Big Wave Surfing Todos Santos epic wipeouts January 2014 swell






Here is another one of my photos I shot in Mexico last week. These tubes looked very enticing but they were extremely dangerous! hahah  They would lure you in like a siren singing and there might be one or two good little tubes if you were lucky but it was risky because you never knew when that huge set out the back was going to come. Only the smaller waves (still about 10-12 feet) would break clean like this. Then, when you would least expect it, there would be dark shadow brewing out on the horizon. It looked like all the water in the ocean was sucking up as giant boulders became exposed. That's when you'd have to just paddle your butt off and hope you could get out far enough to make it under the monster waves racing toward you like a tsunami! If you did get caught inside when the big set finally did come then all you could do was 'breathe up' preparing yourself to hold your breath and hope that a jet ski could get to you before you were pushed into the rocks on the inside of the island.


Overall we had a great time and it was refreshing to finally get some solid surf! We were way past due! ^_^







Check out my recap video to get a much better feel for what it was like on our surf trip down to Mexico last weekend!
