how big was it that day?

[Quickbeam]

@LittleMurkk Not as big as had been predicted. It seemed to top out on sets at around 8 ft. It had been predicted for 10-12 ft that day but I don't think anyone was terribly disappointed, the conditions were outstanding!

Nice warm water. But the waves "burger" out at the end? Or is that just the tide?

[Quickbeam]

@clarkewi They did kind of cash out in a small zone right up against the pier on both sides, but that made for a very easy lane to paddle out in as you can see in some of the early footage. A heck of a lot better than taking an overhead set on the head!
