Absolute nutter! Huge amount of respect for people that can go out and over come the fear of riding those things, lord knows I can't!

One MAJOR anomaly is the fact that in the story they say the Sun was setting.

If its in WA,the sun would be in the West and the wave would be backlit .

It has some low light reflection on the face.

I would also say that it is Shipsterns.

The ledge gives it away also.

How can it be back lit when there is no back? & over cast??

Might be the same place as 60 minutes didnt their story on, that was Ross Clark-Jones and co, from the various interviews, it sounds about the same distance off-shore. This one was on tv about a week ago, the dude was being interviewed and talking about it being entered in the big wave, big balls, I aint got no fear at all comp. The dude wasnt even wearing a PFD/impact vest!
