    Storm Surfers- How Heavy Is A Big Wave?

    These surfers are insane. But how heavy are the waves that surfers ride on? The storm surfers break it down.

    These are the Storm Surfers!

    They go on adventures to ride the biggest waves they can find.

    But those waves are scarier than they look. Watch this storm surfer do a crazy dance to demonstrate the scariness!

    And the storm surfers can prove it through their surfology.

    Surfology = (math and science behind surfing).

    "MATH!?" you say. "I HATE MATH!"

    Don’t worry, the storm surfers will break it down for you.

    Each cubic meter in this wave weighs just over 1 ton.

    The wave stands 10m high and the lip is 20m wide

    So this part of the wave alone weighs 410 tons! Which is equal to 315 small cars!

    and you thought this looked scary...

    So the next time you see clips like this...
