Would you feel the impact before you lost consciousness, or would you regain consciousness as you were dragged across the reef?
Where/when/who was this?

If I had that sharky feeling then I'd paddle in.
Well, if it makes you feel better you're absolutely right, but I've learned to listen to that little voice screaming inside my head!TromboneAl said:I was hoping you guys would say something like "It's a one-in-500-million chance of being attacked," "more likely to be struck by lightning" etc. That's what I was looking for.
donheff said:TargaDave - I am curious about your take on doing this without the support of an instructor and shallow water. I have a house on the water but we are talking only 100 yards of shallow water and then you are over your head. My take on this sport is that you need to build some pretty good skills before you take your own gear out in deep water. We figure we will stick with Hatteras and see if we can get good enough to be comfortable back home. At that point we can consider buying a kite. It will help that I have a jet-ski so DS and I can chase each other down as we blow miles down the river.
Pat Caldwell is happy so far: "Outlook through Monday Feb 12. The current northwest swell will be reinforced by another west northwest swell Thursday. Surf heights will again be near or above the 25 foot warning levels for the north shore and 20 feet on the west shore."ronin said:Surf forecast has a whopping storm breaking free from the coast of Japan and dropping down in a southerly track towards Hawaii this week, regaining strength as it passes to the north, with large fetch aimed at California from the west at 270 dgr. (270 is really good for me). Could be 2x OH for Sun and Mon (which, ideally, is a school holiday!!). Could you island guys let us know how it pans out on the North Shore this week?
Ye gods, so paddlesurfing works best with four hands, hunh?JB said:Check out this video from last Thursday.
