wow!! this should make up for the last post... http://www.surfline.com/video/contests/billabong-xxl-2011-update_50589 amazing !! i dont understand how they can survive sets like that?
that recovery on the first wave was one of the most incredible things i ever seen. had to rewind it a few times.
Shipstern Bluff is so ridiculously heavy...You gotta have a serious set on you to even consider dropping in on a monster like that
crrrrazzzzzy amazing how the bar keeps getting raised each year. it's not "slight increments" either, just more guys charging all over the world. i'll stick to 6-8 ft and perfect, but it's sure fun to watch!
that wave at "the right" in western austrialia was so ridiculous. it looked like the entire ocean was being dumped over that guy
I'd like to see someone get barreled in the step at Shipstern's. It'd be like a barrel inside a barrel then.
I think this is what OP was reffering to, but just to reiterate... do these guys that wipeout normally survive? if so, what sort of damage do they incur?
