i couldn't agree more... those waves look mammoth!
it's kind of tough to tell which one is the biggest... all of them are jaw-droppers. |

i dont know anything about surfing but all those guys are friggin sick! i wish i had the balls to do that.
if i had to pick one of those, i'd pick the 2nd one |

| yeah, I think Grant's (2nd one) is the probably the biggest, although not by that much. |

That really takes a lot of balls.
I almost drowned last year due to swimming like an idiot at the end of the day after surfing whole day with storm waves.... |

I know in many cases, the winners do split their prize money with their tow partners.
and yeah, it pretty much all started with Laird. The guy is insane. |
