In my opinion this is one of the most brilliantly filmed pieces of big wave surfing ever made. Filmed from a helicopter, the close up of surfer Mike Parsons being towed into this wave and then slowly panning out to reveal the size of the wave in the context of the size of the surfer is masterful cinematography. The ride itself is amazing as Parsons actually gets tubed on this 64ft monster, you think the wave has claimed him and he comes out of the whitewater. On the same day he had taken a massive wipeout on an earlier wave and came back to take this wave. The footage is from a Billabong surf documentary of a big wave contest.
