Man I love surfing.  It's so nice to find waves suitable for a really big thrash on the ocean.
I'm actually a surfer as well. Being a Florida native it's hard not to be.  I was actually out on my short board today.
They have any good waves in Florida?  Like when a tube forms and you surf under the wave?
In the norther part of the state, down state not so much. Hurricane season is here so until spring it's decent surf most days. 
I almost surfed a tube on the wave once in San Diego.  Totally wiped out before I could ride it.
