i know the pain... I've been there. It is one of the hardest parts of being a surfer to have obligations while the surf is htting. I hope you can rush from the desk and catch some fun ones before dark!

I think im gonna head to clearwater saturday, never surfed the gulf coast before, any pointers? Looking for a hollow dumping bodyboard type break with offshore winds shouldn't be that hard to find

:cool: Just got back from...well I guess it's not a secret any longer...I'll just say Venicio!

Totally baked! Wave faces 8', lefts mainly, catching 'em way out to the beeach on LB. SB was okay, but way too crowded for the SB. As a matter of fact...can we get some mo' kooks up in here without leashes please? I mean WTF! 100 guys out in a small area, and some kook gonna not be wearing a leash. Just glad it wasn't my board. Remember ya'll, we gotta paddle through them kooks to get back to the real waves! Peace...

well, isurfed the biggest waves i've ever seen on the gulf coast, at a 'not so secret' spot in panama city...

with 25 other people. (NOT crowded at all, considering last week i tried to count how many were out and lost count around 130 people.)

it was the definition of epic.
