Surfing in the secluded, isolated and pristine bay of Mimiwhangata, NZ is the perfect stomping ground for upcoming groms Elliot Paerata-Reid, and Paul & Joe Moretti. Warm waters, golden sand and uncrowded waves (the only crowds here have four legs) make surfing in the far North a uniquely New Zealand experience. seventhwave.co.nz
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.
