Whats the biggest wave youve been in

we need this again soon

Same overhead last september, the day it was supposed to build and be really choppy. The paddle out was like ten minets, but the waves were sooo good. The next day was head high and clean.

 

Double O... I passed on the 20-30 footers when I was in Puerto Escondido.

Double O is good enough for me.

 

1-3 OH; I am wimpy

 

Yeah the Double O is plenty big for me too. I was in it for Noel September 2007 i was still pretty new to this sport but still tried my luck up at IRI that day(the 3rd). It was Clean Double Overhead, i went over the falls on a large set...The initial impact was almost like being jumped in an alley! Mind you i was not yet in too good of shape either. My fin got ripped off, i got held down so long i came up seing stars and thinking i was about to die. Then i turn around and an even bigger wave is landing on my head. I thought for sure i was a goner but i somehow made it back up but this time my vision was fading in and out to black. This time my board and leash had been ripped from my arm as well as my other fin(Of course i had fin savers too and my leash tight!) and i had to call my friend to help me in as another landed on my head and i was totally spent and terrified. Even though it was a near death experience, surviving it and being able to witness those waves were enough to stoke me for a long time.

 

Chest to head...

 

mine is 8 feet in obx. heavy barrels

 

2-3 OH and clean SSP last summer....medium period swell so you had time to paddle out....just dont be inside when they come through!!

 

Probably only head high at good-ol' Wrightsville beach, but I 'm reaaaallly eager to up it up this summmer! Knock on wood...

 

Don't you guys know? I'm Mike Parsons!! 80 ft!! wahoo

 

a few feet o head that was when my knee was non injured. so with the knee in the state that its feeling right now maybe stomach high. but hopefully when a head high offshore day come i will go out.

 

1-3 OH Barrels!!!

 

40 ft

I surfed a 40 footer off of Casino Pier in 1989 - it was sick. The barrel was big enough to fit a mobile home and I had about a 60 second tube ride. I was riding a 80's style twin-fin with no leash, old school.

 

ankle to knee and barreling gnarly style.

 

6-8 ft Hanna

 

Double OH Nexpa. Some of the best waves I have ever surfed. I too passed on 15'-20' at Pascuales even though I had a 7'6" pin. Just watching was good enough for me and you better believe there were people out surfing it like it was a head high day for them.

 

Fran was big in 96 I remember super glassy double overhead +SE groundswell waves (sw winds)at the laundrymat in kitty hawk washing across the beach road.Isabel groundswell 2003 frisco NE wind was pretty big too

 

Is it just me or are all Jersey barrels really heavy?

 

triple over head- sat on the beach for 30 mins sayin man its kinda big. finaly i paddled out and pulled into 3 stand up barrels in a row got eaten alive on the last one then i desided to pack it in.
