Daredevil Chuck Patterson surfs giant wave with skis and poles
14th Feb 2013 4:45pm | By Editor
Daredevil Chuck Patterson found a novel way to tackle the waves off the coast of Hawaii – on skis!
It looks like another big wave riding hero but look a little closer and you can see that the man at bottom of the wall of water is not on a board but skis. Look a little closer still and the mental wave rider has two ski poles in his hands as well.
Chuck is a ‘driven by his passion for snow’. He grew up skiing in Lake Tahoe California as a young man but has made the transition to water, now.
He obviously gets a little snow-sick for the slopes though and decided to give himself a little reminder as his ski-surf video below shows.
