was heavy.
20:01It doesn't look as heavy as it is.
20:03Like, they're small waves by Flick standards, but by my standards, far out.
20:09It was heavy when it hit you.
20:10In stark contrast to my dismal effort, Felicity returned to a hero's welcome.
20:16Yeah, that's great.
20:22Unreal, man.
20:23Unreal.
20:24Finally back in my element.
20:26Oh, man.
20:26I feel like I'm connected again.
20:29I'm not connected before.
20:30It's majestic out there.
20:31No, it was amazing.
20:32It was perfect for it.
20:33I mean, just went around the corner, found a little wave, all to ourselves.
20:37Really, does it get much better?
20:38Respect for you on the towing stuff.
20:40That is, that is difficult.
20:43You come in, you let go and you think, I've got this.
20:45And then you go too slow, then you go too fast, then you go too steep.
20:47And I was like, oh, no, here comes the reef.
20:50No, you nailed it, though.
20:51You got one that you should be pretty proud of.
20:53I got one.
20:53I was pretty good.
20:53Was that the first time you've ever towed?
20:55Towed into something like that, yeah.
20:56Yeah, it's so sick.
20:58No, you should be proud.
20:59It's good.
20:59Are these hacks getting into a few dodgy spots there occasionally when you're out there watching?
21:04Yeah, well, this wave doesn't have a channel.
21:06So once you get stuck inside, you're stuck.
21:08So it's a good thing we had to ski here today.
21:10And Miguel, how do you go?
21:11Oh, you know, I got really scared when I started to see how big the waves are.
21:15It's amazing to watch all of you guys.
21:18And especially, like, you working your magic for the waves.
21:21It's all up to choose.
21:23Choose the master.
21:23You guys are fantastic.
21:24It makes me look good.
21:25The cooperation of you guys when you've got it going on, when you're in sync and you're
21:30a tight, like, unit, that's when the magic happens.
21:33You're so inspiring.
21:34I actually wanted to learn how to say it.
21:36Yeah!
21:37That could be a whole series.
21:39We can definitely make that happen.
21:39That is how inspiring was to watch all of you guys.
21:42Magic day.
21:43Getting to meet the whole crew.
21:45You know, obviously, Flick gets the gold medal today.
21:49I was probably pretty close, though, wasn't I?
21:50Yeah, you were right there behind her.
21:52Second place.
21:53Hey, Silver.
21:53Silver so we can hang that on the mantel.
21:56What a fantastic day.
21:57Thank you guys for letting me be a part of it.
21:59Everyone's safe, smiling.
22:00See you next time.
22:02Hey, binaka, binaka, binaka.
22:04That's all, man.
22:05Binaka!
22:06No way!
22:07Binaka!
22:07Let's go.
22:13Such a great morning.
22:14Surf all to ourselves.
22:15So many waves.
22:16I reckon there's no better place to unwind than Seventh Heaven.
22:19A few drinks, a bit of food, a bit of fun.
22:23Yes!
22:23Seventh week!
22:24We're going to get on.
22:25Look at that.
22:26Woo!
22:26Woo!
22:27Woo!
22:27Come on!
22:28Here comes the party!
22:32It didn't take long for the Top Knotts crew to unwind with a couple of spicy mocktails.
22:36We're going to get on.
23:06I was having so much fun.
23:36And I was so hungry.
23:38So I decided it was time for me to take control of the kitchen.
23:42Welcome to the Seventh Heaven.
23:44What?
23:44How can I help you today?
23:45My name is Miguel Maestre.
23:46I'll be your chef for the lunch service.
23:49Very good.
23:50Yeah, so would you like to order the maji-maji?
23:52Or the maji-maji.
23:54What kind of pizza?
23:55Margarita?
23:56Oh, look, I'm going to let you decide.
23:57But don't get this wrong, all right?
23:59Okay.
23:59We're in your hands.
24:00Difficult customer.
24:01I like it.
24:02Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we're just going to make a Tony Peperoni Pizza.
24:06Okay, the secret of a really nice pizza is having a nice namboli sauce.
24:10So you need to use the bag with the spoon to go all the way to the limits.
24:13And this customer is a little bit difficult.
24:16So we're probably going to put a little bit more chili and spice things up.
24:20I think I felt a little bit of attitude at the guy with Kelly.
24:22Hey, what's his name?
24:24Roberto?
24:25Yeah, he was a little bit mean.
24:26So you make sure you don't go all the way to the edges.
24:28So you get a lovely crust.
24:30A little bit of cheese.
