The surf cranked during the Drug Aware Pro at the Margaret River in Western Australia, where 33 of the top 44 surfers showed up to compete in the WQS Prime event presented by Rusty.
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.
