hey Mike what was the guesstamite on the size? That is one of the most insane waves I have ever seen...

-PD 'Legalize it' ' Dooooon't criticize it' Crag T. Bagger: Absolutely, without question. Legalize it.

It is a conservative 50 feet.

Could be another 5-10 feet if the wave dips in front of Flea where we cannot see, which is common at Mavericks.

Guys that were out said it there may have been waves near 70 ft Mike Hourly California surf updates www.pacificwaverider.com/36n

At the time, it probably seemed like a good idea when Dave Blake posted

So that's what.... 8'-10' Haw'n?

What blows me away is that for all of those pre-Mavs days, everyone assumed that you had to go the Hawaii for that size and quality. So waves like the one in question came through for decades with no one out (and no one watching, no one filming).

How many riders are out on a day like that? How many catch any waves?

grey wolf asked:

better yet, how many were paddle in vs. tow-in?

Check this out, Noah Johnson. I think it is the biggest on the site.

Apparently a couple guys did paddle out that day and caught a few waves until 'They (the tow in crews) chased us out, basically,' Renneker said. 'I can't even begin to tell you how much it bothers me.'
