That' looks intense. I saw some heavy surf in NC when I was there in the early 80s. It's scared me half to death, even with the house on stilts. -K — "Turn the knob to 10 and break it off!" -Baja Marty Top

IronMaiden Joined: Nov 02, 2006 Posts: 564 Virginia Beach	Posted on May 08 2007 01:01 PM Yeah, all the surfers around here were talking about 10-15 feet off obx the last few days. Its like that here in V Beach, but choppy as hell, plus the water is still at like 50. Also, knee-high is avarage waves around here, most of these kids would shit bricks paddleing out in that shIte.

You can check out more on 2nd street's website. Down here in South Florida it was clean and unrideable at 15' with long glassy closeouts. Lots of surfers sitting on the beach just watching because they were closing out so fast. Much smaller and more rideable today. — CUTBACK Top

Much smaller and more rideable today. i had the feeling that photo was taken in satellite beach. our surf up here is still big and choppy. a container ship lost a couple of containers off our coast and now there's chunks of stryrofoam all over our beaches for miles. the coast guard rescued people off three sailboats also. who knows what may wash up here in the next few days. — www.surfintheeye.com Top

There's something about Huge Surf... back in December (I think) there was a tow-in surf competition in Lincoln City, Oregon (Nelscott Reef)... 35+ surf!! It was amazing watching these teeny white trails streaking down the waves 1/2 mile off shore. Got to see guys like Peter Mel, Jeff Clark, Flea... amazing! Here's a pic... yup... that's Oregon! — Steve The Apollo Four 2012-present https://www.facebook.com/ApolloFour/ The Verbtones 2002-2012 Top
Surfgitar Joined: Mar 16, 2007 Posts: 1342 Ft. Lauderdale, Florida	Posted on May 09 2007 01:40 PM Believe it or not, MIAMI (South Beach) was the place for waves yesterday. Perfect A-frames, clean and double overhead. I haven't found photos yet but I'm sure they'll be posted somewhere. It was really exciting just watching these monsters roll in. However, I hope beach and property damage was kept to a minimum up your way. As for Oregon surf, my hats off to you guys - both for having the guts to handle big wave surfing and for braving the cold. (Those Maverick boyz and the best) Awesome photo! — CUTBACK Top

I don't have the guts to handle big wave surfing, but with a 4/3 wetsuit, booties, gloves and maybe a hood, the cold water's no problem... oh yeah, except for the ice cream headaches!
