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!

I've come from the north down and have run into nice waves.38 Top Gun loved them.had a blast that day.

Yes, that is a great video, particularly the bit with Warpath, I don't think there is any better footage available than that, totally breathtaking! The vid of Razz is pretty awesome as well though....

Try this one for size, if you get board, fast forward to 6.25 and watch it from there.... JH Electric/$ Marine Special, now called Warhorse.

a 41 apache is my dream boat. but i know where i boat it would be the slowest thing around in its class because
the biggest we see on a regular weekend is 2's.

that is what i just don.t understand the attraction of having a large offshore boat on a lake.

If you have never ran some Huge Glassy Swells after a big Cold Front has blown through for a couple days you haven't lived to see the true fun of owning a big offshore.

One of these fronts you speak of was rolling through but being a few miles inland we thought nothing of it. When we got to the pier we though we were in a surf movie. They were absolutely perfect glassy tubes with 3 to 4 feet over the top of your head waves. Never seen anything like it. It was beautiful. I could only imagine the valleys between the waves that were offshore.

Boatme , great video but you can't compare that to the first video of RAZZ running in the ocean . The Chief runs hard but the Razz Apache is cataching serious air . I live in Toronto and boat on lake Ontario and I have nevere aired my flat deck out the way those guys were flying that 41 !
