Honestly, I'm getting too old for the big swells now, for three reasons. 1. No patience for the crowds anymore (and too old to make physical threats). 2. Getting out of the wet wetsuit practically dislocates my bad shoulders and hurts like a mofo. 3. Getting caught inside on big days never used to bother me. Yesterday I fell on take-off on the first wave of a 10' set. The next two waves put me in shear terror. I rode in on my belly nauseous and went to Mondos, where its smaller and slower, with all the other old men on SUPs.
