HH - DOH Waves

That top wave wasn't heavily publicized, sure. Any wave like that is publicized like Hurricane Marie. You need to get over yourself, man. People must hate to be around you. I hope you aren't saying that bottom shot is DOH, far from that.

That top shot is probably one of the best swells they have gotten in 20 years.

 

this thread has become a d1k measuring contest,and I am the biggest.have a nice day

 

How is me defending a whole coast, in which I don't live anymore about me? You don't know sh** about California because you have never put in time there, so your opinion means nothing to me on the subject. Why would I care what a "couple guys that live near San Diego that you know" tell you? That whole statement you just made is laughable. You do realize that that top photo was in LA?

Just stop being such a grinch all the time bro. The waves in California are better than jersey, every single year. Nothing you can say will ever change that. And if you think Socal beach breaks only get DOH every 20 years, that is just another example of nonsense. Just because you want something to be true, doesn't mean that it is. Weren't you one that mentioned surfing Pipe once? Hats off to you. Wish I had, but I have not. But I will also not come to you for advice on said break because you have been there once, ya dig?

And as far as people around me? have you ever said anything positive on this site, ever? You are a true debbie downer bro. And if thinking Jersey has classier surf than the west coast lets you sleep at night, then tell yourself whatever you have to. Not my problem. Just go to sleep at night knowing that you are wrong.

 

I think this article needs to be skimmed through again... Please be sure to read the caption on the photo at the header.

Don't hate the player, hate the game. And don't kill the messenger, especially when they are correct.

 

sidenote: NC was fun today. Hopefully it was fun in your neck of the woods too.

 

Not true. California gets over 15s periods on a yearly basis, and i'm talking where the feet is equal to the intervals, say 15 @ 15. On a regular basis. Have you ever even seen a 20 at 20 swell? And the west coast doesnt have to wait for a hurricane to produce such numbers.

 

yeah...so typical that with a major tropical swell coming a local wind swell sneaks under the radar and delivers. The cold front delivered chest to shoulder high south wind swell all day today. I actually got a couple really solid rights this morning and again after work.

 

Man, that sounds like a successful day. This work **** is for the birds.

 

pretty sure Quinoa is country

 

Here in Galveston, we almost never get waves much OH. There was TS Karen a year ago, when the waves traveled 100s of miles and were clean before hitting us. THAT was awesome. For the most part though, the waves are local wind swell. Surfing in 7 - 8' Galveston wind swell can be taking your life into your own hands. When the sets come in, it's like only 4 seconds between waves. If you get caught inside, you ain't makin it out. No you ain't, homes. Just get off your board and rest til the beating is over. Although I usually prefer surfing alone, I will seek out a break with a few other loonies so at least someone knows if I get munched. I remember one big day a couple winters ago. NOBODY was out anywhere. I called my sister and told her where I was going out in case she didn't hear back from me. Wore a bright orange shirt over my wetsuit so the Coast Guard could find me easier. When it gets OH here, it's no joke. Victory at Sea can be fun, but not always... Of course, it builds character.

 

watch, learn, do, fail, watch, learn, do, succeed, watch, learn, do, fail, etc

know your ability and trust your instincts

 

LMFAO! I would love to see your friends. You are the guy who says he surfs and skates. Then, you actually watch him surf skate and it's a joke. Your wave measurement is a joke. You are a joke. You are the biggest BSer on this site and everyone knows it. I would love to surf with you. I know Cali has better waves but you describe it as the mecca. It's nothing compared to Hawaii or Australia, get over it. I surf pipe every year and Kauai every year. I surfed Lajolla reefs and some ****ty spots (HB) in cali for about 5 years. You talk big, but I can't imagine you ever surfing a wave of consequence. You are too soft. Just keep telling stories on this site and making people think you surf big waves. We all believe all your stories.

 

Yes, you probably think Marie happens every year, what a joke. People in cali are laughing at you. Wow, you suck Cali ****, love you long time.

 

Hey. If I was a 4' 6" little effer back in '70, and snapped my board in two during 8 - 9 foot Fla hurricane surf, does that count as DOH? Was to me. WAY over MY head.

 

It's ok. some people suck it. I've surfed cali on reefs and crappy HB at high second interval. I just don't understand how the waves seems less punchy that 10 second NJ beachbreak. It doesn't make sense. I can only think of bathyemtry. Gradual sloping compared to shallow sandbars. It's like comparing Cali power to pipe or off the wall.

 

Paddle down the face of the wave.

Eat and drink whatever you want. Period.

Personally I surf better with a belly full of junk food.

 

I should clarify, i'm from northern california, so that is the coastline i know. It's just as powerful as hawaii, maui anyway. Every winter there will be storms that hit. Just like the islands.

But you are cold, and usually alone, or what ever buddies you could bring. Unless you have company from below. Seals or sharks.

 

Any time any place. Your lack of knowledge is showing. ****ing kook. Since you are such a critic, let's see a wave or two of yours tough guy . "I surf pipe every year bro" and you are talking to me about internet validation. I don't skate. Never have. I will surf circles around you in any ocean on any coastline in any size.

 

Bench off? Zach vs Liam...and/or....Belmar vs Blacks?

Winner to be crowned classiest.

 

I don't ask people to take pictures of me. Photogs probably have me in a few but I never go looking for them. I just surf. I'm not out there to prove anything to anyone but myself. Maybe I have a couple of barrels where you can't see my face. Hmmm! Let me know when you are in NJ and we can put this to rest. I really would love to surf with you and actually see if your surfing backs up all your stories because you have a lot of them.

On another note, this morning was fun. Hope some others got some.
