The pros on the ASP's World Championship Tour are in awe. Why, you ask, do some of the world's best pro surfers find their jaws dropping? Simple. The future of surfing is looking more and more insane. Just ask any of the pros who were on hand to witness the sport's progression amongst the youngsters at Oakley Pro Junior in Bali this past month.
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.
