NW WIND 15 TO 20 KT WITH GUSTS TO 25 KT. WIND WAVES 4 FT. W SWELL 8 FT AT 13 SECONDS...BUILDING TO NW 10 FT AT 13 SECONDS IN THE AFTERNOON.

Cranking squared...

Both the surf and the surfer in this pic...

Somewhere in Australia if I recall...

If I could even sack up to ride a wave this big anymore...

I probably wouldn't be cranking a bottom turn just beyond the lip's impact point...

More likely trying to stay as far ahead of the curtain as I could...

But we aint immortal, are we?
I have more aches and pains from surfing 4 foot slop than I did from going over the falls at Backdoor back in the day.
Well, any day on this side of the dirt is good...; 10:00 AM
