Does anyone know of any cams in LC that will show this? I was hoping the Road's End cam would be sufficient, but the last time it was refreshed was yesterday evening.

You should have seen it today at Honolua Bay! Holy crap! They make it look easy. We drove down to Ho'okipa afterwards to see that spot and it was just as big and knarly, only no sufers.

It was pretty funny, We were talking to one of the competitors from Hawaii and we asked him how big the waves really were. He said "25 foot Hawaiian style so what it that in Oregon about 40 footers"? I immediately told him 10 foot. We all got a big belly laugh about that one.

What a great group of athletes! All of them were so humble and happy to interact with us mere mortals.

There is only one way to watch this event and that is first hand with a good pair of binoculars. Film and pictures does not quite depict the real power and size of these waves.

Suggestions for those interested in seeing it next year. Bring some sort of viewing platform. A couple saw horses and a sturdy piece of wood that you can put a chair on would be the ticket. Get a real good pair of high power image stabilized binoculars and a monopod.

What a great day overall. Wearing a T-shirt at the Oregon coast in November didn't hurt at all....... Razz
