X-treme Surfing
NEW CORDOVA, Alaska -- There's a new extreme sport you may not have heard of: glacier surfing.
Hawaii tow-in surfing team Garrett McNamara and Kealii Mamala have just returned from Alaska where they became the first - and possibly last - surfers to successfully ride glacier- generated tsunami waves of up to 25 feet. Their tsunami surfing experience took place at Child's Glacier on the Copper River, in South-Central Alaska, located near the town of Cordova, Alaska.
The largest wave Garrett rode was a 15-foot face. Keali'i rode a 20- to 25-foot wave.