24:31Don't go to graze it with the cheese.
24:32Just enough to cover all the spots.
24:36And of course, a really good pizza.
24:38Have like a really nice extra virgin olive oil.
24:41Touched for the very first time.
24:43Like the great Madonna saved once.
24:45It's very important.
24:46Yeah, a little drizzle of this.
24:48And kind of use a little bit of the chilies, yeah?
24:50Yeah.
24:51Typical customers.
24:52A little bit of chili.
24:54Just because I'm worthwhile and L'Oreal.
24:56And some salt and pepper and the pepperoni.
24:58I go straight to the oven.
24:59Yeah.
25:00Yeah.
25:01Scatter the toppings.
25:03And let's put it in the oven.
25:04See what these guys think?
25:06Service!
25:08But you know what they say?
25:09If you can handle the heat, get out of the kitchen.
25:11And these two guys, it felt to me a little bit cheesy.
25:15So I think a little bit of more cheese will go a long way just to settle the argument.
25:22Okay.
25:24Give me a couple of minutes.
25:26I mean, this restaurant really honored his name.
25:29The seventh heaven.
25:31You couldn't get more heaven than this.
25:33I mean, turquoise waters.
25:36A beautiful pizza, Napoli-style, cooked to order.
25:39People having fun.
25:40The sound of the music.
25:42The limbo competition.
25:44The margaritas.
25:45The tequila.
25:46I mean, this is a real heaven.
25:49And for us at Top Notes, it's so exciting to take over this kitchen.
25:53Just for a little bit.
25:54Not sure about the customers.
25:56Bam.
25:56Pretty happy all the plates.
25:58A little more chili in the pizza.
25:59Normally, we put too many toppings in the kitchen if you want to do a pizza.
26:06But the secret of a nice pizza, have a lovely bread crust with lots of tomato sauce.
26:11And just enough toppings to enjoy every single slice.
26:15I mean, you're looking for that beautiful caramelized cheese.
26:19Start working on that toasty amazing.
26:21Okay.
26:22I think, um...
26:24A ver, una, dos.
26:27Es cuatro.
26:28You know, the secret is just when it's still real hot.
26:33Hoppa.
26:36Yoppa!
26:37Ladies and gentlemen.
26:38Vamos!
26:40What the boys didn't realize is how much chili I added to the pizza.
26:46The secret of a really hard customer is just giving them a little bit of kindness.
26:52Killing them with flavor.
26:54Ladies and gentlemen, a little bit of a pizza margarita.
26:56Oh, wow.
26:57Okay.
26:57A little bit of pepperoni.
26:59Wow.
26:59Here's what you ordered.
27:01See ya.
27:02Is that a spicy?
27:04No.
27:04How much chili did you use?
27:06Oh, yes, a little bit of chili.
27:07Come and roll it over here.
27:10Jesus Christ.
27:11You know what you...
27:12I smell a stitcher.
27:14Come on, no, it's not a stitcher.
27:15I can see the chili.
27:17It's beautiful.
27:18No, it's not.
27:18It's not a stitcher at all.
27:19I can see.
27:20It's delicious.
27:21French tolerance.
27:22Look at this.
27:23The hot food is pretty high.
27:24Look at this.
27:25Yeah, I'm grateful customers.
27:27I'm electric burning.
27:29More of the...
27:29Oh, no.
27:30It's not so hot.
27:32No.
27:36After Miguel's burning hot pizza,
27:39I thought it was time for us all to cool off
27:40with a bit of a diving competition.
27:43Woo.
27:44We're at seventh heaven.
27:45I'm curious.
27:46We're high up over the water.
27:47What do you have in mind?
27:48Diving competition.
27:50Rob, you should be pretty good at this.
27:51Oh, you should be.
27:52Amazing.
27:53We're in the seventh heaven.
27:54So we're quite high.
27:55I don't know if it's fair for you guys.
27:56Who's going first?
27:57Or ladies first?
27:59I like first.
28:00Yeah, of course.
28:02Okay.
28:02We're good again.
28:03What are you going to attempt?
28:04I don't like heights.
28:06You don't like heights?
28:07You're so 30 foot waves.
28:10I hate heights.
28:11Here it doesn't look high.
28:12Just keep running.
28:13Go go to the edge.
28:14Don't look over.
28:15Just keep running.
28:16I don't like heights.
28:18I actually don't know if I can do it.
28:19Come on.
28:22She's struggling.
28:23I think she's doing it.
28:24We found the only chick in the field.
28:27Oh, that's so good.
