the video is real

Tom, your words are offending me, you should be more careful not to speak that way in a public media without knowing about the matter. The accident result was two people injured and it could have even been more serious.

My friend… this is not a joke…

Can you imagine how dangerous it would have been If another wave had come before the ship had escaped? Believe me and watch it here, it happens at the same place, with a powerful engine jackpot and with less waves coming up.

Several boats returning from a race the same day and they were all trying the same manoeuvre running even with more risk (this is my point of view, taking into account I am not a sailor I could be wrong).
I recorded all of them because I believed it is going to be a catastrophe, I am surfing since I was a child and I know the sea and the place very well.

Here you have a nice picture from the same place. http://500px.com/photo/71211775/the-monster-wave-by-gabi-aymat?from=user_library
