Alaska Glacier Surfing?

I just got back from one of the craziest, scariest, coolest photo shoots of my life. It is the first of its kind ever and hopefully the last. Basically giant pieces of ice would fall down from a 400 ft super active glacier (Child's Glacier) and create a tsunami wave. The surfers would wait for hours for one to fall and once that happened they would chase after it on their jetskis and try to catch it without getting killed by ice and rock debris. Check out a small sampling of images below as Garrett tows Kealii into a bomb.

"I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I won't be going back. This is not a new sport."
