At some point in the story of slabs, we arrive at a question that's as thick and complex as the breaks discussed here: Since determining the heaviest wave in the world is so subjectively impossible and physically incalculable -- we shall settle for "Who's the heaviest guy?"
"I would have to say Mark Mathews is the best [slab rider]," asserts Bra Boy/ Ours kingpin Koby Abberton, before reading off a laundry list of close-seconds. Mathews -- whose life and loyalties are detailed alongside best friend Richie "Vass" Vaculik in Macario De Souza's upcoming film [i] Fighting Fear [i] [www.FightingFearTheFilm.com] -- has built a career almost solely on challenging these below-sea-level behemoths. So the Maroubra pro is as fit as anyone to ask: out of all the slabs detonating in all the oceans of the world, which one's the scariest?
