That video is of Cortes Bank - a shallow spot in the ocean about 100 miles west of San Diego. The guy surfing is probably Mike Parsons, but I can't really tell in the video. Mike Parsons, Brad Gerlach, Ken Collins, and Peter Mel were the first guys to surf Cortes Bank a few years ago, and there's a video out there with this footage (and more) of the trip. I don't remember what the title of the video is, but you could probably find it at a surf shop.

Anyway, here are photos of cortes bank
And a bio on Peter Mel who organized the trip to cortes bank. (The bio was written in 2000, before the trip. I can't find a newer one)

Hate to be the guy, but you are incorrect, that is not cortez bank.


Here is a video of a %100 real and heavier wave.

If it's not Cortes bank, where is it? Peahi? The fact that Laird hamilton surfed teahupoo is fairly irrelevant, even if it's impressive.

The video is not real..... How else can i say that?

The original parts of that video are of jaws.

I posted that video of laird because it is impressive for people who dont surf/look at surf sites/etc. I also posted that video because its real, unlike the video posted.

There is alot of misinformation in this thread and you shouldnt confuse people. I still cant believe:
#1 you thought that was cortez, the water color is off, the conditions are off, and did you really think baggies are worn at cortez?
#2 you thought that was filmed from a boat (even though its not real, the real parts were filmed from a helicopter).

How can you say that's not real? What proof do you have of this? I've seen pics of big wave surfers and it looks 100% real to me. Oh, and I surf BTW.

Different places for different seasons.
