Chris Mauro and Ian Cairns run down Kelly Slater's Hurley Pro win at Trestles 20 years after his debut as a pro, and take a closer look at the world title race as the tour heads to Europe for the Quiksilver and Rip Curl Pros.
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.
