Here some clips of the boys ripping at the 2010 Lowers Pro, which some called the most progressive surfing contest ever. Look out for Josh Kerr's insane shuvit at the end.
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.
