    Awh sh!t dawg down here in NC it was head high all morning, but I'm 5'7" and was squatting or pig dogging below my waist line. So yeah head high, right?... Not. Still, I got barreled, had fun and surfed my brains out!

    Only at the peek of the set waves was it 3-4. Heck in Hawaii it would be like someone just flushed the toilet... Tiny.

    Thanks all for the feedback guys. I realized that the dude who said it was head high has never surfed anywhere besides the mid atlantic. Check out the fiji pro at cloudbreak last month.. they (pro tour guys) were calling it 6-8 ft.
    So... head high on a three foot short period swell..? hell no.
    But it was super fun anyway and the water was crystal clear and so warm!
