I don’t believe the second and third photos to be real.

The first one is just a regular wave. The second is a shoop that came out right after the boxing day tsunami. The third is a shoop fer shur. The forth is a collapsed mine. There was a whirlpool, and the one after that also seems legit. As for the last one, it just looks like a road was spray painted.

Tsunamis aren’t just one big crest wave (or wind generated) that you could surf. It’s a series of constant wave lengths.

agreed.
[real (if not from the tsunami, it may be a real wave] [probably shoop]
[definitely fake]
[could be real, though I struggle to imagine this]
[could be real. I don’t know enough about earthquakes and tsunamis to say for sure.]
[looks pretty real. i find it hard to believe that it just split right down the middle, though]
[could be real. hell, they may have made the road that way.]

The split road down the middle likely occurred due to the road being repaved at some point one lane at a time. It quite often happens with flexible pavements that individual lanes are not strongly connected.
