Surfing Waves

A little question with two parts:

What is the biggest surf you've ever

a) been out in?
b) seen?

To make it a little more interesting, put down where it was too!

The biggest I've been out in was about 8 - 10 feet and I was petrified.

It was about 4-6 when I paddled out and it just kept getting bigger until I was stuck out back, to afraid to try and catch a wave!!

The biggest I've seen is around 15 ft. Llangennith in Wales, it looked mad - like pipeline - spitting barrels and everything!

What's everyone else been out in?

Sinista

1.. was 10ft ..this was my first time surfing hurricane season so i didnt understand how different the sets come in

it was 5-7 and decent conditions i was having the time of my life until a 10 ft set came in and took out the whole lineup it was very rainy and foggy so hard to see...worst experience ever

2...25-35 I live in New Jersey and that huge hurricane (we got the day off school) came i checked it out it was soo insane you couldnt even walk on the beach it was in no way, shape, or form rideable

the biggest wave i surfed is the biggest wave i ever seen too.it was in canary island,fuerteventura,cotillo beach!it was3 meters..i think in foot is about 8/9 foot.shallow and fast tubes...my best surf ever
