hi terry,hope everything is real good with you,i think i might have my dates wrong,the biggest swell i do remember was around 40ft(faces)this could have been in 1975,i had a leg injurie and it was a good excuse not to go out(i dont remember anyone being out),but i maybe wrong,-top to bottom perfect tubes—-TOO BIG,it would have been very diffucult to get into these—nice hearing from terry,take good{ care——–can contact me at (wedgejeff@yahoo.com)——–take care

Jeff, remember 1975? Incredible Frieght Trains on every set!!! Plus, the power due to at least 20 seconds period and 40′+ size, straight-up and down, circular tubes. I have not seen it break with such intensity in 34 years. Close, but not quite. See you down there, OK? PS: I have filn of Jeff on 30 feet plus waves. Great Wedge Bodysurfer. Terry Wade

the wedge is best at 20 ft plus,the bigger it gets,the better it is,the 1968 swell was the biggest and best shape ive ever seen it,nobody was out and it was possibly 40 feet at the face and every wave was almost perfect,the next best was the 1983 swell(a couple 30-35 ft faces rolled in which were ridden by terry wade and yours truly),the only other swell that ive seen that compares with these 2 mentioned was somewhere around 1964-1965,as i remember being out(i was 14 or 15yrs old),some of these waves were also in the 30 ft range(maybe larger),ive also bodysurfed pipline 2nd reef as big as it gets and would say the wedge is a much nastier wave at 30ft,but the wedge can get bigger than 30 ft and still be rideable,where as 2nd reef pipe maxizes out around at 30(the faces),2 different beautiful great waves-the best on the planet————————-jeff daly

Man, that is some pretty serious and impressive stuff! I’m a rookie so it’s kind of hard to fathom riding a wave like that. Some friends and I were in Panama in August and saw what appeared to be similar features. Where would you recommend to go in Central America?
