First look at the monster wave that smashed surfer at Gracetown
Biggest wave ever surfed in Australia?
Justin Holland rides massive waves at the Cow Bombie in WA before breaking his leg in an 18-metre swell. Intense footage of the monster six-storey wave that shattered the leg of a champion paddle boarder in Gracetown has emerged.
The video shows the moment an 18-metre high, once-in-a-decade swell crashes over 38-year-old Justin Holland before a second wave smashes him in the back of the head.
The father-of-two from Kingscliff, NSW, is dwarfed by tonnes of white water at the Cow Bombie break off the Gracetown coast - moments before it crashes down on him snapping his femur.
Video is intense! > http://www.watoday.com.au/wa-news/fi...29-gi0tw0.html
