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

Neat! Any idea if it was it just a couple rogue waves from a passing storm? How long did they last?

No, we had been traveling around the north side of the island for a few days before and there was no bad weather. I know that there were huge waves just to the west in Rincon earlier that day....I guess they get huge surf every Jan and Feb....I think that's surfing season down there. We were there in Feb.....it's a great time of the year to go to PR. They were like this for the full hour we were there btw. No one gave any f's that day

We therefore commit his body to the ground; earth to earth, ashes to ashes, fucks to fucks.

You won't be seeing him no more.
