I am a surfer/kite surfer and lately supper.
I took the SUP out for a surf in solid 4/5f with inconsistent 6 footer and of course a big fat set came through when I was sitting a bit too deep to get some of the smaller waves breaking at the time. I tried to go over the white water of a double over head that broke 8m on front of me but it only pushed me back. By the time the white wash released me another wave broke just on top and I got washed by 2 more waves... my friends on short boards were laughing while I was struggling to push the 3 meters long beast against the waves while holding my paddle.

At the end I managed to sneak behind and rest after the work out... honestly I don't remember the last time I was held under the water for so long and so many times in one session

suggestions are welcome!
