Since it’s that time of the year when lists, best ofs and greatest-of-the-year vids are all over the place, we thought you surf lovers out there would enjoy watching these beastly waves take down some of the world’s best waveriders. Scary, yes. Humbling, you damn right.
When you hear a guy like Garret McNamara, one the the world’s premiere big-wave gunners talk about not knowing which way was up or down and getting consistently pummeled by wave after wave before being able to come up for air, you know things are serious.These are liquid mountains that must always be respected.
