It turns out that this monster is in southwest Australia, and is called "The Right". I'm intrigued and fearful of the wall of water that seems to ride on top of the wave.

It looks un-makeable. Does anyone ever ride out unscathed?

That's a lot of water! That mouth looks like it would have crunched the spongee, I would have liked to see a full sequence of the ride.

There is a full sequence of a ride on The Right here.

Wow. That is freaky looking. Ominous even. It just looks like it wants to crush things.
