Great day. I got out for a little bit between competition sets. Waves were ruthless. Waves were nice in the morning but small. Then in turned into a washing machine up front with big stuff in the back. 12-15 foot waves. Problem was the Pros were done when it got bit. Most of the Amateurs did not get back to the clean stuff. Then the tide came in and washed the entire beach out. Hung with tons of great people. Great to meat most everybody finally.

Met Matt. Great guy. Spent some time with him throughout the day and at dinner. He is having a great time. Pulled some great back flips today. Don't worry. Us redheads are sticking together.

Good day. Matt's ski took a crap in the Comp. Looks like a rebuild over the winter. Which sucks for him. But some huge surf and Darin Anderson, Pier Maxent and a few others went Huge!!!! Looking forward to the finals tomorrow.

It wasn't the tide. It was the biggest sneaker wave anyone remembers. I was talking to Shoughrider right at the waters edge. Saw it coming and ran up the beach. Had a couple SJs knock me down and one sucker punched my right calf. I'm limping less today. My cell phone is toast.

Those sneakers are a biatch. Glad you are ok. See you at the Nestucca Lodge tonight? We are doing Mexican again about 6 then over to the lodge for drinks. You should come out. It will be fun and there will be single toothless local girls for all.
Surf was off the hook yesterday and today. The very far backset probably had 20ft faces, and the near-shore stuff was a huge washing machine.
The riders did the best they could, there was some good stuff to be seen. However, quite a few got rolled a few times by whitewater and had to swim or get towed in. Seems inevitable in those conditions.
The competition got shut down early yesterday and today, due to conditions.

Way to go to all the riders. Hope there wasn't much carnage to go along with the epic waves everyone keeps talking about.

I was busy shooting video. It will take a while to process but will be worth it.

I'm completely exhausted but found enough energy to put up a clip. When Friday's 3:20PM huge sneaker wave hit I was run over by two superjets. Motorhead is whining about getting hit by one ski! :smile: I am still limping a little.
The clip is the Pro Finals of Ross Champion and Mike Serlin. Unfortunately the announcer said Ross was in yellow which was wrong. I was planning on keeping the video cam on Ross but it was Mike. Don't say should have seen his boat. You can't see the boats through the viewfinder. It is still rather entertaining watching what is mostly the "loser". There is also the fun of trying to get the guy next to you to STFU so the announcer can be heard. There are other videos of Ross on his earlier rounds I will get to later.
Ross and Mike
There is lots of amazing stuff to come.
