When you get swallowed by the waves of the biggest sea monster in the world (also known as the wonderful ocean), there’s not much you can do but protect your head and hope you know which way is up. It’s like being trapped inside a water tornado. This footage, captured by pro surfer Mark Healey, shows the exact feeling of getting hit by a gigantic wave. It’s a brutal spin.

What are geeks taking to the beach this year? I have no idea, because it’s freezing cold where I am. But surfer geeks should be checking out these fun Walking Dead and R2-D2 surfboards. They’ll let you catch a wave while you fly your geek flag proudly.
I think the R2-D2 design is the best -acting as a surfboard is just one more facet of this versatile maintenance droid we weren’t aware of until now. On the other hand, I feel like the Walking Dead board would attract sharks. Zombie sharks.
These were first spotted by Katie Graef at the 2013 Surf Expo in Florida, where I’m sure they were a huge hit.
Both of these were airbrushed by Josh DelRocco of Ricky Carroll Surfboards. They do good work. If I surfed, I would buy something like this in a heartbeat.
