It's like the shape of an "A"
A nice peak and breaks left and right.

:shock: OMFG I've just been staring at that top photo for ages!

Looks like the wave at the begining of September Sessions that Slater gets barrelled and does like 4-5 pumps in the barrell... and it would totally scare the s**t out of me if I was sat on the shoulder looking into the beast. You just know that is soooo shallow and one little slip, one little hiccup during take off - see ya, wouldn't wanna bee ya! :P
