I surfed it about this size several times back in the 80’s when the crowd was pretty much zero, you had to take a miserable hours long bus ride over a washboard dirt road from Oaxaca city with mountain locals & livestock. It was me & my 2 friends out & I’ve surfed a lot of big wave but at this size, feeling all alone & no rescue with 100 miles, it scared the shit out of me. I watch these vids & my PTSD comes back😂😂
