When was the last time you tried that somewhere where there is a shore break?

Why would you video a 99.99999 percent success rate anyways? Everybody wants to see a crash right?! I know I do! Even if its me! Makes good video!

Those crashes look painful in two ways:


#1 the physical pain


#2 the monetary pain

I was physical exhausted for at least 30min after the crash
I was mentally exhausted for at least a few hours after the crash
today is Wednesday and I still have some soreness on my upper back


#2 the monetary pain
I lost my BWE hat, I've had that thing for at least 4years
I have cleaned and repaired 3 of the 4 rods, the 3 that I cleaned first are my 'go-to' rods
the lens on my gopro housing has a huge scratch on it but I'm not to worried about it, I have the Best Buy warranty on it so I will get it replaced for free. As a matter of fact, there is a good chance that I they will give me a whole new camera.

And yes, I'm ready to do it all over again.................minus the flipping

I've launched my PA and outback at windansea and marine street. notorious shore dumpers. in my opinion, i like shore breaks because:

a. they're easier to judge. size. timing. direction
b. they sit in deep water all the way until the last ten feet, thus giving your mirage drive extra room
c. you can be closer to shore to wait out the sets
d. the surge forward will often assist you in the crucial landing while you jump out
e. they don't roll all the way in like the beach breaks

i don't even launch at shores anymore, the only reason i traded in my hobie was because I'm lazy and like to paddle straight through the kelp to the fishing grounds.


that being said, I'm 99.99999999 (eh fugg it, 100%) entertained by all of your launchings and landings. sweet video as always boys
