The lads had a cracker there. The wedge/backwash is insane when it works. Shame none of the P.curno shots made it.

You guys know how that smacks like! Tumbles like crazy, you get your body into all kind of weird position and you feel like your arm is tearing apart. And best of all, you could die from drowning! :rock: :rock:

that first one doesn't look real at all :yearght: :yearght:
see how it just cuts off near the right hand side??? or is it a wave that walls straight up, leaving a straight edge on one side??? no way.......besides the guys wouldn't be facing that way if something like that is coming, and there's no way they hadn't noticed... it actually looks like they're gonna go for a wave...... who are u trying to fool???? :unuts: :yearght: :tut: :tut:
wanna see a really big wave???
