10 foot waves in knee deep water. I can tell you I would be running in sheer panic with my camera entirely forgotten. 6-7 foot waves in stomach deep water is scary enough since they feel taller, but you know you aren't going to hit the bottom.

Beautiful gallery of photos. I wanna get in the ocean.
That is a very cool article. This guy has to have cajones the size of grapefruit to swim in waves that large!! Those pics are going up on my wallpaper :^))
Power 470 homes for how long? It's a meaningless number. Since this thing runs the generator on potential energy from water stored over time, once that reservoir runs out I wonder how much output this unit will have by itself?
The elusive and endangered emofish, once thought to be mythical, has been discovered to turn suicidal at the sight of the Searaser wave buoy. Animal rights activists are now calling for the dismantling of any Searaser prototypes in operation.
