Peter Davi, an accomplished surfer, lived for monster waves and died in one off Ghost Trees, a Monterey County surf spot known for its "potent swells and dangerous conditions."
A friend and competitor professional surfer Tyler Smith said
the wave faces were as big as 60 to 70 feet, "almost as big as we've seen out there."
"It's super-sad, man. He was a gentle giant who surfed for his whole life."
Legendary surfer perishes in huge waves.
