Yup, if you have sailed Pipeline, Velzyland, Chuns, or Jockos on the prevaling NE winds....
Punta San Carlos is mushier, Waddell a hair less, Davenport usually steeper and hollower, unless it's high tides.
Cape Sebastian is usually slightly more offshore, so break's more top to bottom, Pistol River's shorebreak is much hollower, while the outside break only break's halfway down.
All depends on where you have windsurfed and if you have ever surfed.
Anybody can prattle off a list of names, however I'd like to see a picture of you in the pocket of a mast high wave. I very much doubt you would turn, just straight line the shoulder. Isn't there an American forum you can annoy?
Easy to snipe at someone from your typewriter.
While I don't have pictures to post, I've sailed with Harold Iggy, John Hill, Mark Angulo, Craig Yester, and a bunch of Oahu's North Shore locals a lot, and sailing Jockos with him actually watching from his house, we pioneered Chuns, Lani's, and Sunset year's before the 1992 ban windsurfing the N Shore, while preserving moments at 7th Hole and BY Beach for all posterity.
Before you say something really dumb, why don't you LOOK at the pictures posted! Very nice wavesaling waves for sure, but LOOK at the shoulder's of those mushy waves, and you will see why everyone in West Oz rides WIDE, soft railed surfboards there. The waves are mushy.

Hence the title of the thread.
So what is all the name dropping about?
There you go dropping names again. Everyone sails with great sailors. Just because we don't write about it doesn't mean we don't have experience. Some people understand that nobody gives a ****, unless it's a funny story.
It may not be Teahupoo but I wouldn't call Margies mushy. I know it'd take me a while to stop playing on the shoulder in waves like that. Chances are all my gear would break and I'd drown first wave. There's multiple waves in Australia that make Jaws look a little mushy.
I'd just like to point out...
that I popped my Margs cherry today
Small waves, good wind, only a little bit scared, it's only taken 2 years of living down here, watching the good guys for me to pluck up the courage.
So watch out for me generally getting in the way of everyone this season
LeeD what a flogger you are, im guessing u have a really ssad dope filled life with nothing better to do than troll the internet and stroke your ego. Margies may be a little fat on occasions but it has one of the heaviest lips around, just ask josh angulo who broke 4 or 5 masts in one day many years ago. Anyone who gets in the bowl at margies would crap all over your sailing ability mr nobody . What f whits like you have forgotten is that we sail to have fun not stroke our egos and if you want to drop names ive has a head job from linda Lovelace
Ps leeD just to confirm to the world what a flog you are everyone bar one sailing that day were on production wave boards which last time i checked are the same design all over the world.
i was looking at you nebs thinking that I recognised you from about 10 years ago in qld
Who could forget my ugly mug
You on the other hand
Say "Hi" next time.
I met this "loser" down at Margs this year. He travelled a long way to enjoy epic "mush". His name is Philip and is the modern day Mr Angulo.
Nebbian, I also spent many sessions watching others before finally this year giving it a crack. What a beautiful, challenging place to sail.

LeeD, I've got an easy solution. You can easily put this thing to bed!
The Pipe Masters is on hold at the moment. Just rig up and bog on out at Pipe (where you've sailed before) and we can all watch on the webcast.
Sounds like the locals won't give you any trouble either seeing as you're one of the pioneers that paved the way for them.
Sorted!
I remember sailing Waddell creek and Davenport 15 years ago. Great spots but I honestly do not think they are in the same league as Margs.
Then again I suppose it is a question of scoring the right swell/wind combo. For example, this is Margs a few years back.
LeeD....what's your point?
"Punta San Carlos is mushier" : PSC is a rideable wave for newbies, I've sailed PSC in logo high and even in chili bowl...when you get Munch you barely tumble. PSC for an expert is also a big off the lip wave...but is about ankle high on the scale of that punishement.
"Waddell a hair less"....you probably got long long hair...lol!
all the name dropping are good spot...but Margs is another ball game in my opinion.

I think you are arguing with someone that is obviously better than you. I thought I remember the handle, but not from the following post. I think this is someone just joking (about not joking).

^^^^^^ Fark that!
You'll be right. A bloke with your experience would be all over that!
Greeny you were once the little grasshopper, as its now your local you are now the master. Show me the way sensei
Nuttin to do with "better" or "worse".
Just has to do with the wave itself, and it's power.
You have to stop being a proud, braggin Aussie, and LOOK at the shape of those waves.
A excellent wave sailing wave is Cabo Verde, or some of those lefts in Chile.
Compare those waves to Margies.
Braggin?
Look up the term.
Better yet, look at the pictures YOU guys posted, and tell me how steep the waves are.
Better yet, look at the surfboards the West Oz surfer's use. Super wide, short, round rails, for mushy but sizeable waves.
