i’ve surfed/caught waves 12-15ft+ East Coast and 16-18ft plus in Hawaii, where I caught one make at Waimea...the difference in speed and steepness is like twice of tha you’re accustomed. As you know, Island waves usually have a deeper/longer swell period so they’re physically moving faster. East Coast waves of 15-18ft though are no joke, especially if out at a beach break without any channels. I had to get out of the water one day in Hawaii at Sunset Beach as well bc the swell kept getting bigger. Seeing and being out in waves pushing over 20ft faces (8-12ft @ 16 sec) really makes you reevaluate life and what’s important. The speed of the wave works 2 ways, so while more difficult to catch and make the drop, once you’re on the face, you have more speed down the line to use surfing wise. Lastly, the key to big wave survival besides breath and swimming training is having a solid big wave gun, 9’6x20x2 3/4 at least minimum length and thickness...width depends on surfers build and preference with most guns I dont think would be over 23” ...usually guns are 1-1 1/2” wider than standard shortboard, and while a 7’0 will catch a 10ft (20ft face) wave some places, true big wave “spots” really need a 9’0-10ft board with more volume too. Try finding a used semiGun like 6’8-7’0 even for the eastCoast and see how “easy” it makes surfing Hurricane Surf that’s over 10ft faces. it’s definitely a game changer...

the scariest part for me is being caught inside and paddling like crazy as the next monster approaches. When you blast off the curling top to safety as a cliff forms behind you....that's a great feeling.
