    Me and my friends from Kansas are signed up for your surf school at Big Rock next year. We are all super stoked. You and Zeke are proof that La Jolla waves are for everyone.

    It's always nice to see the cove breaking. I remember back in 1985 I saw it breaking six times overhead! I headed down there planning to paddle out until I looked at it and then turned around and went back to get my camera. Sadly, I don't know what I ever did with those shots...

      I was just telling my wife about that swell. When people say this was a once in a lifetime swell I say not in my lifetime - I have seen a few. But then again I remember when the HB pier was made of wood, Main St was one way & The Golden Bear still had bands playing. I bet The Frog House in Newport Beach probably still has the picture of a wave breaking OVER the HB pier and taking out The End Cafe. circa 1985

    Best quality backwash sidebar novelty wave I've seen in S.D. is in my local zone in C-bad. Only scored it once though. Backwash that has the potential to offer mini right barrels and diagonals that turn even cross-shore, so you can even ride parallel to the beach not just out-to-sea! 💪💯

    Ben, it's a repost of a poem I created (in part with ChatGPT) a while back.
    I posted it already over on Jamie's blog.
    "Pele - The Fiery Bitch"
    In the heart of Hawaii, where the mountains kiss the sky.
    Lives a goddess named Pele, with a fiery eye.
    She wanted love and respect, from her people, so true,
    But when they didn't listen, her anger grew.
    Pele, the goddess of fire, fierce and bright,
    With her heart ablaze, and her temper's might,
    Oh, Pele, oh, Pele, calm your fiery soul,
    Let's find a way to make your spirit whole.
    She danced upon the molten earth, a fury in her heart,
    The people tried to please her, but it tore them apart,
    The flames of her desires, burned hot and wild,
    They longed for the day when she'd again be mild.
    They sought a wise kahuna, to heal her wounded soul,
    With words and sacred rituals, they tried to make her whole,
    But Pele's temper raged, like the fiery lava's flow,
    They wondered if a psychologist might know.
    Oh, Pele, the goddess, with your fiery might,
    In the depths of your anger, we see your inner fight,
    Perhaps some gentle exercise could ease your soul's unrest,
    To cool the flames of your fury, to bring you peace and rest.
    The people prayed for Pele, in their own special way,
    But she didn't appreciate that middle finger, so she decided to linger.
    Yes, that's right, she decided to linger...

County at all the reefs that were going off, this swell will go down in history as some of the biggest waves we've had in my life time I think the waves that hit New Jersey looked a little scarier then here, Thanks Ben for all your stoke.
