Note: Keep your volume down but not off and watch as full-screen as possible. This is a short video capturing some very amateur baseball practice when a ball comes right at the camera and made me duck under my desk. I think part of the reason it’s so surprising is

These are a couple of videos of Brazilian big wave surfer Maya Gabeira setting the women’s world record for largest wave surfed, with this terrifying 73.5-foot bonecrusher off the coast of Nazaré, Portugal.
