I'm sure it's photoshopped whatever it's supposed to be. I really don't get what it is though.
But man, above and beyond the obviously photoshopped in abnormality of the wave, if that's a normal day at some surfing spot it looks more like rush hour traffic, how do they keep from running over each other?
Southern cali would have twice as many surfers in half as much water. really not that many surfers in that picture. not sure about the wave though, it could happen.
