Encountered Dave Langer of big wave riding fame today. He has been in Puerto for 3 months riding giants, but since there is no real swell right now he offered to tow us into some shore break for fun...
It was awesome.
I have never been beat so severely by a wave. The addition of about 100 HP to this wave is not really necessary...but occasionally massive excess is the only answer. A la bullfights on acid..which I would tell you about if I had experienced it.
The speed of the ski allows you to actually get onto the waves a little early which is nice since they jack up to vertical in about 1/2 second, but it also puts you into some truly strange places...places you could never get to under paddle power.... like 30 ft deep in a closeout barrel. Sorry no footage... I was too busy getting my ass kicked.
