At least 10-12 ft... The Face is about 20 ft. The tip of his board to his head would be 6ft in vertical height there about..There is that distance again on top of him... and more then that combined below him... Some big balls to paddle into that!
i reckon you surf the face of the wave not the back!!!!! 15+[}:)][}:)][}:)]
you shouda heard the hum around Kuta/Legian that morning
old surf legends, balophiles, mushroom heads
PADANG PADANG thats were its at today boys about 4oclock
apparantly about 70+ took that advice
heaps of chances to catch that wave of a lifetime eh
That wave is insane. It is too big. That is mega big. I don't know how anyone can build themselves up to a level where they can even paddle out there. What an absolute animal. My goodness!
Trigg was going off this morning. Clean, head and a half on the sets and barrels everywhere. Pretty crowded but there were plenty coming through.
My god. Northern beaches were firing today! Just got out. Went slightly north of yelo cafe and it was pumping. Some of the older blokes on longboards were charging too!
OH yeah and:
Ders with 60-70+ good mates but got plenty of good waves worth the trip, a bit full mostly but top turns and cutties are fun. Waves head and a bit on take off to mostly boozie height
60-70!! surely that is a misprint Mocha I can't even imagine what that looks like, had 20 odd at everyone's(SUP and LB) favourite point break at 6.30 this morning and left them to it, how do you even get a wave with that many out?
Crusher i think it may have got better. I managed to beat the wind home for a few hours in the water. I got in just before eleven and it was pretty good but i didnt see it earlier either. It glassed right off for an hour or so too. But i have not been the water for a few weeks so to me it was very nice.
not quite 12-15ft Ulu's but a few from this morning, the LB'er got a heap of waves and was pretty stylish for an old charger (55+)
Great shots. Sadly my boy turned 8 today so had to stay home and dish out goodies..I feel like i missed something good
got out for the dusk session tonight at the end of the road "north of Yella" and still plenty of swell around and shape. Still finding my feet on the 5'10 mini, my old slow fat 6'2" frame stepped off the back of the board a few to many times on the late drops... However I got a couple of old skool down the line speed runs and the boards fast and skatey which put a smile on the dial.
ffingers crossed for light SE in the morning
geez... how many boogers are there?? they seem to come out in force during weekends and school holiday. coincidence much?
Hit the busy beach this morning and although there was some size i really didn't enjoy my self at all. Caught a few nice waves and eventually got my ar-e handed to me on one of the big sets.
But the crew in the water. Honestly a boggy boarder who would call blokes off when he was so deep inside there was no way he was ever going to make it[}:)]
Or the guy would take of the wrong way on the peak and call you off, or even a few young blokes who would block paddle you as you were paddling for waves[}:)]
Really pissed me off and even worse realised my winter fitness is not as good as it needs to be
^^^
You don't expect that sh!t midweek...
I've done a bit of work on my fitness over the last couple of months... despite this, I know that I will be under-done on the bigger days... the paddle out at LBB last Thursday showed me that!!
