Surfing Waves

Posted: **Mon Jun 02, 2008 10:49 pm**

Hi,

A few years ago I saw a poster in a shop of an absolutely huge wave, which was about to crash onto a shallow and possibly exposed reef (my memory's a bit rusty on this bit). The best thing about the photo is that to the side of the breaking wave where the sea is flat there are a group of surfers, who are all staring at this wave in awe.

It's an amazing photo and I'd be really grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction as to where I can find it. I'm not sure but I think the photo was taken in Hawaii.

Any help would be much appreciated,

Thanks

Rob

What a great photo. I was thinking Chopoo but I think Teahupoo is probably it.

Craziest part is that the top of the wave is sea level. Just a huge hydrolic.

Thanks RJD, I really appreciate that. I'm not a surfer at all but that photo just stuck in the memory; I just love the fact that you know everyone is thinking the same thing - every single surfer is staring at it in astonishment! I'll definitely get that photo blown up and framed.

Thanks CHarvey for the vid link too, it's mind blowing!!

Cheers
