The reason I looked up wave measurements is I was showing @elfin a video from where all the surfers rolled off their boards as this huge wave came along. Something I've never seen before and neither had Elf, and he's surfed.

Anyway, The Eddie is named after Eddie Aikau who was a and the 1st lifeguard of & the entire , who had saved over 500 lives braving 30' waves that nobody else would go out in. Eddie Would Go™

TIL that and waves are measured completely differently.

California wave measurement system measures the face of the wave...

Oh btw, we're talking about .

So if you're standing on shore looking at a wave, and the face is 40'.

That SAME wave by the Hawaii wave measurement system is 20'.

BECAUSE... when people started surfing (Hawaii) there weren't spectators on shore, just the surfers out in it, so by necessity they measured the BACK of the wave.
