From: ASP World Tour
Mick Fanning strikes again in France, winning his second ASP tour event in as many weeks. Mick's collected nearly $150,000 over the past 8 days and finds himself squarely in the hunt for a world title as he's just 148 points behind Joel Parkinson 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.
