My apologies STC, thanks for pix of the swell, it looks like a huge washing machine. Nice Spartan set up for the equipment BTW.

I actually know the feeling of making bad decisions as far as choosing surfing locales.

My American geography is obviously "up the Creek" (an Australian saying for misguided). I thought that you may have been able to go for a surf and then catch a Broadway play!!

It doesn't look that far on a map! I hope you pick up something for us to ogle over when the wind swings!!!!

As far as Finland is concerned, I've reduced to a one board quiver but now play with a large number of fins, ergo Finland, part of the absurdist sense of humor I have developed from observing constantly absurd behavior by our absurd species.

(some guys have Mozambique, Austria etc.

) Now get your heated wetsuit on and go for it.

I reckon in the future you should think about a mission to Iceland.

Icelandic surf tours advertise on the internet.
