I wish I could be at Waimea Bay tomorrow! I've seen 25ft waves there in the past, but this could be the most extreme surf Hawaii has seen in 40 years:

I wish to someday watch surf like that.I would watch in awe as crazy people paddled out(how?)to catch a 25ft. wave.As someone who was braver than my skill i know a 6-8ft. wave will pummell you silly in a wipeout.I had good lungs and swimming skills so i survived.
25 foot?Dang you need some coconuts bro.
