Bali Surf Gear hooded rashguards

SURFING WITH A HAT SUCKS! But so does getting out of the water because you're sunburned... and skin cancer REALLY sucks. This hoodie is the ultimate solution. Pull it on while you're paddling out or waiting for a set. Then when you're ready to catch a wave, simply flip it back, and the hoodie lays on your back like it's not even there. Big wave tested at ULUWATU, G-LAND, PIPELINE and beyond, our hoodie is guaranteed not to parachute on wipeouts and duckdives, thanks to our Patent Pending waterflo system. "Made In The USA" using the highest quality manufacturing and materials featuring a special high UV white Lycra which won't turn translucent when wet, this hooded rashguard is still way CHEAPER than the cost of a typical RASHIE PLUS A SURF HAT. A Bali Surf Gear hoodie will effectively cut the cost of your surf trips in half on a per-wave basis, by doubling your water time and your wave count. You'll be amazed what a relief it is to be able to duck into the shade in between waves while surfing in the tropics. Your body will thank you, like stepping into the shadow of a palm tree on the beach. GET BARRELED, NOT TOASTED! http://www.balisurfgear.com/

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

A return to old-school measuring techniques is in order

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.
