Not the tallest - but the heaviest wave ever attempted. _______ Kerby Brown tackles monster wave WEST Australian surfer Kerby Brown has ridden one of the biggest waves in Australia this year - and paddled away with torn shoulder muscles from the dumping. Brown's ride on a monster wave at a secret location off the WA coast is the latest entry in the Oakley Surfing Life Big Wave Awards. WA’s has a knack for hunting out and riding some of the biggest, heaviest and scariest waves in our country’s south-west corner. “That’s really the only wave I’ve seen do that there, they’re usually pretty perfect but that one tripled up, it just went kind of inside out….he did so well to manage to get where he was.” Kerby agreed on the unusual nature of this extraordinary wave. “Usually the wave never steps out or goes evil like that one, but it just went dry…it was the hardest wave I’ve ever had to surf.” If the ride itself wasn’t hard enough, the beating that followed ensured Kerby knew he had pulled into something big, and feared he would drown. “I was lucky to get to where I got, I went straight over in the lip and did about 10 backflips and then pulled a muscle in my shoulder.

Dude has got cojones of steel. Like one poster said above, that would make one heck of a desktop background. If they could, it would make one heck of a poster itself.
Mine swole up. That's the most awesomestest thing I've seen since I watched a monkey howler monkey try to **** a golf cart.
That is insane... just looking at that picture and you knew it couldn't end well. That wave is a beast.
The location off this wave is a few hours south of where I live. It is apparently a hot spot for great white sharks though, one of the bra boys was riding a wave similar and cut himself open on the reef. Kept on surfing it with sharks swarming and blood coming out of his arm. Insane these blokes are
