[R6_kid]

mean wave, but not a tsunami like the vid suggests.

When I lived at Maroubra only bodyboarders surfed this wave called 'Ours', and for there trouble they get called pussies by standup guys

Shots of hard liquor + flowboarding = broken bodies

Man, that looks terrifying. It looks like he's running away from some sort of massive claw.

There are way too many people in that pool. That would be horrible. Looks pretty cool though.

They are all photoshopped.

Some wave!

Some don't.

[Big Dave]

They are all photoshopped.

20 years ago I got a medal from the governor for jumping in to that sort of wave - attempting save an old bloke who washed out in it - it was breaking at 14 feet.

Now the Bras do it for kicks!

I also have a scar from a similar surfboard fin wound on my mellon. Blood like you couldn't photoshop.

I have been wanting to add to this collection of surf oddities for a while now, and this video deserves a place. Cloudbreak in Fiji is a wonder of the surfing world.

Since the last post in this thread, *paddle in big wave surfing* has taken off, mainly due to the surf ski to facilitate rescue, and advances in big wave board design. A few years ago, no one was paddling into monster waves, just tow in with a ski. The big wave charging crew, travel the world and meet up in the water when waves like this happen around the globe.

Tonight on Maori TV is a doco called Boardheads... could be a good watch

Boardriding Dramatically Changes Lives, Empowers Minds, Builds Healthy Bodies and Frees the Spirit. Boardheads is An Action Sports Documentary with a Ton of Heart. (premiere)
