Watch what's been going down at the 2009 Quiksilver ISA World Junior Surfing Championships as the pros of tomorrow show you the next generation of ripping. Music by Dubluva.
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.
