    • Hi Gary, you might be able to surf a mega-tsunami, but they are very rare. The last one hit Alaska in 1958 and had a run up height of 1720 feet tall.. Mega Tsunamis have a large wave, but tsunamis do not have a face. Meaning you couldn’t surf one.

    • I had them as well Norman, that’s the main reason I am doing these “disaster” type quizzes. A lot of myths out there that I thought were true as well.
