    Sunset Guns

    That'll grab you a big west peak from way outside! Rode a longboard Friday afternoon at Sunset, no leash, there were a couple legit 6 footers, super fun, great direction, barely any wind. I got cleaned up at one point and had to swim in to Vals to retrieve my board (lucky) but I managed to get...

    So nuts. 29er? Love that there is no music, just freewheel and tires. :jamon:

    The phrase "tilting at windmills" comes to mind

    Your amp doesn't go to 11?

    Sunset Guns

    No, 6' in Hawaii is double overhead, whereas 6' in California is... rare.

    Mel passed away, but Clark still rips it and so does his son.

    You seem unusually eager to chime in on a thread you have no real practical knowledge about. I mean, maybe you'd blow everyone in the Sunset lineup away straight off the plane, but I'm skeptical.

    What a bunch of sentimental bullshit! Why don't you all go blow donkeys for wooden nickels!

    Gliders....

    Gliders are so awesome, but they are really made for surf-along-the-way paddle missions. Haggerty's to Lunada, Westward to Paradise Cove, Zeros to Broad Beach, County Line to Zeros, that kind of stuff. I can see why Skip Frye was in such heaven surfing all those reefs in SD on one, you could...

    Sunset Guns

    I ride a shortboard up to double overhead. But the difference between a 4' wave (couple feet overhead) and a 6' wave (straight up DOH) is huge at Sunset. The difference between an 8' wave and a 10' wave seems waaaaaay more than 2'. 12' waves are straight up scary, and when it moves out to the...

    When did the lineups get so crowded?

    Been lots of "close calls" reported in the last two weeks. Bump bump :shark:I hate Sharktober

    Sunset Guns

    If you are really intent on pushing it at Sunset on big winter swells and you are not familiar with the wave, don't go less than 8'0" and go thick. You will be in survival mode for the first several surfs, just trying to get from the peak to the channel. No shame in that. It's pretty heavy. Koa...

    Sunset Guns

    When it's 10-12' and windy and a good deal of west and 60 guys out, you won't get a single wave on anything less. Stare down a proper 12 footer with wind coming up the face and that 9'0" isn't gonna feel so big...

    I haven't surfed with a leash in a few months. Makes everything better.
