Same here, dude. That wave has got to be at least 8 to 9 stories tall!

Could you imagine the pure thrill from that towering over you. I can't. But if you could, it would be pretty amazing.

Awesome dudes. I was almost killed by a rogue wave in Portugal one holiday. It was the most surreal experience and I do get flashbacks of lying at the bottom watching the waves roll over.

You're weren't rolling out naked, were ya? I think my life would have passed before my eyes and it would have been years of slacking!
