There's a great scene in the book "Lucifer's Hammer" by Larry Niven of just that situation. When the comet hit this guy was out on the bay on his surfboard and he caught a 1000ft tall tidal wave. As he rode the face he could see houses and trees disappearing beneath him but ahead was the 50 story (crs) building coming at him like a giant flyswatter.


Cool...
