Surfing Waves

You Guys probably have already seen this but is it for real? I find it to believe and what would happen to the jet ski?

Tom

Looks real enough to me, Mahooosive wave

Yup, that one's real.

Jet skier (sensibly) fleshes off behind the wave before its broken.

Scary stuff *shudder*

is that Mike Parson at Jaws?

Reminds me of Billabong Surf odessey right near the end of the film

Er, it is Billabong Odyssey, I think...

that's where I remember it from... I'm sure it's Mike Parsons final wave at Jaws where he scored a perfect 10. It's bloody amazing isn't it.

Hehe Cheers DBBB my spelling can be terrible at times

And Thaya it was the next wave he caught that he was scored 10 on I think. He wiped out on his first go, then rode it perfectly on his second attempt.

I didnt mean 'It is spelt...' I meant 'yes, it is that film'

Yea it's Mike Parsons wave at Jaws.

It's stupid, people are calling it the Tsunami?! Loads of video claiming that.

Also..it's not that big compared to real big Jaws, Teahupoo, Cortes, Shark park, Ghost Trees etc..

Yep, intro to the billabong film. What I find weird is, I remember the first time I saw that, probably a year ago, thinking 'Wow, that has to be the biggest wave ever!!' But now, having seen so much footage of big wave surfing, it just doesn't seem as big as I remember it. Looks the same size as Dec's wave... waist high at most

Saw a film (dunno which one tho! ) whilst I was in Morocco, towing in on massive waves like that...the surfer had to duck in the barrel as the jetski dropped over the top of the wave, pretty much right on top of him!

crazeee sheet!

Chopes

yeah i was most impressed by the fact that he didn't lose it...just ducked, missed it, and carried right on! Respect!

Classic

i read an interview with the guy underneath it and apparently he saw a "dark shadow" so he ducked

Wasn't it Ramana or something, and it was him surfing nearly getting wiped out by his own ski (his mate Reef was riding it) I think.

Raimana at a heavy Teahupoo! The PWC misses his head by less than a foot.
