Best ride of your life?

You set yourself up for this one.


Your mom.

 

That was funny!

I would have to say the swell we got in vb from hurricane bertha. Dawn patrolled it at Croatnam, and flat out got the deepest barrel I've ever had. Completely covered with about 4 feet of curtain in front of me, glass Coke bottle green, warm water, and the sun refracting through the wave, non close out. Most beautiful toob I've ever scored.

 

My first ride... Still remember it like it was yesterday

Big mistake. Now I can't get the song out of my head.

 

you beat me to it....

 

caught an all-crystal tunnel on an unknopwn reef off an island called dog in the clear-water bahamas.

 

I'll play-
It was a cold November Noreaster swell a few years ago. I went out on a 11' SUP. I caught a bomb outside at a no-named (for you sensitive locals) point break, but way farther out than the predictable take off. The wave was at least 4-5' over my head as I made my bottom turn and started lining up the backdoor section. No one was around. The wave feathered over my head, not a barrel, but a big vertical face, and then a blast of energy as I was hurtled into the shoulder, where I made a big cutback and then jammed it all the way past the inside, where the longboarders and shortboarders and boogieboarders were lined up. A sick wave fur sure. And then on the paddle back out, I got caught by a massive 3-wave set, scraping over the first 2, and then getting slammed (while paddling back out) by the 3rd wave. Which resulted in a snapped leash, sup busted into 2 pieces (later to be ripped into 3 pieces on the inside). And all this followed by a long ass swim to get back in- holding my paddle and side stroking into the 6' closeout inside section where I took a proper thrashing until I finally made it to the beach. Needless to say, that was it for my sup attempts.

 

Dominical CR '95. Caught an overhead wave wayyyyyyy outside. Went left, across the rivermouth, when it closed out, I blasted off the foam, went right, back across the river, and then belly whopped it to the beach. The wife had a Canon, got 12 shots on that ride. no auto forward.

 

pics or it didnt happen

 

haven't had it yet

 

Too many to remember, it seems to happen almost every to every other session when the waves are good. Nothing like the bombs I've caught down in Rincon though, those are all-time, so it would probably have to be Maria's, where I have gotten some of the best rides of my life. Several at home too that are amazing in their own right, but something about that Caribbean juice!

 

Parking lots, rincon late april 2013, 6ft @16 secs 12/14 ft sets caught a bomb outside, the drop was amazing, flying down the line pure bliss.

 

Big Rock, December 1985. Paddled out with 1 bud and 1 tag-along kook, only 2 other guys out. Warm and sunny, pushing about 2'-3' out of the west, tide pushing in.

After about 30-45 minutes, jumped up to a solid 5' with a little tide push. A few waves earlier, probably got the one of the deepest tubes of my life after cutting off the kook...and it still wasn't as good as the wave to follow.

Took off on the last wave of a 4-wave set, a solid 7'-8' face...it jacked in front of the exposed reef into a double-cornice wall. I free-fell all the way to the bottom and landed flat on the trough with a huge "thud". The wave sucked up off the ledge and hurled out over me as I watched a wall of spinning seaweed explode onto the shallow reef in front of me.

Made it to the shoulder and casually pulled out. Not the biggest, but the best wave ever.

 

reported, when will this imbecile learn?

 

Your mom and sister at the same time.

 

Oh man, I had mine earlier today, I was sitting a little bit outside, waiting for one of the bombs, when a F$cking p()ssy sup paddles right the frig in front of me and wife as we are about to drop in on set wave. Totally blocks me, wife gets wave. I was mild , said THANKS!!! Kook comes back later and asks me what i said. Stated THANKS!!! Hr proceeds to tell me i need to be aware of other people in water. I call him a prick and tell him to learn some etiqite. He tells me to shut it, i call him a fudging douchebag...comes back after snother wave and passively aggressively splashes me after he is 2/3 yds past me... I call him out telling him hr is a f@cking p&ssy douchebag... He keeps paddling... Merry christmas
