he's at the wave base. It's shot from above, like a cliff or a FCUKING drone.

oh I apparently burned 2228 kilojoules in the pool this morning, how big of a wave am I?

Sure, if you interpret 20' faces as 6'. I support freedom of speech.
i interpret that photo as a 6-foot wave.

solid 4 if i was in hawaii.

It's pretty deceiving, kinda looks like he is half way down it.

He's a bit crouched, so I'm estimating his image is about 5', and I can fit at least 4 of that image between the flat at the base of the wave and the top of the wave. I don't know what the angle is or how far away the picture was taken, so its impossible to correct for that, so I'm still keeping a 20' face as my best estimate. You guys are welcome to your estimates.

I agree, his board is slightly below halfway up the face of the wave.

Looks like a nice 6-8ft day at bells without the girth to scare any punters away.
That could be the elusive 7 footer.

To tell the truth eggs are one thing I avoid buying when I’m grocery shopping. So you may say I’m an intermittent egg buyer who usually lets someone else buy them.

it's a nonsense question.

Cmon godsave. Almost guaranteed Steve would surf rings around you. Shit even I might, less tick tacks of course.

Ah surfing. Pretty much the only sport where adult males will openly challenge each other like male lions on the Serengeti.

It really is a beautiful but stupid past time.

Sounds like a surf-off is brewing.

Steve could do eleven tricks I reckon

1) pop up
2) trim
3) floater
4) cutback (standard not full cranked roundhouse)
5) slash
6) snap
7) barrel
8.) 360 (once in 1989)
9) bottom turn
10) check turns
11) re-entry

I still don't buy the "official" narrative about 9/11. Oh sure, it happened, fcuk yeah. But who and why and how I'm, not convinced it was what we've been told.
