If there is a next life I am going to be a surfer. I am scared of stuff like that in this life. Something to do with bad eyesight. Hence the interest in climbing I suppose. Cant see how far down it is. If you have not seen any videos of surfers at Nazare in Portugal. Check this out.

It scares me silly. Those waves are alive and coming to get you.

Bear in mind as well that when the surfers come off it is often onto pretty much bare reef as the waves sucks it dry.

 I've seen that one.☺  I dont watch horror films. Just stuff like this.I wonder if you can pay to be a passenger on a jet ski...nipping in and out of those monsters. I dont think I could do it.

The Wedge is a great wave.  youtube.com/watch?v=em9psPJuZkw&

It's massive and breaks straight onto the sand so you get messed up if you come off. Then get sucked straight back out for another ride.

The Wedge

Another great wave and video. Thanks. It almost looks like some of the surfers are hitting hard sand when they come off. Awesome stuff.

These are all such great vids. The skill level of the surfers in them must be massive. Comparable with the top climbers I suppose.
