how big is this (Hawaiian)?

10-15 faces btw mines on the southern scale.

 

kinda surprised the first ten posts didn't say 23 feet

 

**23' Belmar pier shotts have that stuff beat, but only with the shredmachine up.
**The music is akin to fingernails being dragged across a blackboard.
**The water looks tropical.

 

I'm kind of surprised you think 3=10, then again, we are talking Hawaiian scale here.

 

Oh.....Looks like 8 foot HAWAIIN scale.... 10-15

 

Ya know, Hawaiian scale, aka measuring the backside of the wave, is really dumb. After all, does anyone surf the back side of a wave?? How dumb is that?? Dudes, I beseech you, lets be reasonable--measure the wave by its face. Whats next--American chop Sui is now "poi"??

 

i will meet you to fight irl

 

Welcome back, Tard.

 

thx dog

being tard is fun

 

i'm kidding about meeting to fight

my xooter is broke down at waffle house right now

 

it's 2.5 foot on the belmar scale

 

3xoh>>>8-10 HAW>>occasional 20 foot face?

 

Yeah dude, I can only imagine...especially when you go "Scorched Earth" like last time. I only wish I had seen it.

 

If we where on the beach looking at it we would call is 23ft btw... Hawaii would say 10

 

Word. Awesome barrels at the OB! Here in SFla we call that the Wave of The Decade, "solid 12-15 footers (DOH plus with a few rogue cleanup sets TOH)". I always thought the back of the wave measurements were stupid, but if you are in Hawaii, and you get shacked all day err day, why not fu(k with the rest of the world? 20 foot Florida scale = 8-10 foot Hawaiian scale = almost flat Belmar scale = Tsunami for most of ya'll = who cares? if you can surf it its all good, if you can't, no worries, no shame, Buttons said big waves are like small waves if you just look at the part you are on, not the whole thing (he must have been smoking the Puna).

 

Anybody own an 8'6"+ rhino chaser? Those guys are on some BIG guns.

 

go barry.
go barry.

gotta love good ole fashioned american 'horse sense.'

the "hawaiian scale" is why perfectly normal surfers are afraid to tell other surfers how big it is.

how big is it?
its belly button to nipple.
