The wave / Casey, Susan

Recounts the exploits of Laird Hamilton and his group of surfers as they travel the world searching for the ultimate wave, a one hundred-foot monster that has the ability to destroy ships.

Traces the recent discovery of physics-defying ocean waves at heights previously thought impossible, describing the efforts of the scientific community to understand the phenomenon, the pursuits of extreme surfers to ride these waves, and the destructive capabilities of tsunamis.
