Dave coming down in 3 more weeks and he's bringing me a wetsuit

in the winter months it's going to be even bigger, but the water obv gets colder

I did live in Hawaii for 6 years and I'm a very capable swimmer and an accomplished boogie boarder.

Used to ride 8-10 footers in Hilo and North Shore, Oahu back in the 90's

oh wait, that was over 20 years ago....I guess I may have 'aged' just a little bit

but no way I am going to pass on huge barrels if they are right outside my front door

the great part of the beach here, is that there is no coral reef. It's a sandy bottom....so at least if you get pitched over the top or wipe out badly, you're just gonna get rolled around in the whitewash...not slammed into the reef
I understand homie.. It's like that in many places around SD too and by all means you should be out there every day.. Beach breaks like that are tough though, esp on boogie when shape is dumpy..

Try to have him bring you a surfboard - something like this will work great for what you want - http://www.costco.com/Wave-Storm-8%2...100098389.html
