Bonus Action ... the "MONSTER WAVE" ... courtesy of Mother Nature and your friends at Billabong.

Do you think it is easy to get the
images you see or for a Surfer to
get on top of these waves ? They
are 60 to 70 feet high. Powerful.
To capture these images, this
happening, you need a Chopper.
For the surfers to get up top, a
rider on a Waverunner jet ski
pulls them into position. Gnarly.
