10-12 ft waves at swami's today! 20 ft overhead at the face! jetskis! helicopters! cops and fire trucks and ambulances lined up on the 101 in case anybody drowned! every surfer who showed up had an entourage - bros for moral support, bros w/ video cameras.
what weirded me out most wasn't the intense size of the surf but
1) i can hear it breaking from my parent's house (this is pretty unusual - we're about 1 km away from the beach but it sounds like i'm standing on the cliffs )
2) seeing swells lined up 5 or 6 deep.

on the newsreels you could see crowds of seabirds gathered round, gulls and pelicans waiting for the sharp rocks to smash soft body and crack his skull open, so they could peck at the sweetbreads and feast on his brains.

i'm not sure if he's in either of those movies (i kinda doubt it), but he has Riding Giants playing in the office to entertain those waiting to see him.
towed in = lame
i can't tell from those photos if he was towed in. i don't see any jet ski in that first photo. also, why is it lame? could you surf those waves w/o it?
― jaxon (jaxon), Saturday, 7 January 2006 01:00 (eighteen years ago) link
man, all towing in is getting a ride to the party. nothing wrong with that.

The doctor in 'riding giants' (a pretty cool fick btw...especially the old 60's footage) was probably Dr. Mark Renneker, kind of a big-shot on the no-cal big-wave scene.
I've towed into pretty big surf (at todos santos), stuff that I'd have no chance of paddling into and making the drop, and given a 4 or 5 months to practice, I would tow into that wave. I'd never paddle into it though. It's really on a total other level of difficulty.

That is the quintessential surf pic for me. Like I said, given a few months of practice (and the will to do it...) I could pull off tow-ins at mavericks. Given a few years (and the balls) I could paddle in at mavericks.Given a few years of concerted practice (and the balls to do it), pretty much anybody could surf big waves. On the other hand, I could surf for hours and hours every day of my life and never ever do a cutback as clean and graceful as that one.
