No Lies I swear to god this happened.
My friend and I decided to go out and surf for the weekend and we had a great time. We both live in Canada and He had done a bunch of surfing in Hawaii and I had gone about 20 sessions with my dad coming up for the week every summer usually and it is one of my favorite things to do. I have been renting Long boards and we both got two 7'6 softops and went out the first day to Nox Bay July.23rd. We had no luck getting out back but we had a good time. I came really close a few times but just got hammered. (6-8 feet at the buoy. The next day we were really determined to do it but it still was not going happen so we walked from Nox Bay to Lesterman Beach through this cool path I found since the tide was out. Lestermans was fun and were great waves to learn direction on the wave. We had a little too much fun because we realized the tide was too far in to get onto the path back to Cox where the car was parked. (5 mile walk) I had been once with my Dad and wondered if it was possible to paddle from Lesterman's to Nox Bay and he called me an idiot. (2 mile paddle) I told my friend that’s what we should do and eventually convinced him to paddle with me to Nox Bay. We got 1/4 of the way it seemed alright the swells got a little bigger but no worries. 1/2 way we started to get a little freaked out. The swells were pretty big now but it was too late to go back. 3/4 the way we started freaking out we were right across from the rocks and we could feel a nice rip taking us out to the ocean but were worried about getting swept in and hammered into the rocks. We were also really tired and almost gave up but we just kept going on a steady angle. The waves were large, on Ralph’s site it says 8 footers that day and we could feel some massive power. It felt to me like busses rolling past us. We finally made it out far enough to paddle in and saw some surfers who called out to us we were too far out. We told them we had paddled from Lestermans and they were really nice about it. They told us to paddle a little farther right in order to be far away enough from the rocks. (Thanks) Now we had the task of catching one of these monsters and my friend went first bailing pretty badly but making it in. I went and caught a nice right taking me back to shore. It was one of the scariest yet most rewarding surfs of my life and I don't think I will ever forget it. I’m thinking about getting a Short board now so I can try duck diving and sharper turning. Thanks to the surfers for being nice to us out back
The Days we went surfing forcast. We were there the 23 and the 24th.
