8-10 foot swells lack of a deepwater trench offshore and a wide continental shelf is the difference .......piperine.........mashi mash......nice view of Alana....pantios de nui!
"Or just be lazy and lay on a booger board. That way waist high looks DOH." Or just get punched in the face by those same body boarders. Go ahead, walk down that beach and talk smack,.... I double dog dare you
"Ride a wave standing on your feet." You mean like the 95% on this forum that can stand up,.... and that is it?
I hate when I hear from a lot of people that it is "Over head and double over head sets", then when I go down to check the waves it is waist to chest and everyone is screaming how great that bomb was. It's just hilarious, maybe if you are bodyboarding it is double overhead but you'll rarely find something on the east coast that big, yet alone overhead and I hear it at least once a week.
here we go... just cuz one can stand up don't mean one ain't lazy: http://www.surfbagus.org/2007/05/windy_at_threes.html ANYone can get slotted. and stoked. why fight?
"ANYone can get slotted. and stoked. why fight?" that is the point.. I do not condone misguided acts of aggression, i am just saying.. After all these years why has the same attitudes about the different surfing sects continued? For goodness sake, evolve a little. I for one love my legs, knees and ankles, i would much prefer to be able to run 7 miles comfortably, rather then destroy my lower body, which is what I would do/have done stand up surfing. Just me i guess...
xgen, no matter what you do, surfing will always be cooler. there is nothing you can do about it but ditch the sponge! I know this must be hard to understand for you. you've probably tried surfing once or twice and got worked, so you went for the immediate satisfaction of weinerdragging. are you so bitter toward surfing because your weiner hurts from dragging it around all the time?
I don't really understand how a thread that is comparing two different wave scales turns into boogie boarding vs. stand up surfing. Unreal. Thanks xgen for speaking the truth. When are you clowns going to learn that most bodyboarders are probably better than you at stand up. I just watched Colin Herlihy this past weekend kill it on a stand up.. but he is also one of the best drop knee'ers around. Did you even watch the video? Most of it was stand ups.

First leg of the triple crown went down in 8 to 10 with some bigger sets possible,. 12? Watch the whole thing last night, (better part of it) saw the legends heat that was going OFF. once again, real 8 on 10 on average. The Dark Fall Productions are legit for sure, but those were not 8 to 10 feet waves.
"I seriously don't see any form of masculinity in boogie boarding" maybe that is why you need to stand up, so you can "feel" more like a man. This is not Oprah's chair ,..if you are suffering from "low T" they have meds for that now.
8-10 hawaii is and always has been diff scale than every where else our 8-10 is hawaii 4-5 they scale it down its just the way it is....
i'd love to see half of the surfers on here try to make the bottom turn into a barrel on a big wave laying down
