It was another incredible week of professional surfing at Lower Trestles. Congratulations to winner Miguel Pupo of Brazil for taking the 40 thousand dollars and a gold spike.
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.
