A tropical storm suddenly appeared off Charleston, SC USA overnight and drifted over Tybee Island by morning. Half a dozen of us took this as a sign to mount up and went out long boat surfing into the infamous Tybee Triangle. We had fun get rained and gusted on while sliding down 4-5 foot sloppy waves. The waves had some serious power and shoved us fast and hard for quite a ways. One nice thing about most of the Triangle is if you think you are going to drown stand up. Its pretty shallow yet surrounded by powerful river mouth/ocean currents which is a big part of why the water can be so wild. If you paddled a short boat or waveski out there you could really have a blast. To try something like that on fun condition days would be a battle royal.
