41-foot wave surf story with photos

Postby billie_morini » Sat Nov 08, 2008 4:04 pm

Non-fictional.

"I went straight over the lip and did about 10 backflips and then pulled a muscle in my shoulder," said surfer Kerby Brown.

Always good shots from this break which is quite similar to Cyclops.

There are a shed load of even sicker shots in the latest riptide of Rawlins paddling in as usual... none of this tow bollox :D

Sure looks it, derbyshire surfer.

I'd simply be awed by going to this thing in a large ship!

I think I would of died after the third back flip. :lol: I dont know how you would be able to not pass out from doing that many flips underwater and getting your arm muscles torn at the same time.

Hi derbysurfer, am trying to hang in there. Was sick through September and October. No surf or exercise possible. Am now beginning to exercise again and hope to be fit to surf soon. In the meantime, many incomplete projects around my home are miraculously being completed.
