just wondering if it would behoove us to

step it up a notch if/when we see such
apparent danger? if not for the parents,
perhaps for the kids?? i'm not saying we are
lifegaurds,,,,,,,,,,,,but what IF, and that is a big IF,

one of us had gotten their attention and explained the REAL dangers of rogue waves from an educational and 'been there done that' perspective. something along the lines of,

"I'm a surfcaster, who fishes here all the time, and do you SEE that wave 100 yds out? it is part of a gnarly set that can triple in an instant. we call those types of waves Rogue Waves. if you would like to risk your life, so be it~~~~but could you do me a favor and please ask your kids to move back. HELL, i don't even want to be near these sets of waves, fogeddah bout the ROGUE wave that could KILL you and anyone else in harm's way. i'm not trying to be a dinkhead, it's just that when ya live in this water for 5 months every year, chasing stripers at night, you get to sea first hand the power and the extreme ways in which the surf can wreak it's havoc,,,,,,,,, i just wanted you to be aware of the seriousness of these swells, for the safety of the children~~~brothah." and if he persisted in staying,

i would've told him to get the EFFFF out of there and to take his brood with him!!! i'd much rather he get pissed off, embarrassed, hurt feelings than feel the hurt of a lost life by his own ignorance!! what's the worst that could happen? he might storm off, ALIVE, with his family?!!?

i'm not SAYIN' he/she will listen; i AM just sayin' what if we at least made THAT type of an effort??
