Vid: Epic surf in Newport Beach
« on: August 28, 2014, 07:28:55 PM »
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.

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.

From CNN:
Quote
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.
