What's the biggest wave ever surfed? Imagine a 10-story-high wall of water with a foamy-white peak smashing into the shore. Thats the mental image we all have when we think of tsunamis, but is it accurate? And if it is, why dont daredevil surfers ride them? Thats a huge wave begging to be caught! Fear of heights? Top speeds? Because they choose life? But theyre supposed to be daredevils!
Seriously, where would anyone get the idea to surf a tsunami? Movies! All those disaster flicks depicting tsunamis as monstrous waves. Realistically, the difference between tsunamis and surfing waves is as ridiculously huge as that movie wave about to take out that skyscraper. You CAN surf on a massive wave. As long as its the right kind. And that surfable kind can even be bigger than tsunamis! So, what is the difference between this right kind of wave and tsunamis? Date: 2022-04-19
