Outside Inlet is make able by paddling in, Although you'll definatly wear the hat a few times. Till you drift a bit south away from the racetrac and more toward the shoulder. The biggest day I ever surf it was the day after "The Perfect Storm" which sent swell 20-25ft along the east coast of Florida. I jumped off the North jetty and paddled my ass off to get to the outside. Once I got there it always seemed like you were too far inside. I was confronted with sets comming in at 15-18ft faces and I'm on a 6'3" thruster. When the swells would come in you could hear them coming (crashing) down coast. They sounded like freight trains. I pretty much sat out there from a good 30-45min just in total awe. I'd never seen Florida that big before let alone waves of that size. I watched a few of my friends go and there I was, I had to pick on off too just to get in. So I took one of those mackers and dropped in w/my toenails gripping my deck. Looking back in shear amazement, then the speed wobbles hit (like a skateboard w/loose trucks) and well. It was time to pratice my UW breathing for a while. Once I pulled that off, I paddled to the mid break and surfed an Epic session on 4-6ft Juciy swell. Thanks for the Memory Rick These are two Fantastic pics of the "Pump House" |
