If this year's Billabong XXL Awards are any indication, waves aren't the only things getting bigger. The known big-wave universe is growing as well. In addition to familiar big waves such as Maverick's and Todos Santos, XXL finalists have come in from spots that weren't even known about a decade ago, like Ghost Tree in Monterey, Shipstern's bluff in Tasmania or Playa Gris in Spain.

Oct 19, 2008 - its not cheating. its just an alternative to catching 3x bigger waves. They also have the paddle big wave nominees on the website i think.
ahog911 Says:
Oct 21, 2008 - they have to tow them because the waves are moving too fast the catch them by just paddling. so its not cheating. its just how its done.

thatfamousguy Says:
Oct 23, 2008 - ok, everyone is entitled to theyre own opinion, and whatever floats your boat i guess. but i have seen many lineups ruined by towins where it is possible to paddle. for example, teahupoo, outside shark island, cape solander, depot bomby. however tow in is still impressive.

Nov 3, 2008 - A few years ago, two parents went out for dinner. A few hours later, the babysitter was calling to ask if she could cover up the clown statue in the kids' room, the father said,"Take the kids and get out of the house. We'll call the police, we don't have a clown statue." The "clown statue" is really a killer that escaped from jail. If you don't post this letter on to 10 videos tonight, the clown will be in your bed at 3:00 am with a chainsaw in his hand

Nov 19, 2008 - This is Caca! According to Billabong´s video Odyssey. Tahiti has the biggest waves, check out the intro on the video and you´ll see a wave twice the size of these!

Nov 19, 2008 - a couple went out to dinner. later that night the babysitter called and asked if she could put a sheet over the clown statue in the kids bedroom. the father said "get the kids out of the house and Ill call the police. we dont own a clown statue." it turned out that the clown was a murderer escaped from jail. if you don't repost this message on 10 videos the clown will be in your bedroom tonight at 3am with a chainsaw I know this is spam but still i hate clowns so not taking any chances

Nov 19, 2008 - thats a nice "sportin wave" not to be feared but enjoyed! but those other big wave vids......bone chilling!
viccosurfer Says:
Nov 20, 2008 - tahiti has the heaviest not necesarily the biggest. yer i see what you mean tahiti looks so much bigger because all the video footage is about 20 meters away from the action whereas here the guys are on skis prepared to go wide for the massive wide sets
viccosurfer Says:
Nov 23, 2008 - how sad ghost trees may never be on a big wave award again :( in case those people who dont know whats going on. Their banning jetskis in the ghost trees area. Nobodies ever going to paddle into 60 ft ghost trees
