Sunny Garcia and Josh Grant Win the 2010 Toyota Surfercross Title

By: Nate Hoppes

Ever wonder what happens when a pro surfer jumps on a dirtbike and takes to the track alongside the top racers in motocross? Or when motocross guys attempt to surf alongside pro surfers including a former world champ. If you guessed complete chaos, you would be correct.

The 12 Annual Toyota Surfercross, wrapped up after 2 days of action in the desert and the beach. After the dust settled pro surfer Sunny Garcia and motocross racer Josh Grant won the overall pro division.

They were the models of consistency, not winning the individual competitions but placing high enough in the motocross and surf days to take home the overall title. They finished 3rd at Starwest Motocross Park, as well as a 4th place finish at San Onofre State Beach.

Overall, there were some unexpected impressive performances put on by some of the pros in the sports there not normally accustomed to doing. Big wave charger Ian Walsh showed of some moto skills on day one while Metal Mulisha FMX star Ronnie Faisst looked comfortable on his longboard.

"Record" for Largest Wave Ever Ridden Trivializes Big-Wave Surfing

A return to old-school measuring techniques is in order

Consider two representations of two very big waves, below. The first is a photograph of Mike Parsons at Cortes Bank. The second is a video of Garrett McNamara near Nazare, Portugal. Now take out some measuring tape and make the distance of one foot between your hands. That's the amount, according to the Billabong XXL committee, that McNamara's wave is bigger than Parsons's wave.
