Before Ira (pictured above) began his solo quest, no sane person, or surfer, would have guessed that a man-made wave could get this big; A true freak of [man meets] nature. However, seeing this surprisingly big ship wake, at this size, only occurred six times during Ira's six month long quest. The 144 other ship-produced waves were in the one to two foot range, rarely reaching a meter. This fact alone might explain why no previous documentation of a wave of this caliber had ever been taken at this spot, let alone surfed. Surf Berlin isn't about riding just ANY wave; it's about riding THE BEST WAVE Germany has to offer. Something for the record books. Something that sadly nobody will ever repeat.
The slope of the sandbar that formed the Surf Berlin wave was so gradual, for so long, that when a wave of considerable size was approaching, one could see its crest forming sometimes two minutes before it actually broke. Yet where it actually decided to eventually break was often far away from where it broke the time before. The Mystery Spot of surfing.
