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. Just watched it -- awesome! Big, big waves. You have to wonder how it would look in IMAX. Thanks, Mel, for tipping me off. I don't watch a lot of TV and would have missed it without your post. -- Wes --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wes Boyd's Kayak Place http://www2.dmci.net/wesboyd/kayak.htm Kayaks for Big Guys (And Gals) | Trip Reports | Places To Go | Boats & Gear --------------------------------------------------------------------------- *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
