A Query-Biggest Wave Ridden on the EC

Yea and a heavy as well!

As you mentioned- the color of the water .... with all that sand mixed in there making it super heavy as well

Crazy...

Was it one of those guys that do step offs that clown face used to complain about??

 

Yep, Colin & Raven.

Colin just put out a new video of a swell last winter in OCMD that has sick waves & editing. Not the biggest swell ridden but some solid waves & good riding in the video.

crazy pic I'm amazed at seeing some of these photos how big the surf is here in nj.i have yet to witness or surf such waves here.biggest I saw was bill.

I have a pic on my phone from someone on ig don't recall what year,i think it was seth staffords photo but it was a clean hollow barrel about this size

I heard RCs in Satellite Beach is rideable during giant swell, but the paddle out is brutal.

Pumphouse has too much sand nowdays to break right, but that may change after this weekend. Iv'e seen my buddy Frog paddle into 30 foot faces there solo while everyone else was surfing Reef Road at TOH plus. Looking north at a tiny ant riding down a pyramid, we knew a clean up set was soon to hit on the other side of the inlet, where we were in the lineup waiting for the goods.

 

Hurricane Sandy Pumphouse

 

In the late 70's and early 80's it was more of a backdoor right. You'd sit off the jetty and it would horseshoe in, and there would be a 3 foot wide takeoff slot, otherwise you'd get pitched or it would pass you. And you had to kick out at the end or you would get annihilated. The left was called Hot Rocks, and a couple dudes got airlifted after ending up on them.

That was fun. Now it's fun remembering. The hell with that, give me a slow 8 footer with a sandy bottom. LOL

 

its crazy how it works,u guys got like a 100 year swell while up north we got disaster lol.just the way it goes

 

must be eight hundred years old because we paddled into many swells bigger than that in a few dayz youze guyz might get the bombers and we get the slap this time thats life but id rather be with friends and fambily and eat it than get landlocked and dusty and crusty; so life is full of choices when you live by the sea be prepared to get wet ive got snacks and supplies surrounded by allies lol.just the way it goes

 

Great pic. What it doesnt show is the absolute beating he took on that wave. It unloaded right on top of him. Crazy stuff. Never been more impressed.

In recent memory, it was probably in Cape May back in 09. I did some travelling around that time too. Had some pretty big sized ones in Puerto Escondido and Central America. By pretty big, I mean like 12-14 feet. I've been in 16-ish foot ones, but I don't think I had much like surfing them LOL.

 

To think that's FL, just insane!

 

one of these days I have to dig out my old surfing dvds and find the one with cj hobgood,matt kechele and baron knowlton surfing pumphouse and grab some screen shots,the waves were literally 3x the size of that sandy wave

 

no they weren't.. There has literally never been waves (on the E.C.) 3x the size of what Pumphouse was during Sandy

 

How is that even possible!???

 

its crazy this is the only thing I could find on the video let alone a damn clip.i looked for it yesterday but I think its buried in the attic which means it will never be found lol.it appears to be 2004 so whatever hurricanes happened then I do not know.they were towing reef rd btw,not paddling,waves were like 20' below sea level just draining like chopes.i hope one day I have enough time to find it

 

I would love to see it if you find it.

Here is the video, wave size is questionable compared to Hurricane Sandy, but a good film just the same.
