Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

When surf and surfer meet, it's hardly as equals. As this gallery of video clips attests, a monster wave can dismantle a human on a board with one swift swipe of the paw. But when surfer strikes the right balance with ocean beast, there are few things so dazzling in sports. Hosted by Surfline, this collection of clips presents an array of such moments. Watch Brian Conley commit an "ultra-feral journey" through the eye of the breaker—and then do it again and again. Spot the seemingly unsinkable Dusty Payne as he jumps and cuts across the foamy barrier. And say hello to 14-year-old Carissa Moore, who has now attained official spit-fire status. Ride through such notorious breakers as the Pipeline or Teahupo'o, slide through recent big board contests, shiver at the idea of riding the Jersey waters in March; and catch the speed demons on display off Australia's coasts. Of course, you can always just paddle in and let the wave take you where it wants. Enjoy.
