Sometimes it's nice to squat down, if only to feel closer to the energy of the wave, to sense the water rushing all around you.<br /><br />Regarding the loss of the board and getting crushed, there's no photographic proof of that, so it didn't happen. There's only proof of you ripping.christianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09650456794111980661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618647349526157083.post-28212360929997635432009-10-10T20:54:03.842-04:002009-10-10T20:54:03.842-04:00photography always lies to someone.photography always lies to someone.granthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05239941853627741360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618647349526157083.post-792018381513415922009-10-10T20:39:49.251-04:002009-10-10T20:39:49.251-04:00well its a good one -lining it up, low center of g...well its a good one -lining it up, low center of gravity and narrow mellow stance. respecrashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02151005500315869172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2618647349526157083.post-45505531478425151662009-10-10T20:34:29.772-04:002009-10-10T20:34:29.772-04:00A quick comment on the photo: not long after the s...A quick comment on the photo: not long after the shutter released, I did no more interesting thing on the wave. In fact I think I thought to do a little off the lip cut back sort of maneuver as it closed out, but ended up forgetting to get to the tail, instead letting my board slip out from under me. It was then that I swam in, got the board, and proceeded to get thumped on the head for about twenty minutes trying to get back out. Soon after, I paddled what must have been wave-of-the-day material and didn't paddle hard enough. That's right, I dropped right down the back as the beauty peeled on. Someone even hooted while I was paddling for it. Disaster. The next wave was a closeout where I lost my board again. The paddle out was excruciating, again. The wave after, my last wave, I just made it into a fast one, slid down the face and got smashed a little. Yep. I'll remember this day for a long time.
