Anyone know who the surfer was in the last scene where Patrick Swazie gets crushed by a giant wave?

Just watched it again on Youtube... About a twenty foot face, equates to 10-12 foot swell..

Too big for me, but small compared to todays standards.

Notice that by wearing a wetsuit (it was supposed to be Bells Beach) he skidded down the face and didn't penetrate the surface. I read somewhere that he said he got really worked.

 Cop: We'll get him when he comes back in!

 Johnny Utah: He's not coming back.

Makes me laugh each time I watch it because there's no pine trees along the top of the cliffs at Bells..  ;D

Haha the pine trees totally ruin it. Looks more like Vancouver Island than Bells...

The night surf was actually pupakea, north shore, late spring, noon.

We were just a small group, the Hui on the jet ski had us out of the water
quickly.  Some pros in full suits and cameramen paddled out and did it
in one take.  Used filters to make it dark.

They,re doing a remake now. I think they should do a sequel. Bohdi really didn,t die and Johnny U is called in to find him.

I guess Gerard Butler has been bitten by the surfing bug.  ::)
