    Perhaps when Pangea existed there were some 90 footers...

    And for those that need reminders, Pangea, is when there was just 1 big continent that was surrounded by ocean, before the continental plates moved and broke apart the land masses.

    pretty sure that video isn't real, since his name is michael of the bull (red bull video). Big wave though. Annnd the 2007 winner was skindog and garret mcnamara...not "of the bull".

    wait was that post a joke? i don't get jokes.:confused:
