Ive tried to do this with a smaller normal air-matress, but after you get down you loose the speed. What happened to this guy? I figure out the wave broke over him and washed him quite hard.. Hilarious.

I had to look at this again, its nice to see a guy revisting his child hood but still keeping things real by catching a barrel with a kids floatation device, its just purely sick. This picture wins the birthday cake i swear to god.

The Loch Ness monster gets barreled, but WTF is he doing in Bermuda with a sponger on his back? This photo is the Broke Back Mountain of mythological sea creatures. Where is the outrage?

For God's sake lean on that rail, man! Would love to see the sequence...

I love the smile on the blow up thingys face - so happy to be there. Life couldn't be any better!!!

It started out as a great joke. At the looks of his face, this would be the moment where he realises he's actually about get pounded.

hahahaha a smaller wave would also be hillarius but this guy really sets the bar with a killer wave!
thesummerisours Jun 3, 2009 Rating: 2
I agree, this needs to take off big time. Everyone, pop to your local store, and buy an inflatable animal and a sily hat, hire a mate with a camera, and lets have ourselves a summer competition...
KaisaChief16 Jul 11, 2009 Rating: 0
Bagsy the giant inflatable tortoise. It'll be ironic. Plus they might be quite stable. Also, I want to wear a top hat.
Cymro Jun 3, 2009 Rating: 0
That guy must have an over inflated ego.... YARRRRRRR. Seriously though, is this phot blown up? With that lip, the nessie ain't gonna be the only thing leaking. Gd effort
Mark from Durban Jun 3, 2009 Rating: 3
Thats what spongers do, go for the close out. Brass clangers to be out there doing that, repect!!!
stylin mike Jun 3, 2009 Rating: 7
Is that real? How in the hell does that even work?? Either this is a fake, or I owe that guy a beer.

lol I like how 'wildlife' is one of the tags! Sweet flick! Would love to see a video of this.

i keep looking at it and every time i do he's gonna get even more mashed by that lip. Seriously he cant have any speed! no speed, but big balls! I LOVE YOUR BALLS!

I think I have seen this in a mag, as newport wedge,california. Isn't a fullsuit a little warm for the bahamas?
reflexdoc Jun 4, 2009 Rating: 4
This is at The Wedge in Newport Beach. It has been on Rom Romanosky's website for years and is still there (check it out yourself). It is not in the tropics. The water at this spot gets very bright blue sometimes.
dirk714 Jun 3, 2009 Rating: 1
lol @ bahamas! Naw dude I think your mistaken. The water color at the wedge is rarely that blue. Although, I have seen people mess around like this at the wedge.

Only if you take the blow-up doll off the end of your pipe!
Spongerdudette Jun 2, 2009 Rating: 3
Stupid or just having fun??? The latter I think, but fair play to the guy for catching a wave however he can.
kernowbysvyken Jun 1, 2009 Rating: -3
We need a competition for weirdest surf craft and biggest wave photo. There's this one and the Bugga boys at Levy in a dinghy so far, just need a few of a deep pit at Teahupoo on a rubber ring and a poly board at Jaws. Might upset some psople on here where unless the pic is of a stand up who paddled into a 25ft wave, they call it gay
sealord Jun 1, 2009 Rating: 1
I hope Monster Surfing does not get competitive that mite spoil the FUN .
Mark from Durban Jun 4, 2009 Rating: 2
Sat and Sun at New Pier was awesome. Got hit by a 3 setter and had my fin sucked off my foot...yeah it was a first for me, but got totally nailed in my paddle out from North Pier, but got out. Where were you Shorey? Sat was clean and awesome with some real bombs!!
noordinaryboy Jun 3, 2009 Rating: 4
Surf was Steaming? Juicy? Grinding? Funny lots of the words can be related to the kitchen - why.....do you think it may have been that the first surfer was a woman and hence the reference to the kitchen?
soutie Jun 3, 2009 Rating: 2
i know shorey sponges in warm water (from the limerick), but to say the surf is cooking is surely an exageration.
noordinaryboy Jun 2, 2009 Rating: 2
sorry Shorey is out the office at the moment as the surf is cooking - anyway if it were him he would be busting some air with that thing upside down (while i sit behind this frigging desk wishing)

that poor..poor..inflateable!!.....its going to have to live the rest of its life with the memory of being molested by a sponger.....dont let the smile fool you....nessies just in her minds happy place.

James C Jun 1, 2009 Rating: 2
Thats just awesome mate, good on you! Ive found that its a real challenge not to pearl on those badboys, i can safely say that you can ride a dinosaur much better than i can haha! Can't wait to see the sudden influx of animal riding shots on MSW now lol (not that kind of riding to the jokers out there...!).
Credit Name: Jun 1, 2009 Rating: 0
sorry i just found out it looks flat till next year + !!! I have a sponge in my quiver !!!
kernowbysvyken Jun 1, 2009 Rating: 0
There was always going to be one wannabe stand up that abuses someone for not standing up, it wouldn't be MSW without it
Pastyboy84 Jun 1, 2009 Rating: -1
I've heard of strange things happening in the Bermuda Triangle but this takes some beating, as this dude must have.

ffff ucking epic - that is a committed drop! what a pasting you are about to recieve! dino-surfer, we salute you!!
el chris Jun 1, 2009 Rating: 4
This guy earns my utmost respect simply for putting up with the bitch it must have been to paddle out on that bad boy.
Dicer Jun 1, 2009 Rating: 6
