Choose the best big wave surf spots in the the world
Spots that continuosly produce big waves not spots that are out the blue produce 30 footers by a freak storm

thats an odd question, do you mean biggest? or best quality wave over 20ft etc?
ive never been anywhere near that size but i would guess at-
cortez, mavs, waimea, 3rd reef pipe, jaws, just as the best known ones.

maybe, but i dont think chopes wouild be classed as a big wave spot, its super-heavy but you dont often see footage of it breaking as big as that wave laird rode (or that one which ate cory lopez). The risks there are more due to the shallow razor sharp reef and the weight of wave trying to mince you on it, and its heavy even when its 4ft.

yeah jaws should be on that list seeing mike stewart bodyboarding jaws is awesome.
Cortez should be removed because its hardly accessible i mean its 200 miles in the middle of the ocean and only a handfull of people have ever surfed there. (although because no one has ever seen it on a really freakishly big day because of the seclusion it could be a potential spot for the biggest wave ever)
