"Every winter, when the huge Northwest swells roll into Maui's North Shore, they create the world's largest ridable waves at a break called 'Jaws'. It is named for its huge gaping barrels. The waves here are so enormous that they're impossible to paddle into - the fastest paddlers can't generate enough speed to make their way down the wave's face. This problem has been solved by using Jet Skis to pull the surfer into the waves. Once the surfer has caught the wave, he releases the tow handle, and the fun begins! Meanwhile, the Jet Ski follows the surfer's progress on the outside of the wave, ready to pick him up when the ride is over." I got the above information from this web-site.
I was just mesmerized with the hugeness of the waves that is almost impossible to capture the idea with my cognitive capacity.

日 曜日に、ローレンとマウイの北側の海に「ジョーズ」を見に行きました。その日はジョーズに乗っているサーファー達は見ませんでしたが、今朝の新聞の一面 に、昨日ジョーズに乗ったサーファーの写真が載っていました。ジョー ズといってもサメではなく、年間平均12回ほど発生する

私はただただ、認識仕切れない「大きさ」に魅了されて、しばらくボーっと見ておりました。
