Tell me what size are you calling that wave? I wonder if The fin I lost tere in 1973 is still stuck in the rocks? a guy from Florida made a wood fin that we glassed into my boards broken fin box. It worked but hummed like crazy. more adventures from my mis spent youth. |

That's about right and looks like the wind was already on it.
Say hi to George and the family for us out there... Yewww! ------------------------- "Don't count the days, make the days count." -Ali #rydyrstrong |

I'd call that more like 6-8, assuming those guys are in the 6 foot tall range |

That IS 4ft. What about a wave that is over an adults head is 4 ft? ------------------------- Replace turf grass with native plants that don't need irrigation and synthetic fertilizers or chemicals that can go into our waterways and ocean |

I brought the family with me this on this trip and even though they don't surf we are all having a wonderful time. Some physical issues that I'll mention in another post are preventing me from doing as much surfing as I would like, so I'm glad they're here with me to do other things. |

Looking at the dude NOT on the shoulder (the one getting snaked) I'd say 8'+!! I know all the cool kids in the rest of the world call it from the BACK of the wave, but that's alota water movin I'd say!

So many different reference points with calling wave size. How does 4-6 sound. Six foot to me is a good 36 inches over my head. Just be consistant. I have a friend that measures wave very literally. He measures wave face. When he tells me it's six foot, I have a good idea how big it is in my mind.

I, and many of surfing's elite, prefer to reference wave height in relation to the average shoulder height of a male goat.
I would say that wave is three goats high, and would be a lot of fun on a fish! Plus looks like a child in the wash getting snaked so maybe looks bigger? ------------------------- I troll 2L.com to be a better person in real life |

Haha well average height of a male goat is 35" so three goats high is pretty close! ------------------------- I troll 2L.com to be a better person in real life |

LMAO Calling a wave seems to be the opposite of the "Mines bigger than yours" game. The smaller you call it, apparently the cooler you are...
