Typhoon Lagoon GOING OFF!

to bad it doesn't barrel.

 

I noticed one dude had a leash. Is that required or just a habit.. it's not like you'll have to chase your board down the beach. I guess it might save your board from getting seriously dinged if it gets away and careens into the concrete pool edges.

 

Hell yeah I've driven 2 hours as well to surf less. I'd be all over that chit!

 

why would there be a leash rule? dont you rent that thing out for yourself? Or do you share it?

 

If I was rich and lived close to that I would book 3 sessions a week. That wave looks much better than the majority of waves I paddle out in.

 

I'd give it a go. Looks pretty good compared to what we've had here for the past (how many now?) several weeks.

 

U think they'd let you acid drop off the railing into the wave? Or off the stairs?

Looks epic compared to the 2+ weeks of powerless flat to knee high waves we've had in Jacksonville. With a group of ten people it'd be $140 each for their share of 100 waves. Perhaps a Florida Swellinfo group could be organized if this persists? No Wayne tho

 

to bad it does not gun barrel.
why would there be a lead rule? don't you lease that factor out for yourself? Or do you discuss it?

 

Did someone say acid drop? Takes me back to the 80's and to thrasher magazine. I might be down for a lagoon sesh. It's been hard times in JAX lately.

 

It's mush but it would be fun as hell on the right board.

 

Yeah...

Acid drop=riding off a ledge into the ramp
Bomb drop=jumping into ramp from standing position with board in hand.

But yeah, jumping off the railing into the wave would be sick. Impending dentage/dingage no doubt.

Lagoon looks fun, $140 each for locals to bust a flat spell kind of makes sense. But lets say you do that twice in a summer... cost is getting dangerously close to a ticket to Nica or PR, no?

Would you rather have 3 Typhoon lagoon sessions in a flattish summer, or one weekend in Nica/PR?

 

Slightly mushy in some sections, but over all, looks like a fun wave

 

a few friends went earlier this summer. they took this video. http://vimeo.com/91574864

 

depends on who you go with

 

Metard, i'd surf there everyday! LOL
