My old Nordkapp - as long as it didn't hit anything solid and had the cockpit hole sealed up, could take those seas. Me, not so much. I was talking to Dan Lewis a while back: there was a huge storm at Long Beacv (VI) back in the 80's. Surferes/yakkers were just playing in the foam soup - that was it. Waves were initially breaking miles out to sea. In places where the swell could run right up to land in deep water againt the cliffs, the spray way making the sky rain. When the seas/surf really up, the ego is way down. When it's like it is the the video, well, what ego? What even of thought of a man?? Just a grain of sand at that point.
