Surfing massive waves
After the recent tsunami tragedy, there’s actually groups of surfers that are looking to surf a tsunami. Reading on this, I came across this big-wave surfing video. I can’t believe the swell of this wave and how huge it gets. Starting out, it looks almost flat. My heart was pounding just watching it grow - I thought it might be a camera trick. I think this is probably Laird Hamilton doing the surfing - he’s a big wave tow-in hero.

Yeah these guys are definitely pros, I would be willing to bet each of them could hold their breath for over 5 minutes…and swim faster than just about anyone!
