A Surfer’s Dream

I think I was 15 in this, maybe 15 1/2, couldn’t drive yet. I think it was spring. My dad is filming in 8mm from the jetty rocks in the fg. This wave is a left, so the ones going right are going right toward the rocks, just out of frame. No cords, big boards, no one out even though it’s a Saturday when my dad is off work. Notice I am wearing a vest wetsuit, the first surfing wetsuits. Thought was that you had to be able to move your arms and legs in surfing, so you didn’t want too much rubber. Last wave at the jetty, you will see that I am no longer wearing it, but the guy floating over the shoulder is wearing it. That’s my younger brother, who paddled out and was cold, so I loaned it to him. Or maybe we shared it. Can’t remember. In any case, I was already warmed up. The second segment, Right Break, is about 200 yards north of the jetty. Again, no one out. I actually surfed this first, warmed up, then moved over by the jetty rocks. Surfing in this is pretty conservative, because if you lost your boards, it might get dinged up in the rocks, or at the least, there was a fairly long cold water swim. http://www.leucadiasurfschool.com

Motorists using a bridge in the southern Russian city of Volgograd were given the ride of a lifetime by a powerful gust of wind. The new river crossing started shaking violently and a massive downpour at the same time made conditions worse. Drivers say their cars were literally thrown into the air, many thinking it was an unexpected earthquake. The shaking was so severe it caused vehicles to career into the opposite lane creating chaos. Local authorities claim the shaking of the bridge was possibly caused by an earthquake. Seismologists, however, say this is highly unlikely. Meanwhile, Russian president Dmitry Medvedev has ordered an investigation into the bridge’s safety and construction history.

The bridge across Volga river is 1260 meters long and 32 meters wide. It was opened less than a year ago in October 2009.

Now that’s a big wave…….
Good thing he didn’t look back

“On January 28, 1998, Ken rode the biggest wave ever ridden in history, on the North Shore of Oahu, Hawaii at an outer reef known as Outside Log Cabins. This wave was considered to be in excess of 85 feet. That same day he also rode another 20 waves between 40 and 65 feet to make this the largest day ever ridden. Ken’s dream has always been the same, to be one of the best big wave riders, and possibly the best big wave surfer in the history of the world. It looks like his dream may have come true.”
