This is one of my favorites yet. Keiki beach break so big it's dwarfing everyone on the beach. I’d say 20 foot faces. Some Hawaiians would probably say ten though. Photo: Doug Falter
People love staring at waves, because waves are beautiful. When was the last time you saw someone staring at a soccer field when there was no one running around kicking a ball? Big waves have that terrifying beauty, while small waves are just pretty and serene. Put someone on a surfboard on top of those waves, and you have a recipe for splendor. Or in this case, a recipe for 82 of them.
