    Yes imagine what 2' at Teahupoo means. Backside wave height measurement is inadequate (even at places like Voodoo on occasion), I prefer the old yardstick of roughly 2/3 to 4/5 of wave face height which is what everyone used in Sydney at least ...a long time ago. I think I'll call it by wave face height from now on, I'll only get it wrong if I exaggerate!

    My Hellfire apparently has made a round trip back to QLD, sent to the wrong shop...maybe next week I'll have it (I am repenting now for the levity in the signature line:-).
    Jesus is coming, look busy!
    Moving forward or just spinning faster?

    Buddy believe me it's worth the waiting!!!!. That board is insanely good!!!.Hold tight, it's coming!!!
    I get confused myself sometimes. 2ft, 5ft...from where??? the front?? the back???. Like better the corporal height chart (head high,waist high etc), gives you a more visual idea
