Just plain dumb.

:laugh1: I've never surfed in my life but I'd try that wave blindfolded before you'd get me to try to free climb.SaltwaterServr;4236538 said:Two words. Rhymes with "duck fat".

A powerful 6-7 foot wave can snap your neck like a twig...let alone a mountain like that.Rynie;4236121 said:I didn't realize surfers get that messed up when they fall.
Thanks.SaltwaterServr;4236957 said:They're measured from the deepest part of the trough to the highest point on the crest. I paused it at 19 seconds and measured it on my screen at the far left part of the viewing pane. I got a height of 9.5 centimeters on my screen.
At that same point the surfer appears to be standing straight up on the board. He measures 7 millimeters on my screen. Figure him to be 6' for sake of comparison. 95/7=13.57 x 6 feet = 81 feet.
About as accurate as a shotgun at 100 meters, so take it for what it's worth. Then again we can't see the bottom of the trough.
