Viking 0 #1 February 2, 2004 If you were on the beach just relaxing when a huge earthquake (say 8.0) hits off shore and sends a 500 foot tall wave racing for shore. You have 4 minutes until this monster crashs into the coastline.I swear you must have footprints on the back of your helmet - chicagoskydiver My God has a bigger dick than your god -George Carlin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
damion75 0 #2 February 2, 2004 I am shocked by the number of people who would sit and wait for the end!!!! And these are sydivers?? How are you doing Arthur?*************** Not one shred of evidence supports the theory that life is serious - look at the platypus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amazon 7 #3 February 2, 2004 4minutes down there in Southern California.. grab the board and paddle straight out to sea....you could get out far enough in that time in many places beyond where the wave would start to build... if you paddled really hard like your life depended on it. Once you are into deep water its just a BIG ASS swell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grega 0 #4 February 2, 2004 Where's the option: I'd do a hop n' pop and swoop it !!! Otherwise i'd grab a surfboard and started paddling! I always wanted to surf, still do. But what a wave to learn surfing on "George just lucky i guess!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonto 1 #5 February 2, 2004 I'm with you there. Get as far away from the hard crunchy stuff as you can be. The titanic sunk - but the champagne corks didn't... tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #6 February 2, 2004 Steal a fucking SeaDoo and race straight out to sea at wide open throttle. If nothing else, it will be a fantastic wipe-out. Remember: it's better to burn out than fade away. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kris 0 #8 February 3, 2004 a 500' would be bad, but not that bad. I'm with Chuck. It's when waves get over a thousand feet tall and start booking towards shore at mach 1+ that you should start puckering.Sky, Muff Bro, Rodriguez Bro, and Bastion of Purity and Innocence!™ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
