@@ReidAnderson7 sorry to hear bro. Such devastation to so many people 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Hopefully this will be the last for this year…

[@ReidAnderson7]

@@Surferjoefwb I love nature! It’s all good! I live in a single wide trailer that I can easily replace just like everyone else should. Then all you have to worry about is death. Everything else is just worthless material things. Much love and alohas!

The left is very similar to what I’ve surfed for 51 years. Pier surf some of the best

[@Surferjoefwb]

@@jayollis3105 right on. If you haven’t watched my Helene video from Gulf Shores Alabama check it out. The sandbar at their pier was insane!

[@hunterdavis3003]

Hey man I gotta ask, why don’t you drive?

[@Surferjoefwb]

@@hunterdavis3003 because of a bad decision I made about 15 years ago. Remember that driving is a privilege, not a right 🤙🏼

[@chucklagana]

OOTs out if towners vet frustrating at times

[@Surferjoefwb]

🤣🤙🏼

[@stevenhusmann3816]

that is so sad and tragic. The swell of the decade that wouldn't raise an eyebrow anywhere else?

[@Surferjoefwb]

@@stevenhusmann3816 doesn’t take much to get us Gulf Coasters excited 🤙🏼but the fact that Lost.. team riders Rasta Rob and Cory Lopez came over to ride(see my Hurricane Helene Guif Shores Alabama video) says a lot.

[@JonnyDee-uh1eo]

Every Southern California Surfer would be absolutely thrilled right now to have these waves after what some are saying their longest swell drought ever. Not an eyebrow? Pfffft! Ask any surfer in Huntington Beach to watch this video to see some of the waves breaking back into the pier on this day what they think and they'd tell you it was a solid ass day. Your purposeful condescending attitude is what's so "sad and tragic" You will never appreciate whatever surf you do get more than the Gulfcoast guys.

[@coblegriffith-db1lz]

Awesome video, looks y'all got it good over there 🤙🤙

[@Surferjoefwb]

@@coblegriffith-db1lz thanks bro! Best I’ve seen since Wilma in 2004 🤙🏼

[@michaelelam9779]

So what’s your point should we not have been excited?!

[@gunny7769]

of the decade ? mate it might not even be the swell of the MONTH comin up this week lol

[@Surferjoefwb]

@@gunny7769 🤣🤙🏼Not sure where you’re from mate, but the last time we saw waves this good on the Emerald Coast of Florida was 2004 from Hurricane Wilma.
