Default Re: Have you seen this?

I've gone through waves that high in my last Seafari going out Jupiter Inlet in the winter. Calm roller outside the inlet, but breaking 10' between the bars. I took them at about a 20-30 degree angle off perpendicular to avoid pitch-poling. The wave broke just before I crested and I had water wash all the way up and over the windshield. Scary!
