Rusty Long Wipeout at Todos Santos 2010

Rusty Long in a very bad place during the Todos Santos Big Wave Event 2010. Not surprisingly, this effort netted Rusty the “wipeout of the day” award. Had it not been for the offshore winds, he might have been able to make it down the face. Still, it was a tremendous effort, the kind that sets all of the big wave guys apart. They’re not afraid to take the chance, and they DO pay the price. Did I mention they were competing for a bottle of tequila!
