Dont know who here surfs, but going up against "moving mountains" as they call em, is got to be one of the most craziest, extreme sports out there...

I used to surf 2-3 times a week for about 6 years. The biggest I ever surfed were several legitimate double overhead days at Ocean Beach, which is small compared to what you see in that video. Even so, paddling into 10-12ft waves will definitely test your manhood. Everything is gravy if you make it, but if you don't you'll be getting a serious whooping by mother nature.

Ive hit ocean beach too by sloat and damn that current is strong...but in hawaii, its amazing and an oh shit moment when you see a decent swell in the distance, then as it gets closer, it sucks all the water to calf high and now your standing on reef, ass out, with a now 10 foot wave comin at you.
