Warm that day?

@ironmonnkey15 The water temp was probably about 70 degrees.

[mytownrulestv]

Yes we know, and good to hear from someone in our sister city.

The real Cardiff is a city in Wales

[mytownrulestv]

@WelshGethRugby In 1911, this former farming community began to develop Cardiff, when developer J. Frank Cullen broke ground to build new homes.[2] It is reported by the Cardiff Chamber of Commerce that it was Frank Cullen's wife, a native of Cardiff, Wales, who persuaded him to name the community, "Cardiff". Many streets in Cardiff bear names this English-born landowner grew up with in his native UK. "Birmingham", "Oxford", "Chesterfield" and "Manchester" are major streets.

@Fatboyswim123 When the shortboard revolution hit surfing in 1968 I was riding a greg noll 9'6''

This was the Time of mini=skirts and shorter surfboards were called miniboards.

During my 40 years riding Hawaii's North shore I rode shorter boards and saw such surfers as

Eddie Aikau, Barry Kanaiapuni, Gerry Lopez. These guys were so stylish and fearless.

I surf like my heroes, and I think Hopping on a tiny board because it is stalling under a

fat guy is hideous. What's wrong with being Gay ?

[guitarsurfer2010]

at 5:12 that guy is so pathetic.

When mini-boarders do that hop thing it is so sad.

ever heard of style ?

@MrErkham Yes, since 1972.

[sewasam]

in my opinion a longboard would be a better choice for those waves just t deal with the mushy shoulders after takeoff... 9 out of 10 people would say im wrong though lol

[NarisTorquere]

15 foot swell transformed into 3-4 foot mush, what a spot.

[sdlocalkid85]

should have filmed to the left, tabletops was way nicer that day, i surfed there for 3 hours in the afternoon and there was so much more ramp to it and even barrels, also it sucked up a lot harder and faster and much longer walled lefts

[me3be3]
