How does it feel when such a mass of water with the spin and force in it slams on your head? Jesus.

why do they use foot straps when they big wave surf. I know they have to get towed in.. but its possible to start on a board without being strapped in

At the speed they're moving over the water it is EXTREMELY difficult to keep a board under your feet without bindings, and on waves that powerful I'd venture to guess that you really want to keep slipouts to a minimum...

you would have to have balls like basketballs to do that. mostly because if you crashed the buoyancy of those balls would be your only hope for survival.
