This guy clearly likes extreme adventure! I wouldn't try to ride this wave even if I was tied to a helicopter, ready to be snatched our of harms way!
You may seem to be caught in life's dangerous tide, feeling like the waves are going to engulf you at any moment. Ask Jesus for help, and He will immediately act. His word is alive and proven. All God has to do is speak, and good things happen. Sometimes He allows testing, to polish your character, but He never leaves you and always gives you the strength you need!
Isaiah 43:2-3, "When you pass through the waters, I will be with you;
And through the rivers, they shall not overflow you.
When you walk through the fire, you shall not be burned,
Nor shall the flame scorch you. For I am the Lord your God,
The Holy One of Israel, your Savior,"

Guinness World Records can confirm that Garrett McNamara has entered the record books for surfing the largest ever wave.
The Hawaiian 44-year-old managed to surf a mammoth 78-foot wave last November at Nazaré, Portugal, a feat which has now been ratified by GWR after examining evidence.
His epic ride, which required him to be towed into the wave from a jetski, beats a record set by Mike Parsons at Cortes Bank in southern California, in 2008 by over a foot.

Garrett, a professional big wave surfer for the Body Glove
International team, is part of an elite group that travels the
world chasing storms and tracking swells in an effort to surf the
largest waves.
In the past he has ridden breaks such as Waimea in Oahu, Mavericks in California and Todos Santos in Mexico.
Describing the record breaking wave ride, Garrett said: "It's the most challenging, dangerous wave I've ever surfed - it's the only place in the world in which a giant canyon reaches all the way to the beach".
Among those to congratulate Garrett on his achievement was Jorge Barroso, mayor of the town of Nazaré, who commended the daredevil surfer with a tribute at last week's 2012 Billabong XXL Global Big Wave Award awards ceremony in Anaheim, California.
The mayor said: "It is an honour to bring this title to our waters.. For the strength, bravery and the constant will to improve. Nazaré is a bit like your second home and our population admires you."
The record for largest wave surfed (paddle-in) remains held by Shane Dorian, who managed to successfully ride a wave measured at measured 57ft (17.4 m) in height without a tow at a break known as 'Jaws' off the coast of Maui, Hawaii, USA in March last year.
