Seeking Out 100′ Waves; Surfers & Water Giants
Here’s a cool one. Some of these monster waves have been nicknamed Cyclops & Jaws, and they are the new life-and-death playground for a unique breed of surfers who ride gargantuan ocean waves as big as six story buildings. Quote from story: “This impact is absolutely fullon. You get rag-dolled, you get cartwheeled and you get ripped around violently. You have to learn to ’simply’ relax and try to enjoy it.” Haha.
Awesome story but where are the photos?! Here’s another quote: “If you don’t have any fear, then you probably shouldn’t be out there,” says Cater. “When the lip smacks the water it makes a ominous cracking sound. It’s like thunder for ten seconds.”
