surfing monster Sandy swells in south Florida
« on: October 31, 2012, 12:37:25 PM »
some of the biggest surfable waves I have seen hit Florida in quite a long time. Nice redbull style video with some amazing surfing. Some great tubes around 2:40-3:15.

Where there is wind, there is a wave

My condolences go out to those affected by the carnage of Sandy.  Where are the stand up pics? 
Aloha,

Thanks finsider.  That vid was really great.  Loved the slo mo interlace. 

I've never seen waves like that in Florida before... with perfect offshores?  Wow

Only made it out this Monday.  645am thigh to waist, 745 head high off shore.  I heard Saturday and Sunday was bombing.

@Tom English
I got a few Standup shots at various stages of the "Sandy" swell... they are mingled in the pages of the "Frankenstorm" thread.... North East only... but SUP just the same :)
