A surfer wipes out at a break known as "Fairy Bower" on Sydney's northern beaches May 31, 2010. A small number of Sydney surfers made the most of big swells that gale force winds bought to Sydney on Monday as Australia's east coast was drenched by an intense low pressure system.

Why didn't the volcano make it in? I would have voted for that one.

    That guy didn't "Wipe out" he's done with that wave cause it closed out on him. Dummies

      I don't know about the volcano picture; but as for the second, people get tired of seeing pretty young women in tank tops crying.

        The volcano is boring and has a focal point smack in the middle of it.

        The girl crying is good, but has a slightly green color cast and needs too much of a caption to understand.

        The "Wipe Out", isn't a wipe out at all, the surfer is merely pulling out of the wave after riding it.
