Thanks for BIG waves

 
(click images, because the thumbs don't do any sort of justice)
Seems like every time a huge winter swell hits the Monterey Peninsula, I'm down in Mexico surfing shoulder high 'fun' waves. I'm not complaining, and I'm certainly not paddling out into 25' faces, but it sure is exciting to stand on Carmel Point and watch quad-overhead bombs detonate within rock-throwing distance. Finally, this Thanksgiving weekend, my timing was good and I got to shoot some photos with a small pack of psychos out in very big waves, very clean conditions and good light. Now I'll fly to Mexico tomorrow and with any luck, catch this same swell down there... after it's lost most of it's size and strength.
