Insane.
What it takes to get a rush when you have already ridden 60 foot waves?

And the last section of this vid (as they go from San Fran north) is a spot on the Central OR coast.
Dry reef barrels.

Nice, we do that in Michigan all the time... well not really.

That's wild to hear that guy talk about how he doesn't get an adrenaline rush anymore... what a junky!

Check out this video... real or not?

Tom Morey made something called a 'wave cannon' that shoots enormous bursts of compressed air into a body of water. It is like a barge with compressed air in tanks all over it.
The air blasts into the water and creates a wave about 3 feet tall.

I have not seen that RING cannon surfing setup.
Amazing.

Hey G did you catch where that ring was being built?

Gman · Since 11 Feb 2006 4911 Posts Portland Unstrapped

think it said Hemet, California

That is actually a really good idea for placement.
Really hot year round and pretty much nothing out there in Hemet.
But they did just build a new reservoir so that should help with water supply.
