 | | A detailed and richly illustrated history of big-wave surfing is told in the even-number chapters, while a spectacular and deadly five-day swell from late 1994 is recalled in the odd-numbered chapters. |
| | Big-wave surfing meanwhile advanced way ahead of where I'd left off in late 1999, particularly with the latest tow-in developments; the revised edition of Maverick's has a lot to do with the fact that local surfers in 2003 were riding waves at least 15 feet bigger than they had been in 1999. |
| | Tsunami waves travel in sets, like regular ocean waves, and as the second enormous swell lifted up, Holaua allegedly ripped a plank from the side of his house, positioned himself beneath the curl, shot down the face, and rode to shore. |
