Dwarfed by a massive wave, Tyler Smith competes in the finals of the 2006 Maverick's Surf Contest at Pillar Point, Northern California's most famed surf break, near Half Moon Bay. Smith was one of 24 top big-wave riders from around the world who got 40 hours' notice that the waves would be just right -- and that meant big, glassy swells occasionally approaching 50 feet high.
