I assure you, as fake as they may appear, the pictures i have posted are real. This is the deadliest reef break in the known world.

A break is a section where a waves breaks. depends on how the reef is set-up there can be many breaks at the same beach.

No way anyone would paddle into one of these monsters.

I see. Yeah I grew up in the country bro, I've seen 9-10 ft waves and that's about it. I love the beach, but I've never been too a real surfing area.

I'm the same way though, I take people from Atlanta back home with me and I'm like, how in the hell could you not know what corn is, or an irrigation system, or anything else really common to me.

Anyone else wanna see some insane waves from various parts of the world?

**colossus1** · 03-18-2005, 08:50 AM

**nsa** · 03-18-2005, 08:52 AM

Yes, these are real pics of a wave about a mile or so out from the France coastline at a place named Belharra Reef.

How do I do that sh!t? I don't

The waves i surf are generally 5-10 feet.

Im just posting various pics i have saved from mag's, ad's and scans. BTW, almost all waves over 30-40 feet in face height are towed into by jet-ski's and tow ropes, not paddled into. Jet-ski's are the only way to match the speed of waves this massive, this far out in the ocean.

**Slick Arrado** · 03-18-2005, 09:22 AM

That pic with the shark/helicopter is fake, but it's two real photos. Those wave photos are wicked!! :spudniklu

**Butch** · 03-18-2005, 09:40 AM

NSA, how do you know so much about waves living in NJ...not exactly the surfing capitol? (BTW, I am not flamining you...you are just very knowledgeable about waves).

Anyway, i cannot wait for the day when I can visit Tahiti and WATCH that sh*t from the shore....that water is so pure and blue...amazing. Nice post you all!

**nsa** · 03-18-2005, 10:01 AM

I surf, and i like to know alot about the things i do. Plus im fascinated by the freaky things in sports. BTW, New jersey isn't as bad as most people think in terms of waves. We get great waves during the winter, not comparable to hawaii or other parts of the world. But i've seen 15-20 waves in jersey(in the winter), only ridden up to about 12-14 feet myself.

**Butch** · 03-18-2005, 10:20 AM

Very nice! I too am fascinated with the waves and ocean. I live a stones throw away from the water (In so cali)...i think it is the best place to live...IMO.

12-14 is huge bro...nice work. Most of the time we get ankle slappers at my beach....not bad wavfes...very ridable...just not huge...just last week we had 8 footers which is pretty darn big for So Cal.

**nsa** · 03-18-2005, 10:29 AM

In jersey during the summer its usually either flat or 1-2 foot. It's very weak and fickle during the summer here.

And then it's too cold to surf in the winter i bet....if you surf in the winter in NJ I bet you have a kick ass wetsuit.

**Explosive215** · 03-18-2005, 11:24 AM

wow awesome pics guys. those waves are sweeet, id like to see more pics of waves like that from the top of the wave.

**nsa** · 03-18-2005, 11:25 AM

I used to surf during the winter before college. Best waves ever, coldest waves ever. I have a 5/4 full suit with boots, gloves and a hood. A very good wet suit, covering my entire body except for a small portion of my face. Unfortunately every time you duck dive a wave you flush a bunch of freezing water into your wet suit. So every time you have a giant wave coming at you, you don't want to duck dive as deep as you should and end up getting fugged up by the breaking wave and end up freezing your nuts off anyway.