28:32Oh, did she go sideways?
28:36Oh, I don't know if that was through it going on.
28:45It was a little bit of age.
28:46It was like she went over.
28:48Ready, Jake?
28:49Go, G.
28:50I'm tired of how it looks, man.
28:52I'm running, man.
28:54Go, dummy!
28:56Running, man.
29:00Come on, Miguel.
29:01No, no.
29:02I want to go last.
29:02Okay, you go last.
29:03I'm going out.
29:04This is how you do it, boys.
29:05Come on.
29:06Come on!
29:06Oh, my God.
29:10He flew like a bird.
29:13Cool is that.
29:14That one's a face.
29:14Did you see that?
29:15A face of belly.
29:19I love you.
29:20Yeah?
29:21Send it, Miguel.
29:22Send it.
29:23Should I be here?
29:23Miguel!
29:25Don't think about it.
29:26Oh!
29:26Are you ready, Jets?
29:38Here we go.
29:41Watch it!
29:42Oh, my God!
29:46Holy s***, that was good.
29:51And the winner is...
29:52Mr. Crosby!
29:54Oh, my God!
29:56Oh, my God!
29:57How's that?
29:58Natalie took them in this time.
29:59Chase today.
30:00I hate today.
30:02I've been doing it for years.
30:03I'm glad it paid off.
30:05What did I tell you guys?
30:06This was going to be so much fun.
30:08Off the hook.
30:09This place is wild.
30:11Great pizza, mate.
30:12Thanks so much for lunch.
30:13I mean, sweet blood and tears.
30:15I'm for killer.
30:16Thanks for putting the chef hat on
30:17and cooking us some fish.
30:18It was a pleasure.
30:19I think you've got a course to manage,
30:20but let's make a read this.
30:22Gee, you're impressive off the hook.
30:23What was it up here?
30:24Oh, did you?
30:25Was it my technique?
30:26Oh, what was it?
30:27Oh, my God!
30:30How much fun is this?
30:31It's wild, right?
30:32It doesn't get better than this.
30:32These locations, these kind of experience,
30:34these beautiful people,
30:35life's pretty good.
30:377th heaven.
30:37Great mace, great places.
30:39Salud!
30:407th heaven!
30:41Yay!
30:42Oh, my God.
30:45Wow!
30:46Wow!
30:46Wow!
30:47Wow!
30:47Wow!
30:48Wow!
30:48Wow!
30:49Wow!
30:49Wow!
30:50Wow!
30:50Wow!
30:51Wow!
30:52What a party!
30:56I like big butts,
30:58but I can't no lie!
31:00Speaking of big things,
31:03I think that pixelation
31:04wasn't anywhere near big enough.
31:06It should be much larger.
31:09Classic stuff, man.
31:10Oh, we got more than we expected there.
31:13Dang, that's why they call me
31:14the flying cashew.
31:15Smiggy!
31:18Now, Smiggy of diving.
31:20Ah, now it's time to find out
31:21how our big fella goes.
31:23Hey.
31:23The Red Bull Cliff Diving Series
31:26with our man Tom
31:27as his gun coach.
31:29Next up, representing Australia,
31:46Rob Palmer.
31:48Rightio, it's showtime.
31:51That's you.
31:52You're going to be great.
31:53Just remember all of your training,
31:55okay?
31:55And, ah, no fear.
31:58No, mate.
31:58Let's warm up.
31:59Come on.
31:59Come on, push-ups.
32:00Let's go.
32:00She's got a good motivator.
32:01Yeah.
32:02On push-ups?
32:02Yeah, come on.
32:03We're jumping off a cliff.
32:04How are you doing?
32:05All right.
32:06Get your mind in.
32:07Get your focus.
32:09Remember your training.
32:11Just focus.
32:14It's not that high.
32:15You've done bigger things before.
32:18You have.
32:19Don't look at that high for me.
32:20Nah.
32:20I can't believe this.
32:21This cannot be happening right now.
32:24Okay.
32:24The water's my friend, Tom.
32:25All right.
32:26The water's my friend.
32:26Get him.
32:30Next up, representing Australia,
32:33is debutante Rob Palmer,
32:36preparing for his first Red Bull Cliff Dive
32:39and on the biggest stage.
32:41To be honest, I've never heard of him before
32:44and I've just been told this will be his first dive ever.
32:48Just a couple of things to remember when you jump off.
32:52Just feet first.
32:54Feet first.
32:54Feet first.
32:55Yeah, no.
32:56It's changed my dive.
32:57Big tip.
