I'll always remember a scene from "endless summer" where they show a guy doing the big waves at one of the beaches in hawaii, and he comes up from a huge wipout, with his board broken in half, and the (awesomely) goofy announcer says, "You know, you can drive a truck over a surfboard, and barely scratch it. A single wave puts about 100 tons of pressure on it though, and snaps it like a twig...", or something to that effect.
