I am stoked on the direction this thread is moving in.
Great images T2!
I just checked the surf forecast for Maui and it said we have some south swell getting in here then I checked the live video cam for the west side and sure enough long pealing lines over there. I'm not expecting much size but it looks like we're surfing today and I sure need it!
East coast is about to get lit up with a long period swell (12s-15s is odd for us on the right coast).... just in time for me to be in Amsterdam on business. woo hoo. I'll probably be able to see the swell while I fly out pf Philly on SEP 6. Gotta get a window seat, or not.
IMHO: Climbing is the act of ascending rock,ice,plastic and any mix of terrain or techniques be it sport or trad on cracks (finger-off width),slab,big wall,free,aid,bouldering,indoor,steep waterfall ice,dry tooling,steep snow,and all the various grades and technical difficulties of each.
IMHO: Surfing is riding waves of any size or condition on any craft or vehicle including long board,short board,body board,body, sail board,kite board,tow-in,outrigger canoe,SUP,or kayak,even jet ski for that matter?
I surfed two sessions of delightful glassy shoulder high south swell yesterday over on the west side. It doesn't sound like much but the waves were frequent and consistent and the lineup was very friendly. Every one got a bunch of waves. I am a little sore and sunburned today but I think I'll drive back over today and check it out again.

RIP Rodney Howard!
Punta San Carlos has lost a good friend and a little bit of history in Rodney Howard but his spirit and good memories will live on for a lifetime with all of his friends and family! Today we had a paddle out at the Bombora in Rodney's honor followed by an epic surf session for well over 30 people! Rodney you are missed by much more people then you'll ever know! Kevin Trejo
For Sale, $200. Want to ride big waves? This is the board. I've ridden 15 footers on this thing. Paddles amazing, hauls ass once your'e up. Need Gas and Food, otherwise I'd be keeping this.
I miss Rodney already. I was shocked to hear that he passed on. I was in Fiji at the time, surfing Cloudbreak. The guys at Punta San Carlos said that it looked hopeless for kiting the day of his memorial paddle out, but late that the day, the wind really came up to 7M weather and the waves were good!
RIP Rodney.
Let us know!
