After a big dump.of snow we thought we would turn on the way back machine to the peak of summer. We had South Cali surfer Christian Wach riding his home made Alaia board in one of our secret spots. These boards reach back to the roots of surfing and their designs have been refined and popularized by top shapers like Tom Wegener. The Donks http://www.hurricanesurf.com/surfdonkey/
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.
