http://www.TheSurfChannel.com How heavy is a big wave? An incredible amount of water threatens the life of a big wave surfer, with just the lip of some breaks weighing more than 300 small cars. Australian Storm Surfers Ross Clarke-Jones and Tom Carroll charge some of the heaviest waves on the planet. In this clip, they break down the mathematical details on how heavy big waves actually are when athletes take them on the head. "A lot of guys that surf big waves are a lot fitter than me, but they don't have that natural spirit to just go. It's just a charging mechanism or something," says big wave charger, Ross Clarke-Jones.

MANY SURFERS DO NOT WORK A REAL JOB OR HAVE A VERY SUCCESSFUL LIFE IN THE REAL WORLD. THEY MIGHT WORK A JOB AS A CABANA BOY AT A BEACH RESORT , OR A ROACH COACH ON THE BEACH THAT SERVES BURGERS AND FRIES, WORKING MAYBE 4 DAYS A WEEK, IF THAT, AND WORK ABOUT 5 HOURS A DAY, IF THAT. MANY OF THEM STILL LIVE AT HOME WITH THEIR MAMA IN THE BASEMENT OR LIVE WITH ABOUT 10 OTHER SURFERS, OR DEAD BEAT POETS AS I CALL THEM. IN A HOUSE THAT SHOULD HAVE NO MORE THAN 3 PPL.
THESE PPL ARE THE LAZIEST ON THE PLANET, AND I WOULD NOT GIVE 2 FUCKS FOR ONE IF A SHARK SWAM UP AND BIT THEM, I WILL STICK TO MY 9 IRON ON THE GOLF COURSE AND WONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY SHARKS.CAUSE I DONT GO IN THE WATER, THANK YOU VERY MUCH..........................................................................................................................

I mean the whole angle of the clip is the power of big waves in relation to surfers, not lighthouses.
You're talking about 30+ full sized african elephants lined up back to back, and the size would take up waaaaaay more than just that lip.
