Ya, Bill was the biggest I've seen on the East Coast and definitely a reality check with a large healthy side of Respect. Definitely saw the triple overhead waves all around Hatteras island and watching those outer bars break in Rodanthe and the handful of guys who were out there on Saturday really makes you appreciate the balls and training this enigmatic sport of surfing requires. I thought I was in good shape and getting a lot better but after trying to get out Saturday in Buxton and being spit back on the beach without getting near the second bar I realize I have to put in a LOT more time to practice and train to really be ready for the majesty the ocean has to offer. I did learn that it's something I want to do but Bill definitely pinched me and said "you are not ready." Still though it was a trip to see the ocean firing bombs off like that on Saturday; Friday and Sunday when I could get out were a lot of fun ...Mad props to you crazy bastards who were carving the faces of those titans!

The Proving Grounds of the East Coast. Nothing but respect for this area. Guys have died in Buxton. It's definitely not a place to take lightly. Glad some down to earth people like you were there to enjoy the spectacle.
