what do we call logo high now, 2/3 high?

You have a lot of time to think when you end up driving close to 3000kms in 9 days looking for wind on the coast.

Some of the bombs on the outside at Flo where what would have been called logo high, I called them near mast high in my log. So can we still call it logo high, because most new sails don't have the logo 2/3s up but some where around head height or near the middle of the sail, so wtf do we call it?

280....9'

I figured always the logo was 3/4 way up.... 10'

the bombs are kinda inconsequential til you get 'em near the break or they are breaking like Flo's outer bar will...easily mast high then.....rolling apartment buildings I called them

Pistol presented me the largest two waves I have ever seen.... anywhere.... it was surreal, rolled under me when wind eased and I was slogging along....easily 2 1/2 mast highs but there were only 2 of them....go figure....

super Armageddon type freaky

Size is in the eye of the beholder.

For me, anything at Nitinat is usually head high, CB and the Gorge are Over-head, Pipers is Logo High, and everything on the outside coast is by Default Mast to Double Mast high.

Are you starting your own measuring style like the Hawaiians, but this time to build stoke?
2ft Hawaiian is a 4ft face, which is 8ft Nanmoo style?

Nanmoo's measuring style must be from the swimming perspective

Much awesome! We just need our own version of Sam and we can bring it back!! Maybe an AWT stop at Long beach? We might need a barge with fans...

I'm going to archive all your posts so we can review them again when the day comes that you try kiting. Even if it's a decade, I can wait!

Hmm, maybe, I heard it only takes a week for a decent windsurfer to go pro? Not going to happen, all the bikini shots in the kite mags won't sway me, oh wait they aren't published anymore either... I'm pretty sure windsurfers in the gorge out weigh kiters 5 to 1 and Naish bash was on while I was there.

Is your gear for sale yet? Or are you hanging on to it when you get bored of kiting by next season?

But we're way off topic talking about what we call logo high waves, with this talk about kiting. We all know wave kiting isn't a thing. 1/3 string high doesn't mean anything when you kite 15feet in front of the wave.

Did you have a bad experience flying a kite as a kid or something? We've all poked fun at the tea baggers but yours is a true and passionate disdain with a ferocity unlike any other.

BTW,

I'm not sure that's a good thing.
