Artist's Description
Surfer was towed into this wave at Teahupoo, Tahiti, on 8-17-2000. This wave is extraordinarily thick for its' height of over 30 feet. The surfer is 6'3" tall. Does this wave look 5 times overhead?

About John Kaelin

Hank's famous photo featured on Ken Bradshaw's web site was a smaller 65-footer Ken rode later the same day. Greg Noll's wave is mythical, with the scale based on Larry...
