^^That's gotta be somewhere like Nazare. There are actually surfers that go for the biggest wave ridden claim. Those guys are a whole other level of skills and human being, just like any extreme sport or adventure.

Those guys and girls are freakin nuts and i enjoy watching every second of it from a TV screen or from shore. Still watching from time to time to see who gets knocked out for their own cahones.

I have worked on / inside those big engines, and really anything below 700 mm Cylinder diameter are for boys, and yes they normally top out at around 90 - 100 RPM.


Really you would want a Danish ( well former Danish B&W motor now part of MAN group, which are also the first guys to put a diesel engine in a ship when all else was shoveling coal )
Okay maybe aside for some Dutch vessel.

Come on over and you can still see a big one getting cranked now and then.
This one was the largest engine for +30 years.
