The last stop of the Pufferfish Surf Series went off in near perfect conditions at Ho'okipa Beach Park on Maui. Competitors from all around the state of Hawaii showed up to Maui with much anticipation for a last chance to qualify for the prestigious Crustaceous World Championships. Music by Good Riddance.
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.
