A wall of water

I just came across this impressive (but mislabelled) clip which reminded me rather of a film called "Riding giants" I saw with CJ a couple of years back.

I've probably mentioned that my dad got crush fractures of two lumbar vertebrae while surfing in Jamaica when we lived there during the seventies. He was working in the famously salubrious Jamaican prison service at the time, courtesy of the Overseas Development Administration. I remember (dimly) being in London shortly before going out, a trip we made because he had the job interview. We stayed with some friends of theirs that I've not met since. They're going to be in Edinburgh next week.

That is fab and totally terrifying. Riding giants is a great film. As is dog town and the Z-boys, though obviously this one doesn't quite have the wow factor of those massive waves.
