Foon is correct, there are supposedly just a 3 or 4 places that can produce 100 fters.

Always been fascinated with surfing. Wish I did more of it growing up. Big wave surfing is crazy. Those guys are on another level.

The book I was talking about also has a large chunk devoted to rogue waves and tsunamis. Immensely interesting!

I enjoy watching boats wipe out in the surf.   That what it looks like trying to get out of Deer Stand on Rayburn in a 35 mph north wind.

That’s awesome right there. Yin and Yang. The thrill of the rip curl and the quiet solitude of crappie fishing a deep brush pile.

I have surfed 15 foot waves on a day it got up to close to 20 ft in late spring at Point Mugu. They were steep and hollow. The left was only wave working as the waves grew and I was over my head anyway.
At 20’ only a few surfers were attempting to ride those. Missing a wave that large on a beach break is always dangerous.

Whether you think you can or you can't, you are probably right.

All I know about surfing is when I was a kid I caught a wave at Virginia Beach on a Boogie Board and when I hit the beach I face planted. It looked like my face had been sandblasted... Dan

Teu'poo in Tahiti
Mavericks in Halm Moon Bay, Ca
Jaw / Peahi in Hawaii
Cortez Banks down around Baja. That one is cool because it's about 100 miles off shore. They actually surf a sea mountain top.
Wiamea Bay in Hawaii.
Nazzare' in Portugal
Spreck's outside of Sprecklesville in Hawaii. Laird Hamilton swears there are 125' waves here.
The Right down in Austalia
Shipstern Bluff in Australia - another that's out in the middle of nowhere.
Those are a few of the ones I can remember off the top of my head that I have come across. Can Mavericks and Waimea crank those out? Supposedly there is no heavier waves in the world, like just the mass of the water in the wave, than what they're surfing at Mavericks.

Just out of curiosity since we're talking surfing, for those of you that follow this stuff, where are y'all on Kelly Slater? Is he the GOAT or is he just the highest-level hack that exists in pro surfing?
I mean, he's obviously bada** at what he does, but people seem to be polarized by him. Big waves and league surfing are obviously worlds apart, and I guess that feeds the crowd that thinks he's a hack.
Like I said, just curious.
