boarderboy Posted February 19, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Howz about dis? http://surfermag.com/photos/flash/oakley_surfing_life_big_wave_awards_finalists/ Not to question the obvious cojones of the rider in your pic, but there seems to be at least some chance of a prayer that there's a shoulder somewhere out there that this hellman actually has a chance of making. In the link above, however, probably the scariest surf shot I've ever seen, the rider has already made what's makable, and there's "nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, Baby!" If this ride wins the $20,000 prize, I'm betting it goes to this poor SOB's heirs! Trying to ride this mysto offshore reef is #3 on my list of things not to try before I die ...

Dan Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 That's a crazy-looking wave. I'd like to see video to understand how it moves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wavechaser Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Thick wave, no doubt. There is hardcore - and there is dead...it's a VERY fine line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Lr1Lq5ayUE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AnymF_UZHig RIP Jeremy - you knew how to LIVE!! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 That's a crazy-looking wave. I'd like to see video to understand how it moves. I found a sequence of stills from that photo shoot: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fVTrWf6W-Y4 The surfer did get caught by the wave - sounds like it was a pretty hairy ride: http://www.news.com.au/perthnow/story/0,21598,24610703-2761,00.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
