The reality of my life that is I would be happy with that wind profile....which probably matches today very closely.

But i'm stuck at work until 1/2 before dark, and this is the current cam....looks at least head high.

What would I rig? ANYTHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

despite the space suit requirement, i'd have to quit my job for those conditions right now.

5.8 sail and 105 liter exo-wave. sure, it'll be way too much at times, but agreed, anything for that kinda set up. sucks to have to work for a living.

I now realize that the title of my post could be inflammatory

To be clear, I was talking about MPH, and not the age of any prospective girlfriend/boyfriend

That was Rad Brad with a 5.0
It WAS 16-32

Alright 12-27

So much fun and work....The outs were like running fiull tilt into the back of a dump truck....at 45 degrees offshore. Space between sets most of the time....

The waves had punch/dump. I had a complete Europin separation while fully clicked/engaged......Granted the base is maybe 4 years old....never saw that before, but I'm glad it happened or the mast would have been in 4 or 5 pieces Everthing survived. I'm gonna replace.

Winter sandbars dredge around here.... The whitewater in the second shot is only like 10" deep, but true overhead+ just 10 yards in front of it...My fin is like 9.99"....

And there WAS a cute 32 year old surfer girl in a 5/4, hanging right at the pitchout....end of ride place

I had a hunch that was Rad Brad, but now I'm curious as to how you obtained the details in the last line: was it when you were backstroking gracefully by on the way to collect your gear or was it more like siting a unicorn?

Zep, What the girl?
She was parked on the lip waiting for a left, and kind of blocked me about three times.... so i would just kick out and we would smile at each other.
I was totally fine with that, but I don't think she realized what i was giving up for her....If it was a dude i would have pitched and died on the dry sand.

BTW, i do not like watching surf/windsurf porn. it tempts me to sell my business, and move to some place really great to sail until the money runs out....
