Alaska Glacier Surfing?
August 12, 2007 - 04:51 PM
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."
- Garrett McNamara after
his trip to AK.
