How heavy is a big wave? This is actually a damn good question. Why? Because most of us are aware of our physical limitations and interacting with big waves in any way other than behind the safety of our computer/phone screens would be insane. This mentality – although in no way, shape or form is it being less of a man – is the primary factor that contributes to our inability to truly understand the actual power of a wave this big. But that’s okay. Fortunately for us regular humans, the guys from Storm Surfers have provided us with a comprehensive explanation of how heavy a “heavy” wave actually is.
