big waves >> maxed out ?

the excitement of the previous day was tempered by the rain, the very strong wind, feeling tired and cold, not to mention anxiety caused by the forthcoming week. so we didn't travel very far to check the waves relying instead on photographic feeds from surf98 team members. just have a look at the picture of South Fistral, Cornwall provided by moby. the beaches near me were very similar to that. that is the thing that makes surfing so difficult to follow. you don't just turn up and surf. the conditions have to be right it will normally take all day. have another look at the picture and imagine trying to paddle through all that white water.
