Will anyone be able to slow Joel Parkinson this year? Can Kelly continue his Lowers dominance? Will Mick get his groove back? And will the young freaks do some damage? Here's what to look for.
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.
