Below is a link to a short clip of a modest waveride. Nothing radical, nothing amazing, nothing particularly anything other than...fun on a four foot wave.

For myself (18 months into wave sailing as a middleish aged guy) this stuff is exciting. My bottom turns are weak, so it's a lot easier to commit in front of a less than head-high wave than something larger (I have managed a few overhead waves...I've also paid some dues on same.)
Small waves are fun for experienced crew to ............for it is the small waves that build you for the BIG WAVES.
Small waves can cop an extra slashing with out the swim.
YOUR FITNESS can often be the difference between getting to your rig and getting out of the danger zone ,or not worrying about copping a another one on the head.
Are you taxed YET in the USA over there for the size of the waves you ride ?
The word is your next Government is going to introduce it to recoup all the money lost by those ripp off share market and bank crew.?
I agree Krusty, more like a 1-2ft wave!
but.....
Americans do call the wave size from the front not the rear as we do here, bigger and better as always!
yeah but most Aussies confuse mast high with double mast high! eg any wave at Currumbin always seems to be mast high! Local joke 
When talking to people that don't surf, including windsurfers, I always talk about the wave face compared to something. Either waist high, shoulder high, over head, mast high etc. Save's confusion.
Two rules
1. When telling someone who wasn't there, say it was twice as big as what you think.
2. When telling someone who was there, say it was half the size as what you think.
as usual qwerty it was actually fun wind and waves til you showed up. thats 3 times in a row its died the second you hit the water. next time im just going to derig as soon as you show
dont tell me you have a case of twinphobia ( a severe phobia of the future suffered by people living in the past). If you thought that was good wind I dont think youve been getting out enough qwerty.
). 
Kiter? please! Im just sick of listening to people who havent tried them constantly offer an opinion on them ( mainly negative), who am I trying to convince?? your the one who mentioned the additional fins.
All seems like a bit of a piss take to me, no? No harm no foul, just jovial shenanigans :D
Lets get back to Gerroa, which if memory serves me correctly was at least mast high yesterday ^_^
Yep, listening to people talk about wave height is often good for a laugh. If it's really waisthigh they say it's one foot; headhigh is called two or three feet, then when it gets a few feet bigger than that suddenly the exaggeration flips direction and they're calling it logo high.
Epic southerly this arvo, cranked in right after work...what are the chances 
Once again must have been at least mast high! Good vulcan practice though :D I'd say peggys will be fair epic tomorrow qwerty if you wern't off on your Sydney shenangans Tide will be perfect too!
The crows nest....deadset classic hahahah.
