Christmas of 83 was insane!  Nothing else in my memory begins to compare to that swell.  But then the 60's and 70's are far to blurry for me to rememeber anything earlier. 

Halloween of 91 was good too, but that Christmas was bigger, and cleaner, even if it was way too heavy and bitter cold to be as fun.  Shame the biggest day of the swell was too dark and overcast for taking picutres.

Sebastian is but a shaddow of its former self, south Ponce inlet is nothing like it use to be and Blow Hole is almost non-existent today.  Even the OBX isn't all that thrilling anymore.  I do think its been a long slow downward turn in east coast surf quality overall for various reasons, but perhaps I just have the bar set too high these days, or maybe I'm just getting old.
