Watch Riding Giants if you want to know what this is all about.
Before I saw that I never realized that people surfed offshore.

Just a FYI, the live stream only works with Windows Media Player on a PC. It doesn't work on a mac at all.

Here's what it looks like on my PC, there are actually some huge waves and huge wipeouts going on right now:

Also, check out Step Into Liquid.
The film profiles the Mavericks Crew -- Peter "Condor" Mel, Ken "Skindog" Collins, Darrel "Flea" Viristko, and Shawn "Barney" Collins.

I just got back from working the contest today.
It was just about perfect.
Consistent 28 - 32 foot faces with the occasional 35, glassy waves swept by offshore winds, 68 degrees, sunny.
I was up on the air base, right by the judges stand, and the thing that got to me was just the consistency of today.
Wave after wave, with a BIG 20 - 22 second period.
And the sound ... every so often a big one would detonate, and BOOM, you could hear from a mile away (literally).
Just great.

In Australia, we've always used the back of the wave (for some peculiar reason).
