I think it will be …
I think it will be hard to find a rideable wave bigger than what is being ridden at the moment. Pete Cabrinha’s 70 ft. left at Jaws a couple of years ago was the biggest, and actually seems bigger than Parsons’ wave here, so we haven’t really moved up immensely since then. Once it gets bigger than that size the conditions need to be so perfect that the probability of a wave being rideable is small. Who knows though?!
