Cowaramup Bombora (also known as ''Cowie Bombie'' or simply ''Cow Bombie'') is a big wave open-ocean surf break found on the south-west coast of Western Australia. It is located 2 kilometres offshore west of Gracetown which is near the town of Margaret River, world-renowned for its surf, and is 265kms south of the capital city Perth.〔http://www.surfingatlas.com/spot/4245〕〔http://www.wannasurf.com/spot/Australia_Pacific/Australia/WA/Margaret_River_North/cow_bombie/〕 The break first came to the world’s attention back in 2007, when local Damon Eastaugh won the Big Wave Award after riding a wave estimated to be more than 50 feet.〔http://www.margaretriver.com/just-passing-through-jamie-mitchell-drops-into-cow-bombie/〕 It doesn't break often, requiring huge swells from the Southern Ocean,〔http://www.surfingatlas.com/spot/4245〕 but these can produce very large waves often in excess of 40 ft〔http://www.surfingworld.com.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=253:cow-bombie-review&catid=52:daily〕 with some contending for the biggest wave in Australia at over 60 ft.〔http://www.mysurf.tv/exclusive/video/biggest-wave-ever-ridden-australia〕〔http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/did-this-margaret-river-surfer-ride-australias-biggest-ever-wave/story-fnhocxo3-1227418238542?nk=29755c87040b76b7a8a46df968945de2-1438595490〕〔https://au.news.yahoo.com/thewest/video/watch/26219232/big-wave-surfing/#page1〕 Its name comes from Cowaramup, the name of the small local townsite, and bombora, an Indigenous Australian term for ''an area of large sea waves breaking over a shallow area''. The break was featured in the 2013 documentary series ''Storm Surfers 3D'' which described it as "on its day, the tallest wave in Australia",〔http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/storm_surfers_3d/〕 where Tom Carroll survived a near-death wipeout while surfing with Ross Clarke-Jones.〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YtYkzD1pEY〕 It also featured in the 2011 documentary film ''Fighting Fear''.〔http://www.garageentertainment.com.au/blog/top-ten-mark-mathews-waves-from-fighting-fear/〕〔http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2072971/〕 In 2011 Western Australian surfer Damien Warr won the Oakley Biggest Wave award for his ride on Cow Bombie.〔http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-02-09/five-year-wait-pays-off-for-surfer/3820728?section=wa〕 In February 2015 Jarryd Foster, 27, won the Oakley Biggest Wave award for his ride on Cow Bombie.〔http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-02-12/big-wave-competition-winner-jarryd-foster/6089000〕〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CN1UbYKKPdM〕 Mick Corbett was also a 2015 finalist for the same award with his Cow Bombie ride.〔http://www.abc.net.au/news/2015-02-12/surfer-mickcorbett-rides-the-cow-bombie2c-pic-by-jamie-scottj/6089502〕〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYaRMna5WXw〕 On 26 June 2015 Australian surfer Felicity Palmateer, 22, became the first woman to surf Cow Bombie.〔http://www.perthnow.com.au/news/western-australia/did-this-margaret-river-surfer-ride-australias-biggest-ever-wave/story-fnhocxo3-1227418238542?nk=29755c87040b76b7a8a46df968945de2-1438595490〕〔http://www.surfinglife.com.au/tv/surfing/random/13774-felicity-palmateer-makes-history-at-cow-bombie〕〔http://www.mysurf.tv/exclusive/video/felicity-palmateer-makes-history-big-cow-bombie〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cowaramup Bombora」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
