I guess a 91-foot wave would make diving out of the question

Now this is a big wave!

It's good to know that most of the waves in this set are only 50-foot waves.

So, I guess it would be easy to make the decision not to dive that day.

I think I'll pass the diving, but I'll bet Laird Hamilton ant the other Big wave surfers out there are drooling trying to figure how to catch that wave.

I read an article last year about a study. http://boatdesign.net/forums/archive/index.php/t-4365
They thought rouge waves of 100 feet were very rare. Then they did a study utilizing satalites for a few weeks off Africa if I remember correctly. Bottom line, in the 3 weeks or so of the study they plotted several 100+ foot waves and determined they were "rather a common occurance".

A freak wave hit one of our reseach vessels while several people were working on the back deck. It was a bad scene...bruises and broken bones. At least it wasn't 100+ feet!

Laird, Dave Kalama and others are tow-in surfing 60+ foot waves at Jaws off Peahi(Maui). Insane....

Christian- Although it would be a rough entry, I'd be stupid enough to try it. Of course I wouldn't take my video camera!

Do you know if the Cortes Banks they show at the end(of the trailer) is the same one we used to go for bugs off SoCal?

Yes, but remember it's all computer graphics.

No-one gets bruises in cyberspace..
