UST stop number 5 was held in Vilano Beach, FL. There were some pretty awesome waves and the contest was heating up as the UST gets deeper into the season. Visit Unitedskimtour.org for high quality videos and more information.
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.
