Vid: Epic surf in Newport Beach

[Zooport]

I was standing there when this shot was taken at Newport Point (not really much of a point) near my house.  It was feakin macking out there!  The surf was too much for me, but it was a pleasure to watch.  I guess there were a few pros out there.  Took vid of what I think is the same wave using my iPhone, but, as you could guess, the surfer was so small that you couldn't really see much.

That's awesome.
Who is the Sup Guy out there?

Ralph--That was a quick catch.  I had to watch twice to see it.
On Wed. Dave Manning said that Daniel Hughes was out.  I think his brother was out too.  So, I'm thinking either of them.

That's awesome.
Who is the Sup Guy out there?

Why, that was you, I'm sure!

From CNN:

A bodyboarder rides a wave at the wedge in Newport Beach, California, on Wednesday, August 27. Southern California beachgoers experienced higher than normal surf, brought on by Hurricane Marie off the coast of Mexico.

I guess my only question is why.

Because it's there.
