Check out Volcom pro surfers Chas Chidester, Raymond Richele and Gavin Beschen during their heats at the Monster Energy Pro at Pipeline this February. The surf was big and at times out of control, but the boys all held their own. Music by: ASG.
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.
