    Hell yeah! Now that is how you celebrate Christmas. Fingers crossed for late February or early March arrival.

    It was SUPER high tide, too. I was surprised I even caught ONE wave! But that was my Christmas gift 🙂

      Wish it were more of a “show.” That was an embarrassingly small wave!

    How cool! Thanks for posting this Cat! we watched the Pipemasters and I just can’t even imagine what that feels like. I know your wave was little but it still looked like fun. That is probably as close as I will ever get to know what that feels like so thank you so much for sharing!

    I’ve never been on a surfboard or had any idea how it was done, I mean when and how to get into a standing position. Loved it! Thanks for the gift of surf.
