Surf on Mars

A test -

  1. have you ever looked at waves caused by boat wake lap on the shore of a lake or river and thought "If I was an ant I could be totally barreled on that !"
  2. did you watch the beach landing sequence on "Saving Private Ryan" and decide what board would be best for the onshore waves battering the landing craft ?
  3. do you know that the waves supposed to be Bells in "Point Break" was not only going the wrong way (it was a left) but was reversed stock Waimea footage ?
  4. have you washed you clothes in "Surf" washing powder just because its called surf ?
If you answered yes to any of these questions then you'll probably look at this picture from the Mars orbiter and think "That looks like a nice point break." Thats what I thought anyway.
