I cant tell you guys how dangerous it is. you have people that see an opportunity to get a wave and no amount of people in their way is going to stop them.
all common sense goes out the window. sitting out wide will get you almost nothing because someone on the inside will get it without doubt.
so you have to get your hands dirty. last time I went out in something like this I thought I was a goner about 10 times.
trying to get the inside growers ups the ante
I paddled in, this isn't worth it.
on that same swell a week later when it was dropping I got run over by a mal. tore my wetsuit up a cross my shoulder.
cams actually lie how congested it is.
the best bet is small days with sneaky unreported by media swell surges
