    Teahupo'o is the craziest wave I have ever seen. Peahi may be bigger, but there's something about the end of the road that's off the sickter scale.

    that's about when you stall, hop on the ski and jet outta there. now that would be impressive. so are other people besides laird crazy enough to tow into teahupo'o now? doesn't seem like a promising trend. sick pic though as long as it didn't land on his head.

    Is this the surfing equivalent of "ghost-riding" a sled?

    Saw video of that on CNN today...insane! As if the damn wave wasn't crazy enough...sucking out at below sea level and throwing into that monster tube over 2 feet of water onto dry reef.

    If that wave didnt throw so much he be dead! Almost any other wave would have sent a 500lb missle to his head! SUPER lucky!

    yea, they were making fun of it, at least it was on the last page section, much like their sister magazine Powder. i think it's pretty impressive though, Chopes on a wakeboard?
