I hope I am high enough and far enough away so as not to worry.

LOL

Thanks for your concern.

Would be the best time to go surfing with all the sewer trash.
Nothing like hanging ten while some needles infected with aids are floating next to you in the wave.

MMMMMMM, count me in.... NOT!

Imagine what happened at the end of the last major glaciation (14,000 years ago) when Antarctica began sloughing off mountains of ice chunks to trim down to it's present diminutive size.

The waves generated there would undoubtedly have devastated almost every seacoast in the world Island as well as the Americas.

Yeah. Even with the camera zooming out like that, you still don’t get a grasp of the actual size.

I’ve seen photos from other perspectives and it’s like the guy on the board is being chased down by a blue-green, seven storey building.

I’d guess the rider’s perspective is something else, again; like “COWABUNGA!!!”

"Imagine what happened at the end of the last major glaciation "

Think that's bad? Imagine what happened when the moon was new and only 40,000 miles away. Mile high tides! Every six hours!!
