GMAC- Billabong XXL's

So it's T minus 12 days until I get to go to the Billabong XXL awards. After feeling like I was going to spontaneously combust with sheer horror while staring a measly 13ft wave in the face last winter in Kauai, I seriously can bow down in amazement to the kahones that all of the peeps in this competition, or let alone anyone who rides a wave bigger that 15ft. I am biased to be even more amazed at the people who just paddle into these Tsunami-esque swells.

Here's Garrett McNamara's Sasquatch tube ride that paved the way for an entry this year.

Um. Yeah, serious Kahones.




Yeah, he has an awesome job. Check out more of Tim McKennas photos here
