Artist's Description
The surfer attempted paddling into this wave at Belharra, France. He suffered a horrendous wipeout on the drop. Going over a bump he bounced off his board and skidded on his back down the face, looking up as the crest threw over him. If he had made it to the bottom this could have been the biggest wave ever paddled into, well over 60 feet high in my analysis. Jamie Mitchell is 6' tall.

See him interviewed by Dave Kalama on YouTube.
