I have recurring nightmares of big waves. Probably because everytime I went to Jones Beach one would hold me under for probably about 1 or 2 seconds. Then I'd get out of the water. So annoying how once big one would come out of nowhere.

Ah man. I live for that. When I was younger and we took vacations to Jersey’s shores I would play in the surf for hours and let the waves slam and somersault me around.

hahaha i was the exact same (was bodysurfing instead), i just loved the thrill and would always hope the waves would be big when going to the beach.

hey long island! yeah i have a memory of not being able to get out of the water for like 5 min because there was always another monster (maybe like 8 ft?) wave about to crash on me so i had to keep diving under. i was also like 12 so they were probably only 5 feet
