NELSCOTT REEF 08'


I went to the Big show yesterday. It was huge. I saw some of the biggest waves I have ever seen. Unfortunately, my tow partner was droppin' in on some bombs at Mavericks and couldn't make the trip...
Fortunately, the conditions were perfect up here, and the contest venue has some great vantage points to check out the surf. It was interesting to see the effect of some really long period swell, 14 ft. at 20 seconds. We are normally accustomed to 14 ft. at 12 seconds, which is not very impressive. I am not sure who won or who was even surfing at any given point, but the whole spectacle was pretty damn cool.
