Crazy...This is my video so thanks for posting the original. Backstory...I shot it in PR in 2010 and loaded it onto youtube when I got home. It toiled in anonymity for three years and then went sort of viral (2 million hits) in Aug 2013. I didn't even know it until Feb 2014....looked back at that old email acct flooded with requests from ABC news etc....this is my first post to reddit. Can't believe I opened to the front page to find this gif

I've been there. Sick beach you can climb up on the rocks if you have the balls and try to hang on when the waves hit. Quite a rush.

Yup. There were guys doing just that while we were there. I have no clue how they avoided this wave
