Have you ever seen any of the specials on discovery or anything about the killer waves??
Some reaching 200+ feet.

A small section in the Pacific, about 60+ miles west of Catalina, is the new big wave spot. It was discovered by fisherman and deemed a myth by Californians; 2 years ago, surfers verified the spot and used it for the annual big wave contest. I believe it pulls in about 60 foot waves.
200 feet would be too large for a tow-in ride as the jet skis would not give the surfer enough energy to get on a lip and survive.
You have to be towed in to any big wave. I have been out on 15+ days (paddling of course), there is absolutely nothing worse than going down into that dark abyss. Anyone thinking 50 foot waves is a good surfing day has little idea the sheer power the ocean has to offer
