    Laird is the man! These guys are nuts. I like a big wave but not one that will kill me if I slip. Maybe because I slip often!

    Your too modest, we certainly were surfing some big waves in Cr and you did not slip but a few times....Eduardo

    How many of these guys qualify for Darwin Awards? LOL! That's insane!

    Re: Riding Giants

    One of my favorite movies. Apart from the truly stunning footage, there are some fascinating personal stories.

    Greg Noll's story of his first truly big wave is one of those "if I don't do this I'm never going to forgive myself" moments.

    But Jeff Clark stands out for me. Paddling out alone for years at the treacherous Mavericks near Half Moon Bay is the mark of deep-rooted self-confience. No Darwin awards there.
