Thought some would enjoy the power of Mother Nature. This was one of the waves that hit PV dos anos ago. Boogie board material!

Now that's some nasty shorebreak! The beach must drop off to very deep water for waves that size to roll all the way in to the sand before exploding.
Judging by the 5 story building that looks the same height as the wave shoulder in photo #2, those may have been 50 foot waves. Even Waimea shorebreak
never gets that big! Isn't nature exciting when you're not the one having to deal with it?
