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?

Yup, that one's real.

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

Scary stuff *shudder*

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.

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... :wink: waist high at most

Saw a film (dunno which one tho! :D ) 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! :shock: :shock: :shock:

crazeee sheet! :lol:

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. :?
