That said, when a northwest swell 12 foot at 18 seconds hits Hawaii, it is just so different and so much bigger than anything but the rarest of swells in SoCal, so that even my most scary moments here seem to pale in comparison. 20+ foot faces hucking over reef will always remain the biggest threat and challenge to my surfing experience, and for that Hawaii is perhaps the best example and comparison... Now, NorCal is a different story, where it gets almost as big, and is so friking cold... Thanks for the comment!

Blacks, Silver Strand, etc. are examples and though they do not compare to Sunset and Pipeline, they do compare to the less than big-wave premier spots of which the North shore is littered.

Surfing the North Shore requires a whole different mind set that even us LA-surfers can achieve if we want it bad enough. You never know when your time is up so charge it everyday with confidence and a smile. Cheers Well said brother!
