…” Jim Howe, operations chief of the city Ocean Safety Division, said a tsunami wave on the open ocean travels 500 mph compared to a surfing wave that travels 30 to 35 mph.

Howe advised surfers to be sensible during a tsunami warning. “Don’t grab a surfboard and wax it up. Head for high ground,” he said.”

We repeat: Not surfable.
