TTQ B4U Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Skills and Balls of Steel. I'll stick to laying on the beach watching the chicks with a drink in my hand. Wish I could do that shit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boosted98gst Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 i surfed for 14 years, and would never attempt to be towed in on a huge wave like that, they say 60 foot waves , but waves are measured on the backside, the face of that wave is huge.

coltboostin Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 I almost drowned riding waves that were 20-25 foot face at a place called Waimea bay. Some of the waves at Jaws have had 80+foot faces, with is just ridiculous. You cant appreciate how dangerous that is-unless you get crushed by some 30 footers like me, or actually crunch the numbers and see how heavy that much water is, and how much force is behind it. Funny thing about Jaws-is that its only up every so often, when conditions are right. Most days the water is dead flat. Last time I was down there I checked it out, and people were fucking snorkling it was so flat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 Someday I hope to see some waves like that. As in sitting on the beach and looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Science Abuse Posted August 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 You cant appreciate how dangerous that is-unless you get crushed by some 30 footers like me, Fuck 30 feet, I got taken down and rolled across a 3' deep sand bar by a 3some of 6 footers on fresh water. The first on took me down and the rest kept me rolling so that I couldn't get up. I finnaly broke the surface in about a fott and a half of water on the sand bar, I was rolled about 50 feet. Last time I was down there I checked it out, and people were fucking snorkling it was so flat! Cuz it's a reef. There's some cool wave modeling data out there that goes over how the waves push up.

coltboostin Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 That looks like Teahupoo. Even though Jaws on a big day usually gives a bigger set, thats the most dangerous wave in the world. Not due to flying jet skis, but the volume of the curl is insane. Think of volume=width. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 That looks fun but I can't even skateboard so I will stay at the beach bar and toast to the guy with big balls instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Apex Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 It's amazing to see that stuff. I remember the first 6-8foot wave I caught body boarding, it's an unreal feeling catching the waves. That stuff there is something I could only watch.
