I get quite excited when its big..
Probably considered lame by others but I actually start hooting myself when I outrun, or just make a big heavy section.. I just cant help myself Im so excited and pumped up 
This double-head or double-mast high wave thing is BS. I'm just over 6' and a sailboard mast is 5m long. Double that and you've got furking big waves.
Anything bigger than me is gunna hurt if I get smashed by it.
At the ocean beaches I ride the waves that are bigger than me tend to stand up then crumble so they're not too hard to deal with.
Some of the gnarlier beach breaks have waves that suck out and go hollow. It's amazing to watch the the lip of the wave pitch over your head, just before it pile drives you to the bottom.
The vast majority of people cannot handle a wave that is more than knee to waist high.
Not a surf kiter, but a surfer, anything over 16 foot face will hurt on a long board on the way out and way back.
All I realise as I get older is a lip pitch, critical bottom hand turn is going to hurt if you get it wrong.
All I can say Surfingboye is glad you survived that one & Gorgo maybe a board is an optional accessory in that size, loose the board and enjoy the big wave body bashing.
I keep keep going back to that photo of surfingboy . That is NASTY big nuts plum coco nut size ones . One word really for you and that is respect.
Good photo of surfingboye.
I'm trying to decide whether I'd prefer to be hooked into a chicken loop OR paddling towards it on a surfboard.
if your weightless for three or more seconds, waiting to go OVER the falls... That's a Big Wave.

Double head gets pretty ring puckering.
Anything above double head is pretty terrifying.....
Any head would do me at the moment.
A big wave is any wave that scares you.
Many years ago (when I was diving and not kiting) I took my 'rubber duck' (4 metre inflatable with 30hp motor) out for a spin at 'Blackfellows' surf break, near Elliston during a huge swell.
We headed into one wave, it was like driving up a big hill, seemed to be going up and up for ages on this huge green monster. As we neared the top, the top few metres started to break, we had just enough time to turn the boat around and race back down the face! Exciting stuff but we didn't stick around to try our luck a second time
I don't have any photos and wouldn't be game to try to guess the size, but this was on a day when the BOM were calling a 6 metre swell. Anyone who knows the region will have a good idea of what the break would look like in that sort of sea.
wicked picture , sorry but i carnt help but laugh every time i see it , i zoom in on the kiter and wonder what hes thinking and saying to himself, cmon surfingboy tell us what you were thinking

We need a kiter to slide it into the next poley caption comp, I reckon they would have fun with that one
