Just a spot of constructive criticism. At the start of the film we need a shot of the ship we are on! Are we on a tug? An oil tanker? A fishing boat? Excellent film of the wave action, the imagination of the viewer just needs to know what we are in. Also If there is anyone on board under the age of 70 and capable of speaking English you might have him narrate some details. E.g. are we looking thru windows at the stern in a following sea? It could be the bow but there is no spray being thrown up. We can't see the bow and we can't imagine it because we haven't seen a picture of the vessel we are on. Also If you are going to force us to listen to screaming hydraulic motors at least tell us what they are. Details brother, details.

What qualifies this as “the largest waves on the Planet”? Those waves can’t possibly the largest. The largest recorded wave was over 1700 ft. There are waves that are surfed in the 70ft range. A category 10 swell is 50ft plus. Those are rare but reported. Maybe I have the perspective wrong and I’m not seeing the true size of the waves.
