It’s just like… Dude, you get the best barrels ever, dude. It’s just like, you pull in and you just get spitted outem’. You just drop in,
smack the lip… Waapah! Just drop drown… Swoopah! And then after that you just drop in, ride the barrel and get pitted, so pitted.

If I wanted to read, I'd buy a book... This isn't Buzzfeed. This is BBC. Please hire a presenter. Maddy is awesome ;)

Good thing that wave height was given in proper units as well. 100 ft? No idea how much that is. But the système international de tailles des animaux.... who isn't familiar with that one!

As tall as 6 giraffes? Why do you need 6? They're all about the same height.
