I remember reading about a guy surfing off New Jersey in an old  
school WW boat. He paddled out past the breakers to rest. He drifted  
out quite far when he saw an enormous wave building. He estimated it  
at about 25 feet. It broke on top of him, worked him bad and folded  
his boat down on his legs. He made it to shore and had bruised thighs  
for a long while. Explain that one to your wife.  But I was just  
kayaking dear!
