We spent some time with Parker Coffin right before the 2011 NSSA Nationals in Huntington Beach. Check out what he had to say and be sure to tune into NSSALive.com to catch the live webcast on July 2nd and 3rd brought to you by Nike 6.0 and Surfing Mag
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.
