Giant wave (Mike Parsons at Jaws Beach / Hawaii)

July 27th, 2011 25 comments

Mike Parsons (born March 3, 1965) is a surfer sponsored by the Billabong company who famously successfully surfed a 66-foot (22 meters) wave at Cortez Bank, CA in 2001, for which he was awarded $66,000, the highest prize ever awarded in the history of professional surfing. This money was awarded by the Billabong XXL competition which has run since 2001 paying tribute to the biggest waves ridden each year. This feat at Cortez Bank was popularised by the film Billabong Odyssey. Parsons is famous for a video clip of him riding a wave about 65 tall at Jaws, shot from a helicopter, that many believed was the biggest wave ever surfed. Parsons recently broke his record on January 5, 2008, at Cortez Bank, when he was photographed surfing a wave that the Billabong XXL judged to be 70+ feet, which should put him in the Guinness Book of World Records, officially, for biggest wave ever surfed. Unofficially the biggest wave ever surfed remains Ken Bradshaw’s wave at Log Cabins, Oahu on January 28, 1998, at over 80 feet.

(These are the minutes each band starts in the vid)(just click the blue time and you’ll jump right to it and it’ll start loading from there=])
Breathe Carolina – starts at 0:10
A Skylit Drive – 1:00. Jag sings right at the barrier at 3:22
Youmeatsix (great quality pics and video) – around 4:10
Chiodos – 6:50
Valencia – 8:35

Chiodos was the best set. ASD was good, only because they didnt play any songs from Adelphia, and only played songs from Wires(at least i dont remember any adelphia songs…) Anyways, Jag sucks.

(For most of these videos I just stuck my camera in the air, pressed record, and hoped I wasnt shooting the sky or something lol. I think they turned out decent though_)
