To the Ends of the Earth - Season 6 Episode 2 Ride the Wild Surf
Well beyond the realm of the surfer dudes of Newquay - or even California - is an elite group whose life mission is to ride the biggest wave imaginable. Off the coast of Hawaii, it's so big that surfers have to be towed by a jet-ski to get on it, as paddling would kill you. Nicknamed Jaws, it doesn't look much on its own, but a sense of perspective dawns when one of the adrenaline junkies pits himself against it. It can go up to 80 feet (the average wave is 10) and a wrong move can be lethal. One of the group tries it for the first time, and he's lucky to get away with shredded knee ligaments.
