I had a friend last week get caught up in a big clean up set ,that shouldnt be a problem if you have a sand beach
but the direction of the swell was washing him into a rock face ,and cliff ,rocks covered with sea urchins .
He is 90 kgs very fit ,and he rides and surfs a big 190 litre atlantis Halo .anyway he got wash around the point .
and made the decision to ditch it ,leg rope off ditched the paddle and swam for it .
make s me relies big boards can be a danger in big surf ,thats a lot of foam to drag you ...he said there was no way he could get out of it .
Anyway it's on my repair bench after been wash completely up on some big narly rocks ,I thought it would of been worse .Hes looking at a smaller board now..he's still limping ..with reef cuts .

anyone else been dragged in shore by a big lump of a board .?
