Face it, you really read this blog because of the surf videos

Faithful readers of my blog will recall the extraordinary footage I posted of Mike Parsons surfing a huge wave.  

Last week was legendary in this regard at the famous Mavericks, with some of the biggest surf ever seen.  Sadly, two fisherman and a surfer died that day in the water.

You can see footage of surfers braving some of the scariest and nastiest surf I’ve seen here (via Jeff Nolan).
