Who is BIG WAVE RIDER? Big Wave Rider told him about the flood in Santa Catalina, when the ruthless waves left
craters in the depths of the ocean. The surfers, looking like ants on the side of a volcano, paddled out beneath the tubular masses of water that fell like cinderblocks seconds before the plunge. Because of the exhausting beating of the sea, fatigue hindered the movements of their forearms, and light cramps kept the surfers from reaching their desired destination. In the distance, a hill, a marine mutation, a possible prelude to a tidal wave swallowed the sky and half the sun.
