Backwash

Uploaded: February 24, 2014

Description

Huge waves pound the coast of Rio De Janeiro brazil, this was the result of 1 10ft wave hitting rock shelf then rebounding off heading back out to sea to collide with another 10-15 feet wave, the result is amazing. Note the fisherman on the top left corner of the photo for perspective!

Rio, Brazil.
