Could you do it? Would you do it?
80 ft wave....and could he?Ehh. Didn't really stay in the barrel for very long.
80 ft wave....and could he?
And here I thought this was a remarkable feat
Haven’t done larger than overhead but even that is intimidating... especially if you start to pearl dive!There was just a slight sense of sarcasm in my post. The biggest I ever surfed was 14ft during Bertha in '96. It was absolutely terrifying on nearly every drop. So I can't even imagine some of these waves.
Ironically, I was just watching a surfing youtube last night, and it was an entire 7 minutes just of clips of surfers being caught inside at what looked like Mavericks maybe. Trying to duck dive but being too late and getting sucked over the falls, or just staring at a 15 foot wall of whitewash coming at you with no hope.
I almost couldn't sleep afterwards.
