Okay… I give up?
They’re closeing some beaches-for fear that some observers might drown… how does that happen?

While the Copenhagen “conference” on global warming is ongoing, is this story about big waves meant to distract us from the facts that so called “scientists” fudged numbers to make us think there was “global warming” so as to scare us into accepting the world’s larges re-distribution of wealth ? ?

Claspur, I live on the ocean and have seen folks try to walk down the beach during a large swell event and a large ground swell will roll in and take them off their feet and suck them into the powerful shore break. You are totally at the mercy of those tons of rushing water and no matter how hard you fight it your gonna get rolled and tumbled under water. most inexperienced people will panic, and some even drown, it happens where I live every year. If incredibly talented surfers like Tom Carrol can get hurt best bet is to stay on high ground and watch, and keep your toes out of the water for a few days.

@claspur- what happens is people deciding to wade near the shore and the water dragging them in. The water from those big waves has to go somewhere so you can imagine the undercurrent near the shore is something as powerful as the waves themselves.

It happened to me when I lived in Hawaii and decided “Ah shucks (hayseed accent), it’s just water. How bad can it be?” After getting pounded into the sand by an eight foot shore break, I felt like a lawn dart. Fortunately, a local Hawaiian pulled me out of the mess saying “Bra, you might want to sit this one out.” I did and thanks to him, am here to tell you the story. I felt like that was the day I’d die.

OH NO,Global Warming!

Can we all agree that people who surf monster waves are in the same category as those who scale mountains without ropes, those who jump canyons with motorcycles, those who swim among sharks, those who want to make friends with polar bears….etc? Essentially they are attention starved whores playing a variation of Russian roulette…and they make great entertainment as their own personal train wrecks. Narcissists all.

Off Duty, until you’ve done something more fun and riskier than channel surfing with your remote, I don’t really care what you think. Go climb a rock, surf a wave, or parachute. Guaranteed, it’ll change you for the better.

Back for a minute…

Not been to the ocean in some years, and the waves here are Huge.However, any ninny that doesn’t get a feel for what the incoming surf is doing and how far it’s coming-in on shore deserves to drown. Kind-of like the fools that voted for Maobummercorn, ‘cept that foolishness is making everyone hurt now.
