    The real question is, "would you go".

    Not just the barrel either. Very hollow. Very shallow. And very, very cold.

    Charging no doubt, but let’s keep the record straight. JD said no stick rider makes that. Well, neither did CWhite. That’s all I’m saying.

    Hey I’ve got respect for anybody who charges regardless of craft. Do your fins get blown off in a nasty coseout like that or do they stay on? If they get blown off, how fun is it searching for them when more sets are on the way?

    I am turning 49 soon & haven't/don't have any problem with surfers in 40 years of riding in many places around the world. I still ride waves like this today. Be respectful in the water and charge when you get a chance. I have no problem getting waves especially at my home break above. 1st drop in possibly a mistake...2nd you are getting out of the lineup or away from me.

    Yeah dude I feel ya.

    But keeping it real, there's probably only 1 in 100 boggies who are capable of surfing that spot like that.

    I don't think most surfers scoff at guys who charge that hard while they watch from the parking lot, just saying

    Right on, just curious. I have never tried a sponge, not once, don’t even own any fins, so I have no idea about that stuff.

    Hard to tell but I am tucked in on a cold one in December of 2007. Not too many people out that day surfers or bodyboarders. Was my last wave of the day & last one in the water. The wave above is 1/2 the swell size from earlier in the day and pretty makeable if you waited on the sets. There were a lot of people watching on this swell because of the sneaker sets & was COLD!!

    I have another question, does the fins make it easier to get out on a big day vs. paddling a surfboart with arms?
