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.
