Big seas

I've organised many windsurfing competitions at Brandon Bay in Ireland, the highest windspeed I ever had was 62 knots, these guys surpassed that by a long way.

He swims for his life.

See this video for incredible wave riding, but also the most heartstopping wipeout at 2.00, then watch the surfer pop out of the top of the wave and try to head for the horizon.

That is really quick thinking!
