Hold on even if it is with one hand

bloody hell i asked jacko about getting out the back or wiping out and he told me to ride it like harry potter.

Windy Miller told me about a thing you can do with your paddle if your getting held under.
I'm not sure how to explain it properly but maybe he can?
What you try to do is to hold your paddle as if your paddling and use it to kinda lever yourself to the surface. It does work.
We paddled out to some very big surf just before cyclone Bianca hit. It was fkn huge! I rescued a shortboarder who was almost drowning after losing his board. You could hear my knees knocking together in fear hahaha. I had probably one of the longest hold downs. When I was about to hit the panic stage I remembered Millers tip. It worked! But as I surfaced for a gasp of air, I was hit by the next wave and the next and the next hahaha.
Anywho give it a go next time

hmmm, i dont end up thinking about half of this stuff, i just hold on.

maybe why i got clocked in the back of the head with it while underwater yesterday.

Hold on at all costs but, every known and then you will get such a flogging that you accidently let go, so my advice, have a spare! Ten foot is big!
