A back in the spring I managed to finagle my way onto Point Mugu Naval base with my photog Dave. It was the third or fourth attempt we made at getting the wave and this time we scored. It was solid overhead, heavy, perfect conditions and a light crowd. Upon checking it we saw that Dane Renyolds and his videographer were on it as well, Dane killing it as usual. We had not seen the footage of it and wondered what ever had become of that session not being posted on his blog MarineLayerproductions.com.
All that wondering went out the window when he posted a free 30 minute video download with the finale of the video being that session and one of the last few clips is of course me pussing out of the wave of the day. It’s at the end of the video at 30.45 on the video timer. If you are new to my blog and missed the original blog from that faithful day I am going to repost it here in a day or so.
Here is Danes video, its like 32 minutes long, but after it downloads you can skip to 30.45 and witness my pulling back in all its splendor. I should have went after seeing it I think I could have made it.

That wave is a mutant. Just remember that 90% of the surfing population would not even be able to make ANY of those waves, and 99% of them would not even think about taking off on that thing.
Once again, that wave is a mutant. And you don’t realize how heavy that wave is til you’re actually out there.
Its totally true but I watched that section in the video like 100 times and I think I could have made it. Maybe if I had a little more board and a little more experience with the wave. If I went back now and that wave came I think I would not blow it.
UCB the allure of the threesome.
$100!!! That’s awfully expensive to get in. Nevermind. Great wave to successfully catch though!
