Kauai's Bruce Irons shows his swagger in this Highlight clip for Round 48 at the 2007 US Open of Surfing at Huntington Beach, CA.
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.
