I'll certainly look for it. With respect to waves, I remember when I was in Hawaii a couple of years ago, I rented a car to tour the big island. I stopped on the east shore to go swimming. The waves were maybe 8-10 feet. They look much smaller from the shore. I am in decent shape, but those 8-10 footers in chest high water easily took me under, and pretty much tossed me wherever. I could not imagine being tossed around by a thirty, much less a fifty footer. Well, I could, which is why you would never catch me there. I drove further North, and my wife and I stopped, closer to the north shore. Sunset, and still there were surfers surfing in water that was littered with rocks.
