Behold, glacier wave surfing. Oh yeah, it’s exactly as you imagine. DeepwaterFilms gets heavy into it as world champion big wave surfers, Garrett McNamara and Kealii Mamala ride into a monster tsunami created by Child’s Glacier in South-Central Alaska.
I’ve seen these glaciers up close while I was adventure guiding in Alaska and I can tell you, surfing like this is completely insane. But totally awesome. Speaking of Alaskan surfing adventures, have you ever seen someone surf the tidal bore on the Turnagain Arm? I have. It’s also awesome. Nothing cooler than a ten-mile tidal wave.
Ride ‘em while you can, folks. We’ll be out of glaciers in a few years.
Hat tip to Vagabondish.
