Done my fair share!
it's so annoying how the waves vanish with 360 cameras. Looks almost flat in the video but I know to look for wave height clues around d the action!
Too true Berowne, that wave was plenty big. The camera height also does not help. I figure its about (2ft deck to water + 6'4 + 1ft camera extension) 9ft off the water and I am not usually at the foot of the wave. So that wave face was probably over head high which is plenty big for my skill level.
The rinse cycle at Kanaha is pretty forgiving as there is not a lip/tube to crush you That said a few seconds, even on a head high wave is long enough
