We're headed to the Billabong Pro in Rio shoswing what is like competing in South America and also who won the qualifying rounds making it to the main event scheduled to start any day now.
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.
