Big wave surfing, as shown on TV, in magazines or online is a breathtaking, mesmerizing sport: showing incredible footage of tiny stick figures on monster waves. However, the group of people surfing those waves is small.
For many big wave surfers, it is not about who rides the biggest waves on the planet or wins which award this year. It’s a personal desire to go bigger, to find your own limits, balance the odds, and pick off a few if you can: no pictures, no logos, just plain, pure, personal satisfaction.
Waves come in all sizes, and all can be deadly. Although we look for inspiration by watching the world’s best battle it out in the most extreme conditions, we share this information for anyone who wants to safely push their own limits, whatever those limits are or wherever they are paddling out to test them.
