Huge Wave
There are some guys that take it to the next level. They are the elite in the sport of Big Wave Riding.
Whatever it takes is hard for me to fathom, but they must be made of steel none the less.
Chasing a Huge Wave at any where on the Planet, at any time, takes a huge team of people to accomplish, and in the end we get to view an awesome wave on video, and a ride that takes as long in time as it took to shoot.
Following the Waves
Big Wave Surfers that chase the elusive monster waves around the Earths oceans haven’t as yet documented surf-able waves over 70 ft (21 meters) high…as yet.
One of the biggest waves ever surfed was claimed by Mike Parsons at arguably 66 ft. (20 metres) off Cortes Bank, California.
A surfing film called “Riding Giants” depicts big wave riders searching the world with the help of state of the art weather forcasting and satelite imaging to spot the areas of most interest. New spots turn up all the time and are generally called “Secrets” (until it gets out) and places in the Tasman and Pacific Oceans are fast becoming as popular as Cortes and Maverics and Jaws. The video I have attached is one of the above with Mike and if you listen carefully, as it is breath taking, with only the whoosh of the wind, and the smacking of the board on the wave.
