This one is for the guys/girls who are wondering how to paddle out through bigger breaking waves

Take my advice and try anything other then this

I thought it was a funny set of photos that my mate snapped off a sh##ty camera while watching me play..

Enjoy Belly..

Brilliant. But I love the unflinching confidence right up until you got smashed.

Yes good advice - I broke my toe trying to hang on to long. Sometimes you just have to know when to fold 'em........I learn't my lesson the hard way!

Classic...still having his feet square on at impact is a great way to get you board in the face....maybe he was thinking it was going to break over his head...gust effort all the same.

Belly, i thought you said you couldn't afford to loose any more teeth

A, for effort and a B for not chickening, you thought i was going to say balls

Funny

So many times you see the wave coming, but you just slowly paddle out and just stare at the wave as it breaks right in front of you... Next you know you're in the drink.

I would have flicked the board to the side and dived deep. What would you guys have done?

The same , no way your getting over white water like that , just check to see no ones behind , charge it and try to kick your board over or through and bale to the side.

I would love to see some vids of people trying to get through big waves.
