Unbelievable tow surfing


The Tahiti contest was on hold for a few days, waiting for the swell to arrive. The world was watching, and when it came, these were the guys and girls that took it on. Too big for paddling, they gave it a go on a tow rope. Nothing like this has ever been done since Laird tried a few years ago, and that mutant wave gave us all nightmares of what would have happened if he didn't make it. Well now we know that you can make it through the wipeout, damaged, but alive - the bar has just been raised a whole lot higher.
