Speaking of big waves SP - what size board would yo ride out here

Swellnet: How big is it forecast to get on Monday?
The swell looks pretty big Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. Sunday looks like it could get up to around 80 foot and Monday and Tuesday look like it could get up to the 100 foot mark.
No doubt about it, it looks big. But what about those winds?
It looks like there is going to be a fair bit of wind with a few moments of light winds. We'll have to watch carefully and choose when we go out.
So no matter what, you reckon you'll get a go out?
We're definitely planning to go out there and give it a crack as that's what we're here for. But obviously if the winds are way too strong and the ocean is mess, well, riding 100 footers will have to be put on hold.
What board will you'll ride?
We have a board designed by Jarryd and Chapstar surfboards. It's a 5"11 tow board with more thickness then your average tow board. We thought we would do something different to eliminate the chops down the wave and it seems to be working. The board weighs about 12 kilos with all the weights on it.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say **** that...there is no way I would want to be anywhere near that place...not only is a unpredictable closeout if you do ride and giant one and don't make it to the channel Laird will get on teh internet and call you a kook

I thought a couple of his more standard off the tops were more impressive to be fair. No doubting his commitment or knowledge of those waves he was pulling into. You get a good smack when you farrrrk those up. Boy has big balls and a really nice top turn. His tube riding skills are top notch - ultra casual.

Thinking about your quiver now Mac?

I think this bit about sanded and polished hulls may be correct, I never finished that home made board of mine fully because I did not think it would ever work.

Yesterday I gave the bottom finer wet sand and then a polish and I'm sure when I took her out in the arvo she was faster.

I left the top as is because it holds wax really well.

An easy and quick way to clean/ polish the bottom of a board is apply truck wash undiluted.

Yeah pretty sad news. When he posted that pic of himself last month it freaked me out. Full legend in the big stuff. He was the man for a long while there.

With respect he didn't look well in that first pic he posted and I wondered how long he had left. He posted his last pic yesterday and I noticed JOB's comment about wanting to see him. I kind of thought the end was near.
I recall that Waimea contest he was in in the late 80's.
He carved it up at 20-25 ft. That was the biggest wave around back then. RIP

Don't look at me, I didn't do it

I can account for every second of my time when the incidents occurred.

And this ice pick I'm holding is just for dislodging a particularly tenacious booger i have lodged in my left nostril

if you watch that vid a few times its clear what the problem was..........the wave never broke. The reason it never broke was that they both had pink boards. Simple. If not the wave would have peaked nicely and they could have each gone there own way
