looks like id have to take my small board out there... my big board is 10'03" and is for slaying giants, but only warm water giants that is... looks like they are prob. doing toe-surfing in that pic koolback (small surfboard towed in by a jet ski) i might get some of that action tomorrow. waves are gonna max out at 30'+, ill try to get some pics... later all :twisted:

Insane localboy! And I thot being a cop was dangerous.....

Yeah, there were indeed towed out by jetskis....so this is a LITTLE wave? Damn doood......

In May I will happily sit on the beach and guard the cooler - I AM good for something!!

yah thats a big wave, about ten feet hawaiian in size, 20+ faces. i havent had the time to surf that size for awhile, sold the jetski before i had my son, but i will get some bigger waves this winter... :twisted:

surfers speak an entirely different language...

yeah, that's pretty sweet KB, toe-in is beyond my abilities. Lol, not even sure if I'd want to ever do it. wiping out on a 30ft+ wave would not be nice!!
anyway, in Ireland we don't really get many waves that big & we laugh(enviously) at warm water surfers!!

Here's a nice clip of some toe-surfing off the cliff of Moher in Ireland(biggest wave in Ireland)

Sweet clip! That looks like a blast!

You crazy flippin zekes! There is nothing in the world that would get me out there, I shite you not.

Absolutely beautiful there Villains...rough landing if they surf that baby all the way in...LOL!!! It looked like the first guy got a running start at the wave with the jetski...interesting....after that do they hang out and ride like normal or do they always get the "tow (toe?)-in"?

I had several bad experiences with water as a kid so am NOT comfortable with it......

Thanks for the video clip Villains...again, beautiful country - totallly cool to WATCH!

Like I said before Wick, I'll supply the beer and the security guard - maybe get some video of you "sittin on top of the world"!!!!!!

ps - we used to love to body surf at Brenneke before the last hurrican destroyed it years ago....now THAT was fun and about the most extreme I will ever get in the ocean.....came up bleeding and battered a few times over the years :wink:

Yo Max... If you like the idea of skiing, and you live anywhere near snow..., Check out local groups and learn to use a Mono-Ski! I teach challenged kids to use them here in the states and I am told it is one of the greatest times to be had in a chair! Here one of our biggest groups is called Challenge Mountain. I would be willing to bet they have a web site.

by **KoolBak** on Mon Dec 11, 2006 12:31 pm

heavy sigh...Hiiiiiiiiii Max........I voted that it was good (for the site) to have you back; dont make me regret it :twisted:

Take care little one----

Duh....

It is very much the same however the water is in a slightly different state. From answers like that however I would be happy to strap you to a mono ski and and pull you behind a jet ski into a tall wave...

I may have to change my vote too Kool!
