Many times while snorkeling the tide pushed me into the coral in Hawaii. Ouch.
Yes even on small waves I have been tumbled under water so much that I didn’t know up from down and running out of breath.
Sometimes would see sharks but apparently I don’t look like a meal. Many great whites are tracked along our coast and surprisingly come in quite a bit close to shore.
To be younger and do those things again. Being zoned in on a wave is like zen. Everything else is shut out just the magic of the moment is real.

btw we should get a bounce in the pms soon but then most likely another fairly large downturn before the rocket fires imo.

As long as you like to surf and hitch a ride with the power of nature that’s all that counts. Even 5 ft can be dangerous depending on why. Florida as bull sharks, Hawaii Tiger and coral, Calif especially in North California in winter has hypothermia and where the big waves come and occasional sharks like great white with warmings here and there about it that get ignored but they are aware but the waves outweigh the risks that may travel south. One Hawaiian surfer warned me years back of places on the north shore a bit out that there was coral just about 3 feet below you.
A funny story about a friend who got caught up with that coral while in RR Army VN He made everything that’s dangerous sound funny. Waves knocked him around and pushing him down into the coral and he used his feet to stop him from being slammed into it. Over and over again and can’t remember all he said.He finally gets out and goes to his hotel and changes but his feet are so cut up so he wrapped shirts around them. Then tried to go to a restaurant to get something to eat and they kicked him out and thought he was a bum and wouldn’t give him a break or didn’t believe him. He couldn’t enter because he had no shoes. That was enough for me to stay away from it.
We were sometimes on the north shore of Oahu. I remember watching the surfers on that fearsome coast. All I could manage anywhere (no more though) were the 5 foot waves on our north Forida beach.

Red sky’s at night, sailors delight. Not exactly. High waves across the coast. Surfers out yesterday, think they’ll be closed in southern cal beaches today in southern California. People coming here to see them but don’t know what they call rogue or sneak waves that pop up past the beach and wash people down the streets. No news about it in north cal but waves here 12-15 feet aren’t big but the biggest wave areas usually don’t have streets or homes near by, but cliffs. They get 50-70ft here.
Instead of worrying about what we eat, Gates of Hell shud explain what he was doing with Epstein, so many times and why when it broke as a story, his wife dumped him like a cheap suit.
Then we can decide how he goes to meet his maker…..

A pullback is probably healthy here…hope we don’t go back below $2000……
FWIW, Saw mention of this on ZH…..
X users report that Walmart is the latest major retailer to offer a variety of gold products in its online store. This comes several months after membership-based wholesale retailer Costco began selling 1 oz. gold bars.
“Walmart is selling gold and silver. Are you awake yet? This is a financial change,” one X user said.
