Heheh. I heard it was too rough for everybody else but the Apaches thought the water was a little slick. Something about running better with some chop or something.

Also, I didn't watch the cuts in the first video that carefully, but at the beginning it looks like two people, and then it seems like later there are 3 guys with helmets on. Is it spliced from two different days? The later half of the video it seems much more steady than the huge random waves at off angles.

Actually, flagged because all of the rescue boats and helos were occupied, so there was no one to help the next boat that got into trouble. It was rough, though.

What would you guys call those conditions?
Me I'd say big ground swells 5-6 ' with intermittent 8&9,10'ers.
Aka oso 25'ers. .....
Next time you drive down the highway look at a bridge clearance height indicator. A normal overpass is usually 15 or so feet. Now picture that as a big blue wall of water
The lowest power line on a pole is typically 13'6" or so ..... same thing. Stand under it and picture it as a big wall of water.

The video was shot off of South Beach, Miami Beach. People think Miami does not get waves. They are wrong. In fact, some of the best waves in the state of Florida are at South Beach during a strong cold front or tropical storm. It doesn't happen often but when it does South Beach sees some great surfing. Miami Beach is closest to the Gulf Stream and when a strong low moves off the coast of the Carolinas it sends a North Swell that squeezes between the Bahamas and Florida and zeros in at South Beach. You can see Razz running north with South Beach in the background. He's heading into a big northwest groundswell that's peaking up on the outside sandbars and reefs!

Well I didn't rave about the wave size in my buddies video, just that it was funny that it was the next suggested and it had never seen it.
You can keep your super cool really rough stuff you seem to brag about. I will enjoy these small guys that cause no harm down here, just like I will be doing this weekend and New Years since I am still boating this time of year.
