"WallStreet" Surfers

Surfing? Anyone here know about Biggest Wednesday?

I will post on stocks, but name of board reminded me of chance experience of surfing in 1999 with 2 of the 6 people who surfed Biggest Wednesday in 1998, the Willis Brothers, identical twins. Saw pic on wall of impossible 60 FOOT wave, asked is that photoshopped. Answer from Michael, no that is my brother Milt surfing Biggest Wednesday. Explained big wave contest shut down as too big, police banned anyone from surfing, but the two of them and 4 others snuck out at Sunset and came back to Log Cabins.

He said that was a small 60 foot wave we did 120 foot waves at outer Sunset and 60-70 footers at outer Log Cabins. Sounded like tall tale to me. After surfing with them that day a few years later decided to check it out, found out it was all true!

Here is a video of it, it was maybe the most famous day in surfing history.
