********* Even for the best surfers, survival is the main thing when the surf gets big. I remember going to the North Shore of Oahu one day and finding Sunset closed, cuz some big name surfer had just died in the 30 ft winter surf. Even with people around, it's easy to die: http://www.surfline.com/surfnews/article.cfm?id=1617
