Still go with the V. And the guys mentioned are the ones who've gotten press thus far behind the sticks. There are some shining stars in the JV lineup.
Absolutely no disrespect to my friends mentioned on the list.

thats a wave breaking on a beach, theres a different look to a 8 to 10 foot wave out on the ocean there not curling over straight up as they break on shore as they get straight up from the sudden shallow beach when your offshore they have say a 45 to 60 degree maybe more or less of attack you now that
so the wave is 10ft top to bottom but angle is different from a wave breaking on land waterboy

. Wave ht is measured from crest to trough in the open ocean. a 4' vertical wave is 4' ABOVE AND 4' BELOW sea level.... that means an 8 FOOT WALL. ASG and I came back to Ft. Laud in his 38 TG a few years ago in 4-6's (8 to 12' walls). That boat is a beast. When we slowe doen inside Port Everglades (Laud) the rub rails were kinked out 4" at the helm both sides. THATS HOW MUCH FLEX AND TORTURE THE HULL TOOK DURING THAT 30 MILE RUN. That being said our avg speed was 68.something mph

dollabill I have seen waves say 3 to 5ft on top of 20ft swells swells so if a trough of a wave is on top or the middle of a gaint 20ft swell thats not sea level to me. what your talking about to is if your running in 4 footers and every 6 waves a hole opens up now you are in hole minus sea level is that watch cha mean. other this summer I will walk off the beach with my carpet tape measure its a good one doesn't flex at 7' wholed my breath have someone on the beach to help measure waves coming to see if the trough is always below sea level. ps I can hold my breath for a whole bunch WaterBoy OUT! aka artie farty oops.

WTF are you guys talking about? . Wave ht is measured from crest to trough in the open ocean. a 4' vertical wave is 4' ABOVE AND 4' BELOW sea level.... that means an 8 FOOT WALL.

Wave Anatomy:
Still-Water Line - The level of the sea surface if it were perfectly calm and flat.
Crest - The highest point on the wave above the still-water line.
Trough - The lowest point on the wave below the still-water line.
Wave Height - The vertical distance between crest and trough.
Wavelength - The horizontal distance between successive crests or troughs.
Wave Period - The time it takes for one complete wave to pass a particular point.
Wave Frequency - The number of waves that pass a particular point in a given time period.
Amplitude - One-half the wave height or the distance from either the crest or the trough to the still-water line.
Depth - the distance from the ocean bottom to the still-water line.
Direction of Propagation - the direction in which a wave is travelling.
End of lesson!!!!!!!!!
