jesus, it looks real to me, although there is a bit of time lag between the wave breaking and him surfing out on the white water.
but it looks real, if it's a fake they did a good job..................

Can I ask why you post such a rude reply??

We all know that you frequent just about any and every surf related chat forum going (makes one wonder how and when you ever do any work) and like to make out you are the bees knees and 'knower of all things', but being a bit more gracious wouldn't go amiss once in a while!!

Its been around ages and like pw said posted at least two times on here to my knowledge.


And so have most threads about new boards, what wetsuit to buy, newbie advice, etc, etc, etc

Perhaps PW should take it on himself to ridicule each of those posts too ...... ??

Some of you need to remember what it was like to be new on forums rather than acting like some sort of self appointed mafia, because it doesn't give a good impression.

If you had nothing to add, then better to say nothing, rather than have a go at someone for making what was a perfectly innocent post??

Ridicule in my mind would be " you fleshin' idiot, its a fake which has been posted loads of times!! what kind of moron are you??!" Which would have been uncalled for. Nah it was more of a mild joke which gets pulled out occaisionally. Personally I would have preferred a cat pic one :wink:

I agree, some of your previous posts could have done with that line. :twisted:

Yep, they showed it on the Discovery Channel show Mythbusters, where they summarily tested it and busted it, because the amount of explosive needed to create a surfable wave, would kill you with it's concussive force before you could even start paddling for the wave.
Sorry to burst anyone's bubble on that one. :(

Ok to settle it. The wave and the surfer are real. I believe it was at Mavs, but the whole hurricane thing isn't. I mean how can there be offshore winds in a hurricane?!
