This place is crazy when it's breaking. The waves there get bigger than Cortes Bank and Jaws from what I understand.

Cortes Bank is scary because it is in the middle of the ocean.  I can watch video of surfers at Jaws all day long.

Really what choice does he have, ride it or drown. I think I choose riding it.

I was in one hell of a great shape when I surfed so I wouldn't argue it.

i surfed for a couple of years in high school. was never very good but always enjoyed being out in the water. it was tough just riding a six foot wave. can't imagine the courage needed to ride anything over twenty feet. heck, i wouldn't even want to be the guy on jet ski.
