That's what I keep telling those east coast boys. 4 to 6 in the gulf isn't like 4 to 6 rollers in the Atlantic. Ours are spaced about 4 feet apart and don't get a consistent set to them, unlike the Atlantic where they may be thirty feet between swells.

That freak'n epoxy must be mixed with magic dust ! All I know is if these guys show at SOTW and it's kick'n, I'll probably just leave mine on the trailer so I don't get in their way

BTW I've personally never had any fun (at speed) in water over a legitimate 5'- 6' cause everytime I get it on top here comes a BIG ONE ( or hole) to remind me who's boss

Ahem.
I'm not trying to stir up trouble, BUT . .
I think more like 3-4's. But steep and close together. And some holes for good measure.
MAYBE a 5 footer in the mouth of the inlets in Venice and New Pass.

Well, I guess it's in the eye of the beholder.
I loved the old race days, when the reports would always say the waves were a couple of feet more than they actually were. And the lap speeds were always 5-10 mph faster than the boats actually went, because the courses were set shorter than was listed.
No doubt it was ROUGH!
