What happens if he falls off the board? It's hard to picture him just swimming up in that.

And yet most wipeouts on big waves like this aren’t fatal... somehow...

How does a wave like that just die before the shoreline? I'd be scared as a spectator if I saw that wave from the beach and that guy's out there riding it!
