Anyone looking for the ultimate book on big waves, look no further. The combination of breathtaking photography, beautifully reproduced, and thorough reporting on the history of big waves can't be beat. The photo of Flea on the cover has got to be the scariest surf photo ever.

good, sometimes wordy, organization is only fair

Similar content to a lot of surf books but a nice recounting of the development of big wave surfing.

Pictures and history is rad.

Like many books - it was a 7 out of 10, not 8. But no 3.5 choice, so I give the benefit as it is cool...
