Well could ya?
That is the challenge that has been issued in support of San Diego's Boys to Men Orgination that mentors todays youth.
Boys to Men
I don't think it often that you can surf and benefit such a great cause as helping out the local community grow boys into a man. So i have decided to have a go at this. You can help out by supporting me or signing up yourself. There are a lot of single parent homes and growing up in one myself, this is a way to help some of those kids out. So even if you are not from San Diego feel free to chip in. Here is the link. Take a couple minutes to check it out and help out if you could.
100 Waves in 12 Hours
I think i can catch all 100 waves(open faces only) but it will be challenging since i am a 9 to 5er that never gets in more than a couple hours in a day.
Thanks and seriously could ya honestly do it........ a wave every 7 minutes
Can't wait to start training.......
100 waves at Mission Beach…Could be small and easy paddle outs at high tide OR slaming close outs at low tide making for really fun get in and outs…I grew up there I don’t know. Good luck at least it looks like it is for a good cause
A friend once shot video of me and some other guys. The time stamp on the footage totalled 1/2 hr elapsed time from when he began until he quit shooting. In that 1/2 hr, I rode at least ten waves that he captured on tape. So, that would add up to 20 waves/hr, thus extrapolating to 5 hrs water time to get 100 waves in a day.
This was at a point break during a hurricane swell with only 5 guys out. Waves were shoulder high to slightly overhead.
I have done it. In an hour session I have definitely caught 25+ waves. gotta love short interval short eastcoast waves.
Did you do this on a short board, while wearing your favorite shorts?
I could catch 100 waves in a day, easy, IF EVERYONE WOULD GET OUT OF MY $#%^& WAY!!!!!!! hA ha!!!!!!
NO.
could easily do the hourly rate of waves required imo, just a matter of staying out there and keeping it up, and need the waves to be consistent...may have done it already as a super keen grommy.....
I usually loose count at around 3. Good luck, though. Mike
Heck, some days I'm happy to get one.
no..... and, i'm with Rooster... after 3, i lose count
maybe I will give it a go, need an official counter.....could be good maths lesson for my son...hahaha...
Yea, on the east coast that’s pretty easy. When I surfed contests I’ve done 15 waves in 15 minutes. That is going all out but even surfing at the end of my street in summer I 'd go out after work and ride 10 - 15 waves and come in after 30-45 minutes regularly. In CA that would be a long day. Sets are so far apart most times. Getting 10 an hour is pretty exceptional there. I’ve always thought that the short interval was something that has made FL surfers as good as they are. That, warm water and uncrowded beach breaks.
… I think that what GL say is correct
plus if you speak of crappy short period waves and not real waves or larger waves or places with too much current or very long waves, as the Peru waves.
Also, there s a difference between paddling and taking waves with a longb in small waves and in a point for ex than with a shortboard, etc
and the waves, will be riding to the beach or how long?
Then, if you have real waves you need gobs of strength power, stamina, and cardiovascular potential to take and ride 100 real waves.
And the crowd or you are the owner of the beach?
so, that is a nonsense in every aspect.
I understand the challenge to a good cause and that is the fact but not the number.
Well Said, ((((((Reverb)))))).
Big days in Hawaii … Sunset, a couple of waves an hour is about it … if that. Take a week or two to get a hundred.
No, I did it on my longboard in my full length wetsuit getting long(relative to the wave) noserides.
I remember surfing Sunset (mid 80’s) with a rising N/W swell at dawn and it was coming up fast. Chuck Andrus was one of the guys out and it got to be 15’ Hawaiian. I was getting “haired” and it took all I could take to get in, the pounding of my life. This took about four hours and I got maybe three waves. Went to work on a short day and came back at 12:30-1 o’clock and Chuck was STILL OUT THERE. Any west on a big swell there is “HAIRY”. He was RIPPING! The guy surfed 6-7 hours in maxed conditions!! Forget about wave count, the guy didn’t even look tired, and then rode his bicycle back to Laie.
( Like Charlie Walker paddling in the July 4th race, Sunset to Waimea crossing the finish line and turning around and paddling back against current nonstop.)
Hell... it will be fun to try. Anything for a day of surfing.
Howzit Greg, As a certified ASP contest judge I have seen guys who get at least 10 waves in a 15 minute heat and that was the limit and we stopped judging them after that amount. So it is possible to do the 100 waves in a day with no problems except for how many other surfers are in the water. On the other hand there were the guys that were kucky to get the minimum 2 waves per heat. Aloha,Kokua
