Surfer rides highest wave ever recorded


When I first saw this headline I thought it must have been a Nomad Surfer either at Shari’s place or at the secret spot. However, unfortunately that was not the case.

Incredibly large balls made of stainless steel! Someone is going to die one day, but aren’t we all?

How do they measure these waves? Who says the wave was tallest ever? I suspect the wave measurement was “eye-balled” and is as precise and accurate as David k’s measurement of sea levels from snapshots of palm trees he found on the Facebook :biggrin:

Take a really close look at those photos David. what do you see? obviously the facade has been altered, but look closer.

see the "base of the tower - heavier rock kind of making a shelf? see that David? its quite obvious and prominent and extending above the water line on the old photo. Ok so now look at that on the new photo, that "shoulder". it's almost under water, - IE sea level rise.

David, I appreciate your disproving the very point you are trying to make!

Palm Tree Logic ?


Like the idiotic Palm Tree photo comparison, the two Sydney pics are absolutely meaningless in the sea level rise debate.

However, if one could know that the person responsible for the Facebook posting actually believed that they were proof ................ that would prove that HE was pretty dumb.

Simply the time each photo was taken would make it completely bogus.... low tide vs high tide and such ....

Nope - Not true! David has already declared numerous times that the time and tides did not matter for his palm tree photos, and he posted these to prove the same point - how dare you contradict the great and almighty David and his Iron Clad palm tree-

since the time, tide etc don't matter on the palm tree photos - how could it matter on these?

You can see where the water reaches at high tide, even if the tide is out. The palm tree and countless other reference points, worldwide, simply show where high tide usually goes.

The palm tree is at the top of the beach slope, and if you knew beaches, you would know that they go from slope to level at the top of the typical highest tides of the month.

Nope David - if the tide doesn't matter for the Palm, it shouldn't matter for these! You can't have it both ways David!

Flip flop, twist and turn - hold yourself accountable David - when you post one of your Facts" stand behind it. and why are those palms dying David? couldn't be salt water intrusion - could it?

I've had an ingrown hair on my left nut that for decades now, the bath water has always came to within 1/2" of it .
But in the last two years the bath water is now touching the ingrown hair, thus proving beyond a shadow of a doubt that Global worming IS happening !!!!!

As a side note, the ingrown hair is quite happy ...........
