This incredible sequence by Mike Hutchings shows Anthony Tashnick of the U.S. getting airborne during the 2008 Big Wave Africa surfing event held at Dungeons Reef off Cape Town's Hout Bay this Saturday. The wave is so high, the background so gloomy and the water so white that you have more the sensation of looking at an extreme snowboarder going downhil than at a surfer!

Here are other pictures from the same event, some of them are really specacular like the one in which a seal pops up just in front of the surfer, the one in which a surfer is literally plummeting from a wave or the one in which a guy shows a broken board... for sure at this editon of Big Wave Africa big waves did not miss...
