Nick Rozsa's Homegrown Episode 4

By: Janos Palko

Here is chapter four in filmer Chris Papaleo's Homegrown series featuring Oxnard surfer Nick Rozsa.

In case you haven't been following along, Rozsa spent his youth as an aspiring pro surfer. And somewhere along the way he got lost in the shuffle. Still in his prime, but with no sponsors, expenses piling up, and a child on the way, Nick began working construction to pay the bills. And for a while, his surfing took a back seat.

Fast forward to today, three months since part 1 of his Homegrown series was released. Nick has been re-signed by his former sponsor Reef and is now well on his way to supporting his family by surfing.

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

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.
