Big wave surfing is a discipline within surfing in which surfers paddle into, or are towed into, waves that are at least 20 feet (6.2 m) high, on surf boards known as "guns" or towboards. [1] The size of the board needed to successfully surf these waves varies by the size of the wave, as well as the technique the surfer uses to reach it.
