During my younger teenage years, a friend whacked off whilst staying over at a mate's house, using a 'tummy wipe' to clean up. However friend's dog wandered in, picked up tissue and ate it.
My mate was really scared the dog was going to get pregnant and give birth to some kind of mandog creature.

Possibly an earthquake and the effect captured in the water...?
I think the background is just a regular picture of a huge wave at Jaws surf site or similar - it really does look like that. The wave is going to the left and the white bit is the previous wave having just broken.

The surfers aren't paddling for the wave, hence why they are not facing the correct way.

I'd like a print of that on my wall
For the first time ever in the United States, the famous French photographer, Jean Guichard, made an official personal appearance to autograph his world famous lighthouse prints at Lighthouse Depot in Wells, Maine.
He is best known for his explosive “Wave” photograph of a lighthouse off the coast of Brittany, France, showing a keeper at the door about to be engulfed by a titanic wave. The photograph is truly one of the most recognizable lighthouse photographs in the world. When first seeing the famous photograph, most people assume that the lighthouse keeper must have been killed.
In fact, the keepers had been living in fear of death during the 1989 storm and at one point had taken refuge in the lantern room of the tower. Waves the night before had smashed through the lower windows of the tower, causing the structure to flood, washing away everything in its path including the television, table, chairs, coffee maker and even the refrigerator. The keepers in fact were waiting to be rescued by helicopter.
As Jean Guichard’s helicopter approached the tower he was unaware that the keepers were waiting for a rescue helicopter. Guichard was simply there to take photographs of the waves pounding the structure. The keepers heard the sound of the helicopter and naturally assumed it was the rescue helicopter. One of the keepers opened the lower door of the structure and as he looked up at the helicopter and realized that it was not the rescue chopper, he also realized that a giant wave was about to engulf the tower. He immediately turned about and pulled the door closed behind him. Had he not done so at that second, he surely would have been killed. While all this was happening, Jean Guichard was busy taking photographs as fast as he could click the camera, thus capturing on film the most dramatic action shots ever taken at a lighthouse.

f
k that! The white bit is where the reef is and very shallow(inches) The wave sucks the water back to make such a heavy wave. If you fall off it'll be messy. Riding Giants is a really good documentry about big wave surfing, well worth a watch if you can't find anything good at blockbuster.
