Now that's what I call a wave! And i thought 3m was big lol. Can't wait to hit the surf this summer, it's always fun.

Reminds me of the movie "Big Wednesday"

Looks like Laird Hamilton being towed in by his aussie pal Ross Clarke-Jones. What a job. Thats the stuff that reminds you what living is all about. Not sitting in front of a computer screen in an office all day.

Then you see a wipeout on a 50 foot + wave and say "jeez i'd rather be behind my desk than under that".
