This is a video of a tow-surfer riding a huge wave. Discussion on youtube did not help making clear if it is real footage or just a studio fabrication.
Does anyone know where the video came from? Is it part of a known documentary or movie? Is it a very elaborate hoax? Is it part of a promotional video or a commercial? Does anyone know who produced/directed this video?

P.S. I hate this habit (widespread on the internet) of not mentioning authorship or source, when posting content from someone else. No matter if it is text, photos, audio or video, if it’s not yours, please mention who the author is!!!

Of course it is real. It is from one of my favorite surfing videos. The billanong oddyssey. The rider in the clip there is Mike Parson. He is one of the great big waves surfers like laird hamilton.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l8_38LHTe…
There is the same clip except it has who the surfer is and where it came from.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEu7tdCUf…
