    Thats the boost you need to keep surfing. I was about to quit surfing and then i got a massive open face wave and thats what got me surfing 3 times a week for the next 5 years

    Back in 60's-70s aka Ray Bay you could pickup a wave off the left jetty and ride it all the way right one. Then the city or state would dredge it and screw it up for a couple of years.
