Howie is experienced at taking on the huge waves at Wedding Cake Island when the southerly roars in...that wave looked 3 times larger in real life!

    I recall many times in the 60s n 70s of watching in awe and from a distant clifftop, this majestic break fire up during a big southerly and waiting for someone to take it on. Respect for the few locals that ventured the paddle. You're very right, looks can be very deceptive especially at distance.
