Laurie Towner's surf philosophy in a nutshell and it earned him $20,000. Laurie, from Yamba in northern NSW, won Biggest Wave in the Oakley Surfing Life Big Wave Awards at a crazy presentation evening in Bondi, where the cream of Aussie and New Zealand megasurf chargers gathered to honour their finest rides of the past year. Always relaxed, Towner was gobsmacked by his win. "I can't believe it!" he told the audience. "I'm going to try not to let it affect me, I look at it as some extra money to chase more big waves around the world." The winning ride was snared at Cow Bombie, a deepwater reef off the south-west Western Australian coast, where Towner and a few mates had flown on word of the biggest swell of the season. They waited out a morning of gale-force winds and rain before heading out on jetskis to face the ocean. "It's the fastest I've ever gone on a surfboard," was how Laurie described the ride. "Most big wave spots in Australia are quite close to the land. This one's a few kilometers offshore and you're surrounded by ocean. It's not somewhere you want things to go wrong.”" "But we always go out there with a few other ski teams as well, so there's always people looking out for you, which is good to know.”" Laurie Towner wins Biggest Wave in the Oakley Surfing Life Big Wave Awards "The best wave is the one you don't think you'll make.”" That's 22-year-old...
