20m doesnt sound a lot....
but just look up and try and imagine walls of water around 11x your height (if your 6ft)

16m is pretty good. 48ft waves. We used to ski in the winter on the North Sea so similar conditions, dry suits needed lmao But it was awesome, some of the swells were really immense, you'd get good air on one huge wave, only to find the following was a bit further back than expected and a huge "hole" would appear behined the wave you'd just gone over... 8-10m waves quickly became 15-20m waves on the other side
I was ok on a ski, you can control it and you ride up and over waves when moving slowly, i'd be more scared on a large ship or liner or fixed rig I reckon Those guys have balls.

Daimo - are you sure 10m waves?
and ps... wave height is peak to trough  no way you were out on a jetski, in the uk, in 20m waves. You'd be deeeeed. Thats liek jumping off a three storey house

20m waves i'd be dead yeah.... But its do-able, but i'd want some serious power. Bigger the wave the bigger the distance and less of an incline (but in windy, you get lots of small peaks appear on top).
Roughly 30ft waves from the bottom of the trough to peak of the wave. Seriously seriously big water. This was about a mile off the coastline. As the water gets closer to the shore the bottom flattens it all out and they turn into long low rolling waves. Thats the very biggest i've done. Usually though your looking about a 15-20ft wave in mid winter. Summer is much calmer (and warmer).
Bigger the waves the better, more air, more time for tricks. Complete mofo if you fell off mid air though as fighting the waves swimming was a nightmare.
Even saw some idiot more up his boat too close to the shoare, as the tide went out the waves crashed over the boat, pulling it out to sea, and sinking it. 20+ men with ropes dragging in a sunken speedboat was comical.... Boats suck in big water.
I'd LOVE a crack off the top of this kind of wave though, SERIOUS air as theres a huge peak. A LONG way back down though

Daimo is a personal friend of Neptune though, so he provided large waves specifically for him, and made sure he was safe. No one else could of survived.
