David, welcome aboard. It is good to see you here. A junior member is someone who has posted less than 6 messages. You are on your way to earning "member" status quickly. BTW, how is your surf diva bride?

Just tonite we were showing photos of our cruise to friends, and she had to tell the story of riding the board in. She and I truly enjoyed our time with you that day, and hope to repeat it one day. Now she sees news, such as the killer waves in Hawaii this past weekend, aand she wonders if you hopped a plane there...
Funny you mention that. The same swell was going to pound San Diego and the forcast was for double overhead + surf. The media picked up on it, so on Saturday all of the local channels were at the beach reporting on the "massive killer surf".
The only problem was that the swell never materialized. I have surfed Swamis every day since last Wednesday and the largest sets I have seen were about 6'. Just goes to show that you can't trust the media....VBG.
