Shark Park
The Heaviest Wave in California
A documentary film by Greg Huglin
Running Time: 43 minutes
Watch an international team of towsurfers ride a virgin wave at a
remote offshore reef during the 2005/2006 giant winter swells.
Greg Huglin is a man possessed; a Californian who has traveled the
world in search of surf, returning home only to continue the hunt in
his own backyard. Filmmaker, avant guard photographer and ocean expert
are just some of the cards in his deck. And he plays those cards very
close to his chest. For the last 10 years, Greg has been playing a very
private game of wave riding poker that was finally dealt out in a very
high stakes location.
Huglin had done his research well. He had piloted his own boat to the
reef, surveyed the bottom and even flown over in a helicopter to
supplement his analysis with aerial reconnaissance. Even with all the
data in his hands, he told everyone involved that it was one big
crapshoot. Factors that don't affect near-shore waves would be major
forces to deal with out there. Incessant wind, raging currents and gray
suited locals would significantly reduce the hit rate. The name for
this wave of chance is Shark Park - that alone should give you pause.
If you are dealt an unlucky hand out here, you might not be able to
walk away from the table with your life, much less the wetsuit on your
back.
Here is the story of Greg's pursuit and amazing adventures to Shark
Park that will go down as history in the making.
