after 15 attempts at surfing, your getting barreled and surfing 8 foot steep, hollow, fast waves?

unless your some sort of god, i just cant see it...especially on a soft top...


I meant the green part of the wave not just the white part. Im serious about the paddleing a mile :( I dint mean to come across as a jackass who thinks hes an amazing surfer. Mabe I can get a 7"0 longboard I can duck dive or somethig I dont really know what to do now.

hmm..just out of curiosity, how come long boards would be easier to paddle out over waves? while i'm basing my understanding on only having surfed in "larger" waves once, i couldn't even stay on my board without the waves and the break pushing me off. :oops:

I think he means...

If you wait for a lull to paddle out; you have a better chance of making it out before the next set comes on a longboard rather than a shortboard.
