Apparently some years(2005?) ago an asteroid passed earth. If it would have hit water, according to their calculations, waves with a height of 21000 meters would have been formed. Surf that!

Who would have guessed that a 44 year old guy from Pittsfield, Massachusetts (of all places) would be the one to do something crazy like this. It would not be possible without a jetski to tow him into position. Fantastic ride!
