Title:
BILLABONG XXL (Biggest wave of the year) Contest

Description:
If this year's Billabong XXL Awards are any indication, waves aren't the only things getting bigger. The known big-wave universe is growing as well. In addition to familiar big waves such as Maverick's and Todos Santos, XXL finalists have come in from spots that weren't even known about a decade ago, like Ghost Tree in Monterey, Shipstern's bluff in Tasmania or Playa Gris in Spain.

Shark Jump
A Shark Jumping!! ... Un Tiburon saltando!! ... Background Music: Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc Info by: Jigaboo123456: "This is from tehe BBC programme "Planet Earth, It was shot near Seal Island of cape Hope, South Africa. It was a real seal,not a prop, it would weigh about 300 to 600 lbs (140 to 280 kg.)and be around 6ft long. Gives you an nidea of the size of that shark! This jumping or "Breaching" has only been seen here; it occurs because there is a deep water trench before the safety of a shelf, the Great Whites zoom up at a 45 degree angle with great speed and momentum- the impactalone would kill a man" All rights are from the person who did the video and the people who have the rights... The music is from Gorillaz and they have the rights. I don't own anything of the video.
