Glacier Surfing Recap

By Rocky Thompson on October 9th, 2007

Garret McNamara and Kealii Mamala recall the mortal terror involved in surfing waves formed from glaciers collapsing into the sea in this article. The greatest danger was if a calving glacier “bookshelved” out and toppled flat on them like a domino instead of dropping vertically into the sea. You can see why they would be concerned.
