    I love in Riding Giants when someone calls that wave "a hydrolic freak."

    I really can't even imagine the power of that thing. How you could survive if you got clipped by the lip is beyond me. I know Peahi and others can get a lot bigger, height-wise, but that lip is like 10 feet thick!!

    It makes me think of The Black Keys album Thickfreakness

    It is unfortunate that Malik is no longer with us. He was a great waterman.

    The waves are unreal. I can't imagine the rush you get from riding it. One day...

    I'm reasonably certain it's cho-poo.

    I believe that "poo" certainly fits in with that wave, given the skid marks it's likely to produce.

    Cho`-poo is what I hear 99.9% of the time.

    And Tee-ah`-poo for the other 0.01%.

    what about "Chopes"?
    At least 5% on that.
    If I had a nickel for every wave I caught, I would have a shit load of nickels.
