Alek Parker continues his hurricane chasing adventures. Hunting down Hurricane Alex, the first hurricane of the 2010 season. Good friend and East Coast legend, Cory Lopez, joins Parker in the great state of Texas.
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.
