plagiarizing! - your description of the surfer who had spent 3 months in WA and 6 months in indo, got three tubes on 1 wave, and said it was the best wave of his life is stolen from surfline's travel descripstion of Coxos, the pointbreak in Portugal. Here's the link: http://www.surfline.com/reports/report_travel.cfm?id=6068
You know, it might be a great wave, but u can be a little bit more original, don't ya think?

Plemont can be sic! - Go down on a 8ft + swell, when the waves are pounding the north coast. As you sit on your board in the line up take a look out to sea, when a big swell and wave crashes into the rocks to the right about 500 yards out from you start paddling either for shore or to sea. If your not out you'll get pounded. Last time I surfed it I got slammed, the waves break in the same spot and will spin you under water then spit you into rocks.
