The Blowfish Surf Series wrapped up its final event last weekend at Blacks Beach in San Diego. Now Blacks is a interesting place, from weird nude beach lurkers, to hang gliders, to territorial lifeguards, and perfect 4-6 foot surf, you never know what your going to run into down there. Trust me at the Blowfish we ran into every single one of them which made for an eventful day. Music by Lagwagon.
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.
