Just general surfing stuff

I'm surprised Nick hasn't been jizzing over the massive weekend swell in Hawaii.

I have been, but more suffering POMO, I can't inflict that on people

fcuk there's a funny clip of the skis getting caught out by a massive set at Himalayas (where John was surfing) and trying to do the bolt. One does a v dangerous thing, launches off the lip of the first wave of the set and goes maybe 30 feet in the air...and lands in the midst of all the other skis who'd made it over. Then gets clocked by the second wave. The set is a solid 400,000 kilojoules.

POMO, I'm afraid to ask.

Supposedly Mike Latronic the ski driver

Pain of Missing Out?

Yeah that set looked so full on, I pictured myself caught on the inside looking at it coming down on me. I can’t really get a grasp of how heavy it would be, but I’m assuming you would need to hold your breath for a long time.

Ahem! Real surfers always halve their kilojoule estimates!

[Beanpole]

Hawaiian kilojoules.

That's it

Really you would not ever want to be caught inside by a set like that. It wouldn't matter how fit you were or whatever. When people used to get caught inside by that stuff in the years before skis, they died. Ie Todd Chesser

[foamy]

From the WSL, yesterday at Jaws
Yeah, get me out there so I can paddle into one of those.

Horrendous!

Which makes the fact that Ken Bradshaw, Mark Foo etc used to paddle out there in the 90’s or did they have skis, Nick?

Mark Foo doesn’t say hi

[jimmy]

He died at Mavericks though I think? Not the outer reefs.

[buddy]

Died at Mavericks on a relatively smaller (for Mavs) day.

[jimmy]

I’ll never forget that wave that closed out Waimea and he took it on the head.

[Thud]

Yeh Mavericks on an innocuous wave (for Mavericks)
