“Amazing footage of Volvo Ocean Race competitor Team Telefónica being slammed by two monster waves as they blast through the Southern Ocean in over 40 knots of wind…”
 

The beginning of 2012 turned out to be a surfer’s paradise along the Southern Califronia coast. Surf was up at Newport Beach and other coastal areas with breakers at the well-known Wedge rising 20 feet (6 meters).

Actor Gerard Butler was hospitalized as he struggled to conquer the waves at Mavericks, the infamous Northern California surf spot south of San Fransisco, while shooting Of Men and Mavericks. He is not a professional surfer, and since the movie is about the best world’s surfers he surely shouldn’t have acted his way into big wave surfing. Take a look at the photographs that show how big Mavericks can really get.

How is it to get creamed by that huge wave? Photographer Clark Little can answer this question as he is the real master of wave photography.

Here are guys gliding on some very big waves. What a view!

But what can make surfing even better is the girls surfing on waves! 100% sexy ;)
