Noah surfing during the 2010 Triple Crown season. Taking advantage of small days at Back door and the rest of the North Shore. While most pros were sad about the small waves he was psyched.
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.
