    if you believe that ur stupid. they're wrong only expect like 3-5 foot. this storm isnt going to cause swells like hurricane bill did eit. and sewll info was way of down in delaware for the wave heights and conditions. it was double to triple over head and clean sunday and it was like over head with slight chop. no one can predict the swells correctly.

    Where did the original post say the weather channel forecasted anything? All they said was that someone can surf waves up to 70ft. Slow down and read. :p

    There will be potentially be a few 70 foot waves on the west coast this winter if everything goes well. Its looking like the el nino year of 98. Ghost trees should have a few 50ft + days. And thor's hammer and killers should max out around 60-70 feet if all goes well down at Todos.I will maybe drive down south of the border and take a boat out to get some pictures. I will not have anything to do with a wave like that though. I surfed it at around 15 feet and its super sketchy. Greg long and Ian Walsh and them are on that spot every time it breaks.

    i was simply posting it for comedic value. And to skim surf shred, it appears that i am not the stupid one here. I never said it was going to be 70' around here. Hopefully its 4 foot. lets all pray

    It's always at least head high on a bodyboard. I'd say this last Bill swell was 5-6 times overhead. You can send check payable to:
