That still happens regularly up here. With how fickle the waves are inside the strait combined with how amazing they are when they work, my ratio is probably 50:50 when it comes to scoring waves vs getting skunked. Although, I do feel like that ratio has gotten much better over the past few years. I feel like I'm getting it more dial and getting better at predicting when waves will be there.
For example, this is a spot just outside of Port Angeles, WA. Which is roughly 80 miles inland from open ocean.

My parents retired 25 years ago near the OBX, so i have surfed there a lot also. My daughter moved to Carlsbad Ca 2 years ago and we visit her 3-4x a year.Surfed most of all San Diego county and Orange county up to Huntington Beach. Been to Hawaii back in late 80's and loved it. Of all the places i have been, i like SoCal the best. Great vibes,waves, food and beer. And rode the biggest wave in Delaware right after a hurricane about 25 years ago.....damm im old . I got boards stashed in 4 states, not even sure how many i really own now. I have had about 10 Toyota trucks/4runners of all gens, but def like the 3rd gen as a all around "surf" vehicle. Now let me go crawl back under my rock........ |
Nice! Glad you posted up. Sounds like a fun surf "career".  I have to agree with you about SoCal.. but I may be a little bias. hah.

Not a surfer, YET!
On vacation by way of Houston, TX in Kauai, HI. This island is beautiful, as the whole state is. We are taking surfing lessons this week, so maybe i'll catch the bug.
In Houston, we are 80 miles from Galveston, Texas, a typical touristy beach island with small waves, not conducive for regular surfing outside a decent swell. I've done SUP a few times, though don't own a board.

Niiice! Have fun out there.
Been to Hawaii once, stayed on the North Shore of Oahu. I was there in October though, so it was prior to any of the major swells. Pipeline was flat. Would've loved to see those waves live.
Someday I'll find my way back again during a peak swell time and experience that.
I love Hawaii.
Enjoy!

Finally got around to building a rack for my storage room. Pretty simple. Not convinced on its longevity as I was hoping the ABS caps would be deeper. May look into a different system, but for now it works and gets them out of my way!
The space below will be for the longer boards as well as my SUP's. Figured they were too heavy to put on that type of rack.

Finally uploading pictures from this day, Nov. 19. I remember we both had waves so I figured I'd upload some from what we got on this side of the country. Lots of lefts. Wish these were shot with a zoom lens but the third and fourth photos give some perspective on size

Beautiful. Amazing how hard it is to have perspective until you see someone on the face. Trying to get out the end of this week/weekend. Report looks decent, but COLD.
