Huge waves

I know you guys are 3000 miles away but I figured you might get a kick out of seeing what we have to deal with in Norcal.

Break out the long board dewd!

Their down grading it for Sunday. When I first posted the link they were saying 18 to 20 feet.
That's not nearly the biggest I've seen but it's still impressive.

I just love the Jeff Clark story. There was a documentary a while back and I remember being fascinated with the place. Would love to visit someday.

Mavericks is the volumetric wave. Not as big as Wiamea but packs much more volume. It was Eddie Aikau who survived a massive 60ft closeout at Wiamea only to get killed by a much smaller wave at Mavericks (a whole different beast).

A small tribute to Eddie:
