Actually, that was me, so it is real. I am a trained proffesional, so I have to show off at times.

I've seen the surfer video on this site before but not with the house and street. It looks like someone has added the two together. When the camera zooms in it is looking at a wave that is very near and about 6ft high but the surfer would have to be much further away on a much bigger wave to appear that small. It's a fake.
Not sure if that footage is fake or not, but people do surf in waves that big. I personally would never surf, as I hate the beach, but living in Australia, you just can't escape from the news footage. On the Goldcoast in QLD you get some pretty big waves and there's always some idiot who wants to risk life and limb just so they can be a hero. I'm pretty sure you get waves like that in Hawaii (sorry if I spelt that wrong, brain not functioning).
