Professional surfers face up to one of the world's most menacing waves in Sydney, Australia
Surfers braved "the most dangerous wave in the world" as they took part on Red Bull's Cape Fear competition on Sunday.
Sydney, Australia's Botany Bay played host to the inaugural event, which saw 16 elite surfers go head-to-head riding giant waves.

Which one is that, the wave of disasters following bathhouse barry?
Idiot news title and article. Search Laird Hamilton and Tahiti if you want to see dangerous.
Sort of like saying the most dangerous car race is one heading straight at a brick wall.
Duh....
Agree! lol
Just saw a video this weekend, believe it was Laird, shooting the pier at surf rider beach, Malibu.
Absolutely tubular, man! Tasty, gnarly waves, hard landing.
And did you see the great whites taking numbers? Whoahhhh
Teahupoo is far more dangerous.

I deer hunted every year as a boy on Botany Bay plantation in Louisiana....Tensas parish
2000 acres Mississippi river bottom land....only us
I would think that Shipsterns would be the most dangerous wave in Australia.
The Beach Boys sang about it in 1963.
You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar
Ventura County line
Santa Cruz and Trestle
Australia's Narrabeen
All over Manhattan
And down Doheny Way
From Surfin' USA. The Narrabeen is Bottany Bay.
Actually, that was Chekov that uttered that line to himself and Captain Terrell.
Oh, I know. But I love the Kirk Pic!
