well I feel humbled again by your ocean beach. wow. nothing like surfing big waves to get scared. and to think I surf Sunset Beach on O'ahu around similar size. I would call today 10' Hawaiian with solid poundings. I got pounded.

surfed OB tonite. WOW! This place can really dish out some punishment. I am from Hawaii and I must say that OB is similar to North Shore power. Any pointers for a newbie surfer to San Francisco on how to make it outside? I spent a lot of time paddling, not much time riding waves. Aloha.
