Monterey Bay (2001?) sailing as crew on a H-18. Boat flips in front of us gois full turtle crew separates. Help the crew back to his boat as chase boat arrives. We get back to the race and are in 7th place at the mark. Turn the mark and second set if waves to hit is HUGE. We turn down the face of the wave and get propeled straight down wind. Me on the Front x bar and Josh steering we surfed the roller all the way to the gate. Back in first place roll the gate and off to the finish.
I remember that. I've got pics somewhere. Monterey is deep, so the swells just roll. That day there was a 10-12 groundswell from the NW if I remember. And wind chop on top of that. Pretty fun. I almost pitchpoled the Hobie Skiff!
