Laurie Towner - Mesmerizing...

Laurie Towner's no small fry being well over 6ft tall...

Now,,, with fresh eyes, take a closer look at this recent Teahupo'o monster he slayed..

1. Depth, size of foam ball & poised to pounce...
2. Breadth, throwing out further than its high...!
3. Height, lip has got to be as think as he his tall.
4. Total Length, from foam ball to lip over vertical is ridiculous
5. Volume, water is one thing but look at the capacity of this cavern..
6. Suck, water sucking off the reef maybe up to 6ft below sea level
7. Shape, perfect almond throwing out further than it is high
8. Positioning, where the laid back, lay back hand deployed, almost pushing off...
9. Line, he's almost neutral, almost toe side and heading out toward the lip...
10. Foreground, how much water is in this next section of lip about to throw...

Round figures,,, but there's at least 20ft behind him, 20ft  in front him, 20ft down the line that beyond vertical & its inside height is about 10ft high..

That's Length 40ft by Width 20ft by Height 10ft..! I'm no mathematician, but that's like 8,000 feet cubed..! And this was one of the smaller ones of the day...

Now replay your favourite biggest barrel and do the math...

Mesmerizing..!
