Yep...very real. I wonder what the little surfer dude in the distance is thinking....?

(Probably something along the lines of “Ooooh s***...this is gonna hurt!”)

It is not as big as you think. Trick photography angle to make it look big. Maybe 5 or 6 foot wave.

Here is BIG waves.

Yeah, there’s no way . . . unless the depth of the water at that beach goes from 40-50’ to 10’ in a blink.

Look at the curvature of that shore. He’s going to be in the Maytag for awhile.

Yes, you’d pay a bundle to be exfoliated like that at a spa.

Not unusual for the North Shore. We lived just up the road. There are days when they don’t allow people even on the beach in some places because of the way these waves hit the shoreline.
