Yes but only with 3 friends on a warm, sunny, glassy day? :D

i like it when it's about head high, it's perfect to do all kinds of things, i don't like it too much when it's over 10 feet, it's a different feeling, a big rush yes, but then you don't do the tricks you can in smaller waves, or at least not as agressively.
When it's big i fell more like you're running away from it, so it won't break and crush you, you can do turns and stuff but it's not the same, you know what i mean????

This was a fairly big day at Aggie. Had a few nice rides on the smaller ones, but this one, although it was not very long, stayed with me for a while. It was a few months later that I found out a friend had taken the photos which was the icing on the cake.[/img]

on the money there, caught my first unbroken wave 2-3 months ago after months of tryin. took me a couple of seconds to realise i was where i had been tryin to get to for months... so stoked i didn't want to ruin it by trying anythin tricky but ended up losing it tryin to get more speed. tryin to pump for speed... started alright but ended up diggin the tail in and bye bye wave.
had loads since then that were better but nothin to beat the feelin of that first one. let ya know when i catch my first barrel.

dec - saw Tavarua on endless summer 2. looks unreal... any waves near there suitable for a beginner/improver?