32:57Any tips?
32:58Don't look down.
32:59It's probably the first tip.
33:00It's not like I'm jumping off the harbour bridge, is it?
33:02Ten metre?
33:04Oh, no, all the way at the top.
33:05All the way at the top?
33:06Yeah, yeah, like...
33:06All right.
33:07My best tip is good luck.
33:10Legend.
33:16Oh!
33:16I didn't realise it was quite this high.
33:20You're not even halfway.
33:22Coach, what kind of dive have you got lined up for Rob?
33:26I think he's just going to wing it.
33:29Right, wing it.
33:32Off the 30 metre board.
33:35Look, I think in these situations,
33:37a lot of the training might go out the window.
33:41Oh, mate.
33:45Oh, I'm getting a bit dizzy.
33:49Strike must be altitude thing.
33:50Have a seat.
33:51Altitude.
33:52Hey, what do you think's taking so long up there?
33:55Flick, the wiring is too much.
33:58I'm not entirely sure about this.
34:01Tom said that this might happen.
34:03Oh, stop it.
34:13Oh, far out.
34:14Hey, Tom.
34:16Do you still think this is a good idea?
34:19Don't think about the height.
34:21Just think about the tricks.
34:22Oh, they said not to look down.
34:25I've looked down.
34:27To me right now, it looks like he's struggling.
34:29It looks like he's on his knees.
34:31No.
34:32No, that's just how he gets into it, you know?
34:36That's how he just gets connected to the platform.
34:40And then he'll stand up and he'll fly.
34:43Oh, no.
34:43Oh, stop it.
34:48I can't just walk down now, can I?
34:51Like, they're all watching.
34:52The whole world's watching.
34:55Oh, I should have listened to Flick.
34:57I should have listened to Flick.
34:59Oh, I don't know about it.
35:00It looks so high to me and he's scared of heights.
35:04I just, I'm not sold.
35:05You've got to help the faith, mate.
35:07OK, OK, OK, OK, OK, OK.
35:09I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going.
35:11I'm going.
35:12Average score this year on this dive is 139.45.
35:17Scores from the judges.
35:18Man, this is huge.
35:19You've got to get nine and a halves.
35:20Nine and a halves.
35:21Nine and a halves from the judges.
35:225.1 DD.
35:23Come on, mate, this is it.
35:24Everyone's watching.
35:26Let's go, mate.
35:29It's all that execution now.
35:35Oh, my goodness!
35:38Are you kidding me?
35:42Come on, he absolutely did it.
35:49He did it.
35:50He did it.
35:51He did it.
35:55Oh, you guys.
35:58And that is how we do that.
36:01So good.
36:03I had my doubts, but you pulled it off.
36:05I told you.
36:06I told you he would.
36:07Thanks, guys.
36:08I'm not going to lie.
36:10One or two moments up there, I didn't feel quite as confident as I thought I was going to.
36:14But, you know, at the end of the day, you've just got to jump.
36:17This is intense.
36:20Intense.
36:21That's an understatement.
36:24This is Brian Bione.
36:29The best.
36:30Well done.
36:31Oh, you guys.
36:32Couldn't have done it with you.
36:33Okay.
36:33Couldn't have done it with you.
36:35I've got to admit, I wasn't the most supportive.
36:37But every team needs a sensible head.
36:39And you are a sensible head.
36:42Calculated risk.
36:43I might go again.
36:44You've got to go, nah, nah, I've probably missed my spot.
36:47You have to have been scared up there.
36:49Surely.
36:49Not one bit.
36:50Talk about beginner's luck.
36:52With that dive, Rob Palmer now moves into third position overall.
36:58You're in third place.
36:59You're kidding me.
37:00Third place.
37:02Brooks.
37:05Hello.
37:06This is something else.
37:09Oh, you guys.
37:11You guys.
37:12Party good.
37:13Yeah.
37:39During this series, you're going to find that I am full of boating tips that you can use
37:47to keep yourself safe and have more fun on the water.
37:50Look at this.
37:51Stand up paddle board or SUP.
37:54The diehard boaties.
37:55Sup.
37:56Right now, I'm going to give you some tips.
37:58Show you how to make a ride on this little girl.
38:00You know, far more in Georgian.
38:33What did we just watch?
38:35Come on.
38:36Third in the world.
38:37Done all with my pants on too, didn't you?
38:41That's unbelievable.
38:43All right, guys, let's put our serious hats back on
38:45because we're heading back to Fiji.
38:47A massive swell is heading to the island,
38:49sending our very own flick into a ladder.
