California's Dane Reynolds has unleashed his massive aerial attack on the Huntington Beach lineup this week in hopes of capturing the $100,000 first place prize at this year's US Open of Surfing.
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.
