LIGHTING???

You are all probably wondering "Is it safe to surf in a thunderstorm?" Here's what I found on the subject from here.

"Is it dangerous to go surfing or wind surfing? Absolutely! Surfing during a thunderstorm means you are placing your life at risk. There is absolutely no protection on a surfboard. Look out for a change in clouds and wind. Head for the shore at the first sign of an imminent thunderstorm. If there is no time left for that you should put down the mast and squat down on the board, feet closely together, arms wrapped around your legs. This situation is extremely dangerous and should be avoided. Being in or even near the water during a thunderstorm is highly dangerous. A strike into the water may be deadly to man up to 90m from the impact. If not deadly at first, it may paralyse and thus cause drowning."

I think you might still be drunk from last night, but if you're not, that is odd

It's been storming since about 2am. I woke up around 4 to watch it from the place I'm staying in the sunset. It's pretty awesome but as duckdive said, it is dangerous to be in the water during a storm. Lightning can strike miles ahead of or behind a storm and water provides and excellent conductor.

Good luck out there today everyone. Be safe.
