The forecast here on the West Coast, specifically in Northern California, has just gone . . . . over the top.

34 feet @ 18 seconds

Anyone want to paddle out?  I can't promise a dry-hair paddle out, but maybe we can get lucky 

[lopezwill]

  Is that the highest surf forecast you've seen at Mavericks?

  Don't you have a new board?

How are you ever going to sleep tonight?  ha ha

Do I want to paddle out?  Hell no!

Be careful.

Please come back and report.

This morning looked like Maui.  As my brother Kai would say "Perfect Maui Glass!"

There's not much of a mountain to make a waterfall?  But enough rain to cause a Rockslide on the trail.  Nothing the electric Phat Bike couldn't leap

And then a surprising hint of color.

Sweet!

Have fun, be safe, take pictures....

I'm going into my seventh full day of gnarly flu symptoms.  At least it doesn't feel like somebody is wiggling a spear in my chest every time I cough, now.

My wife is a very pissed off sick person.  I have never seen her this sick like this in our whole 36 year marriage.

Maybe it's the wave gods' way of keeping me from doing something stoopid.

YIKES! That's a gnarly forecast. Edge of my seat waiting to see what unfolds! Be careful, but like I always say, "Can't be too careful"!

Cheat, I feel your pain.  I'm just now getting over a 20 day battle with this thing.  Did you have bubbling in your lungs?  It's just now clearing up for me.

I don't know, Zoo, but I think it is a "long haul" flu.  I suspect at least 10 to 14 days for symptoms.  Cough is more productive now, my lungs creak, headache and sore throat now.  My brain is so swollen I can't think.  I probably just got my coordination back to 75 percent or so.  I didn't do anything for four days because I was flailing and dropping things like a broken bot. The intensely painful skin and joints have diminished, but I am still getting periodic sweats and chills.

Risks with flu are always longer term, persistent bronchitis.  It's also boring, because it is hard to read or play computer games.

It would be hard to believe there won't be a pretty good body count with this varietal.

It's more like routine misery now rather than intense, painful drudging misery.

It would be nice to keep the appetite suppressant part of it, though.

For you Man Flu guys 

[SUPcheat]

Heh, Heh, you should see my wife's "woman flu".  She's ticked off, no stolid acceptance there.

Holy Tsunami - Highjack!

Don't mean to get away from the forecast, did the flu folks get a flu shot?

[southwesterly]

Maybe this should be in the shitstorm thread.

20-25' faces with deepwater big wave spots more than doubling those sizes.

I just saw a 10 wave set break 300 yards OUTSIDE the Capitola Pier.

Yikes.

Sorry for the HIJACK everyone.  Yes, I got the stupid flu shot and it didn't do a thing on this one.
