A nice long left break near Phan Thiet in Vietnam off a jetty. It had good surf every day.
A perfect wave to learn on, and when it had some size it was rad.

It's great to see some activity on this thread lately.
We have been going through a period of messy,squally on shore conditions lately and it hasn't really been all that inviting.
I'm spoiled I guess?
I did have a delightful,glassy well over head session out in front of my place here in Kuau about a week ago.BTW: It's no longer my back yard. It's now my front yard. The place in front of me opened up so I moved.
I broke my finger in a wind surfing session a while back. I was trying to water start in light/fluky wind close in to the rocks. I got caught in the strong current and wound up washing in on the rocks. My finger got f**ked up while trying to hold on to my gear while bouncing through the rock garden. A lot of people went on the rocks that day. In reality I rarely get through a season at Kuau without some sort of injury.
I can surf with no problem but the injury has kept me from wave sailing for fear of re injuring it,especially, in these less than epic conditions.
I thought I would toss in a random image that I took at "Jaws" earlier this season.

Olaf- the last wave in your video is out of control.
No way I thought he'd make it.
Those guys are nutz down there.
Thanks for posting that.
Videos of Shipsterns and other cold water slabs remind me of Gritstone videos.
Totally competent guys making it by the skin on their teeth or providing us viewers with some Grade A carnage.

Sorry to get all mellow on y'all, my pulse is still pounding from the last couple videos, but here's a Brant pushing through the shore break in Edmonds Washington.

It often occurs to me this year or two, surfing has surpassed climbing. It has finally addressed its real questions, the peel is off. Terrific video, that GoPro piece Oman just put up. All-time!! Great piece of music too, amillionbilliondyingsuns: "Plush".
