Thanks, I'll check out those sites. Sounds like you've been to alot of cool spots. Also sounds like you like bigger waves than me, LOL. The biggest I ever went out in was while visiting my friend in Kaui. There was about 20mph sideshore winds and about 16-18 foot faces at Hanalei Bay. I should have known something was wrong when there was absolutly nobody out at this normally very crowded spot. I was unfamiliar with the place and he said oh it's probably 6 to 8 feet out there. We paddled out in a rip tide channel that you can't get back in through. As soon as the first set came through I knew I was way out of my league. I had to paddle way out to sea and all the way around into the bay just to make it back to shore. A couple hours later the bouy reports were saying 20-25 foot.

I have only ever seen a shark once. I was standing on a bluff in Big Sur and there was a HUGE fin circling something way out in the ocean. It was too big to be anything but a great white or possibly a basking shark.