38:52This is a surf session you will never forget.
38:59Tell us what's going through your mind right now.
39:01We're heading out to Cloud Break,
39:03and it's absolutely stomping.
39:05I think it's going to be about 8 to 10 foot
39:06and I think we're going to be surprised
39:08at a few of the sets we're going to see come through today.
39:11It's Cloud Break's one of the best waves in the world
39:13and to see it like this is actually a miracle.
39:21Here we go, boys.
39:22Thank you, guys.
39:23We're on here.
39:23Oh, my God.
39:29Holy s**t.
39:31Oh, my God, man.
39:33That's hectic.
39:35Okay, boys, I'm going to get it out there.
39:37It's absolutely pumping.
39:38Who's coming with me?
39:40Not me.
39:40I'm really keen.
39:41I've had this coffee and I should wait a little bit.
39:44Mum said half an hour.
39:45You'll have to settle.
39:46This is a dream of mine
39:47to surf Cloud Break at this size
39:49with these conditions.
39:50I've never done it before.
39:51I've only surfed it when it's been a bit smaller.
39:53It's absolutely pumping right now.
39:55I'm pretty excited.
39:56So I'm going to stop talking to you
39:57and I'm going to get out there.
39:59I'll be right behind you
40:00once this coffee's done and settled.
40:04That's our flick.
40:05I've got a large coffee as well.
40:07It's going to take eight.
40:08Yeah, it wasn't a...
40:09That's Macchiato.
40:14Holy s***.
40:19Go, girl!
40:20Yes!
40:21She's ripping!
40:29Yes, go, girl!
40:30Yes!
40:33He's done!
40:35Yeah!
40:38Oh, my God!
40:51Oh!
40:55Oh, yeah!
41:05Yeah!
41:06Yeah!
41:08Yeah!
41:22Thank you!
41:24She's ripping!
41:29Give me some, give me some!
41:31Yeah!
41:34She's done!
41:38Whoa!
41:43Yeah!
41:49Holy .
41:52Shit.
41:53Oh!
41:56Yeah!
41:58After a series of epic rides, Flixluck finally runs out
42:03when she's monstered by a giant set and dragged across the reef.
42:08Oh, no!
42:10Oh, no!
42:11She's under!
42:13Oh, shoot!
42:14Oh, guys, breath hole.
42:15Where is she?
42:16She's in the mirror of the White Wards.
42:17Getting covered there by all the waves.
42:19Where's she gone?
42:20She's gone.
42:21She's under.
42:22She's under.
42:23She's gone in.
42:24There she is.
42:25Oh, man.
42:26Where's the ski?
42:28Yeah, where?
42:29Isn't the ski here for all this purpose?
42:31Oh, .
42:32She's all right.
42:33She's paddling across, but she's getting real close to that reef.
42:36She's super close to the reef now.
42:38Oh, .
42:39And she's just getting hit by another one.
42:42Oh, flick, mate.
42:43Oh, we really let her down with that jet ski.
42:46.
42:47She's walking on reef.
42:48Bare feet on reef.
42:50So she's slicing her feet up.
42:52Oh, man.
42:54I think it's been rough.
42:56Thankfully, apart from a few cuts to my feet and a bruised ego,
43:00I somehow managed to survive my reef tour.
43:03She was pushed under for ages.
43:05Got pushed onto the reef.
43:06Had to walk the reef.
43:07And then she goes, I'm going back out.
43:09While I may have dodged a bullet, it ended up being a special day
43:12and one I'll never forget.
43:14Yeah, mate.
43:16How was it?
43:17Oh, so fun.
43:18You were ripping out there, though.
43:20Got a couple.
43:21Got a couple.
43:22Took a little bit of bark off.
43:23This really is one of the most special parts of the world.
43:26When it comes to surfing and bucket list waves you want to surf,
43:29Cloud Break is definitely one of them.
43:31And we're pretty lucky to have gotten it as good as we did on this shoot.
43:34I can't tell whether this makes me want to take up surfing
43:36or never try surfing in my life.
43:44Whatever you do, do not miss our next episode of Top Notch
43:48where Mr. Grant Daniel puts everything on the line
43:51with a world water speed record.
43:54Now, let me put this into perspective.
43:5680% of people who try this record die.
44:00Then it's off to surf school with former world surfing champ
44:04Mr. Tommy Carroll.
44:06We try a hand at flyboarding
44:08where things spiral totally out of control.
44:11All this and so much more
44:13right here on your home of entertainment,
44:16Top Notch!
