"best" is a relative term especially when it comes to surfing the outer banks

About this size, in the fall and late summer when the tropical storms push ocean swells up the coast pretty continuosly from late august to thanksgiving. When a hurricane is right offshore, they get even bigger.

I used to live in Minnesota. College is a wonderful thing. Especially when you pick a school near the ocean with a ski team/club that competes/rides Mammoth. :)

So nice I decided to stay.

What college is that? I really don't know any other schools than Indiana colleges. I go to Purdue. My roommate was from Huntington Beach, Cali which was quite the opposite of where I live.

I didn't go to USC or UCLA or SDSU or any of those other schools that people seem to know about. I went to the capital of nerdom, Cal Poly! Great school... filled with science geeks. Great anthropology/archaeology program. Lots of friends from USC and UCLA though, they have teams/clubs there as well. USC's team is probably the best... Although our mens snowboard team was the best when I was present.

Probabaly a large paddle type thing at the far end powered by hydraulics, probably works like a fan and pushes the water, causing a swell, then the pool probably gets shallower and the wave builds up, and eventually breaks
