Definition of "short" is a little tricky. Short 5 footers in the Gulf Stream are 5-5.5 second period waves. Make that 4 seconds or less and I would not want to be there. Make it 6 and its almost a piece of cake.

what you're saying is,you really can't run those speeds in a short steep chop,like i described,right ?
