Okay. I want to set the records straight people.
With much respect and condolence to all the families and loved ones of this disaster, I meant nothing by my post. If this sort of similarity upsets you, then don't view it. I think Mother Nature is just as beautiful as she is dangerous and every so often, our human species needs to be reminded of that. We take advantage of her and abuse her time and time again. I am less shocked by something like this than hearing about someone that gets splattered all over the freeway because of a drunk driver or seeing kids play video games that train them to kill people and rob banks.
So to everyone, thank you for your emails. I realize this sort of thing shakes up a lot of people but that can be a good thing. We should look at this and see the good that can come out of it.

is it still around?

I really sympathize with everyone. But I'm not the kind of person that dwells on the negative. These videos are breath taking.

What around? That place, Jaws? Yes it is.

hey man love the vids, but did think you'd get a response like that. but i agree with you, these are tragic occurences, but we should never feel they could never have happened - when things are out of our control, then we're at the mercy of the earth

what kind of e-mails mr. drohan ?

probably along the lines of "you insensitive prick have you no sense of timing?"
crazy clips though.

They were just emails saying that my post was out of context due to the current disasters in Asia.
I understand where they are coming from, but I just feel they were being to narrow minded.

i'll bet in the future with better warning systems there will be crazy mofo's waiting to hit some catastrophic waves

i wish i had the skills and guts to pull shit like that.. what a hardon you must have after beating a 40ft wave with your surfboard..

just adding salt to the wound by defending yourself
- d5ive0
I'm not defending, just making a mass statement.

I'm picking up what you're layin down but I gotta say when we are dealing with over 100,000 lives taken only 4 days new it might be worth taking down and reconsidering before expecting us all to understand your wanting to display it's beauty. Just might be slightly too new still while people are still searching for their loved ones. maybe in a month or so?

what's your mass statement?
this?
I just feel they were being to narrow minded.

btw there is nothing wrong with being humble right now and taking it down in respect. At least for some days or weeks Paul? Please?

as a former surfer I think those are beautiful images.
but I also think it's the wrong time for such a post.
- _salisae_0
i agree. just apologize. you'll feel better.
aren't you here to set an example?
- designerror0
I think you should leave it up..
it's nature, and you can't do shit about it.. if you don't wanna look at people surfing 40ft waves because you link it to the tsunami waves, then simply don't click to links!
