Riding The Big One

I'm pretty sure this is Laird Hamilton, noted as the greatest big wave rider of all time. It's a real short video, some say it's not the same as surfing, always a negative Nelly in every bunch, you see if they weren't towed out past the wave break they would most likely never make it alive just to get up on the board. I looked a quite a few UTube's of big wave riders, all doing great and amazing work. I could never tell someone that stood up on a surf board with two balls straddling a stick to take this monster on anything else but a REAL big wave rider. The first couple seconds are deceiving, then when he cuts loose from the jet ski that carried him out far enough to ride that beast you can slowly see the magnitude of this wave, 100 foot at least I bet, warning if you get sea sick, this video alone might make you hurl LoL Just Kidding..... Big'un though, a must see, people are just nuts~!!! Click on the link below, no joke........
