Paraphrased from the review in the WSJ: An interesting Nature episode will be aired on PBS from 8-9 pm EST on Sunday, Jan 13. "Condition Black". In January of 1998, the largest waves ever recorded hit land on the North Shore of Oahu, HI. The beaches were evacuated as whitecaps of up to 40 feet came crashing in. But a group of fearless(?) surfers managed to get past the dangerous breakwater out to open ocean on jet skis, then surf the tremendous waves. They were riding waves the size of 10 story buildings. It is astonishing to watch.
