Tiny wave or giant ducks?

Our buddy, Ed, has been on a boat in the Mentawai Islands for the past 10 days, undoubtedly surrounded by incredible waves.  Ed demonstrates his broceanography skills par excellence with this little shot of perfection that he chased down somewhere off the beaten path.

Giant ducks in background make it hard to appreciate the wave's massive size. 

Here’s a link to a larger version of the pic.

Surfboard with built-in tablet pc

this surfer was beaten down by his own crew shortly after this pic was taken.Although this story is a bit dated, I feel it deserves a mention.  It’s a surfboard with a built-in wirelss tablet pc, so surfers can surf (the internet) while they’re out in the water.

From the looks of it, the whole thing was more of a gimick to demonstrate wireless technology.  Two years have passed since the product’s unveiling and I haven’t seen any further developements,  but still it goes to show that they can do anything with computers.
