Description
The surfer was towed into this wave at Cortes Bank on 1-19-2001. This picture is a photo of my true-to-scale 30"x40" painting and reconstruction of one frame from the ending to the movie "Step Into Liquid" the wave-of-the-day. Because of the extremely low camera angle, this wave actually looks smaller than it was. Notice how deep he is positioned, just barely escaping the avalanche. This marks the historic opening of Cortes Bank to tow surfing. This wave was judged to be 66 feet high by the Billabong XXL, biggest wave surfed that year. The surfer, Mike Parsons, would 7 years later, ride an official 77-footer at Cortes Bank during the historic swell of 1-5-2008.
