    This is a video posted on SI. Watched it yesterday... The first minute of the video is just guys getting pounded.... In the last minute, it seems to mellow out and a couple guys make it, but this wave looks pretty legit. Just too fast too surf almost.

    WTF is that at 2:10? Looks like some kinda anchor/hook made out of rebar. Using it to pull bodies off the bottom?

    unreal, no thanks
    that waves was empty and there were no houses on the bluff in 04

    and tlok, recon its a homemade anchor. I blew up the brushguard on our rental truck and a local fixed it for 16$, I gave him a 20 and called it a day, Targa rent a car never knew.....

    Kinda what I was figuring. Looks a lot like the hooks they use to drag the lake though when someone drowns.

    2 of my favorite phrases for everything in life

    u gotta pay to play
    and no pain no gain.

    so next time ur on the brink of drowning,just think of those terms.

    Truth. That's the visual definition of "getting shotted over the falls". Thrown like a slab.

    How bout the dude paddling out in the impact zone at the :41 mark? Was his body and board split in thirds or just in half?
