If you had the chance to go for a100,000 USD wave, would you do it? (I guess they mean a 100 footer…)
PC: When I’m out Towsurfing I basically go for whatever size wave comes my way. The interesting thing about picking waves when they are that size is that you never know the size of the wave until after you are already into it. When you see the wave coming in the deeper water can tell that it is going to be big but it grows more in size as it hits the reef.
Tell us 3-4 things that were on your mind when preparing for the 70 footer…
PC: The forecast for January 10th (the day I rode the 70 footer) was for Jaws to be big. But the forecasters underestimated the intensity of the storm that created the waves. I went to Jaws that morning thinking that it was going to be a big day but not an epic day. I brought some new boards which I wanted to test out. I was mainly interested in seeing how the boards were working because the forecast was for the next swell to be bigger. I was pretty nervous when I arrived at Jaws because for the 1st hour of watching, I only saw two waves where the riders did not fall off. It was a pretty crazy day.
