Surfing Waves

You can share your wipeout expierences and your most amazing rides here.

Too many epic wipeouts to list i suppose the two that stick are

- falling off my surfboard on a 14ft wave after someone dropped in on me, then i landed on my fins and had the other guys board on top of my head. Then the wave crashed right on top of us and had a nasty washing.

- on a bodyboard in 18ft surf took a death plunge sideways and landed on my bodyboard sideways. I had very sore ribs for a long time

The last week i have had the best rides of my life i was doing things on my surfboard i did not know i was capable of

Best Wipeout: Probably surfing a reef in bundoran, hit it pretty hard after a beast of a wave (around 8 foot) took me by surprise after coming of the back of the wave i took in, got a bit of a pummeling bouncing of the reef.

Best Ride: Croyde a month back, saw the biggest wave of the day and turned, paddled and poped up (without messing it up) and then rode down the line doing a few lazy cutbacks and finished with a floater. It was only around 3-4foot but i thought it was great

I thing the best wipe goes to the guy who posted a week or two ago that had his fin cut up his face causing him to get several stiches.

best wipe out: well this is funny not best, i went to paddeld into a wave of my longboard, and then it all walled up either side, so i pulled out and sat right on the end tail of my board, but i had got to much speed, the noes went down and i was catapulted about a meter head first into shallow water.

best wave: about a month or so back at putts, it was about 4-6ft waves and there was a few longboarders out back catchin the big sets and i was one of them, i was this huge set comming so i paddeld, and this wave was just about to break when i got it so i go so much speed, did a huge bottom turn up into a long top turn, i i cruised at the bottom of the wave until the white water catched up with me so i did loads of pumpin turns and i had so much speed i then shot ahead so i did a little cut back then it all broke so i road the white wash. then it reformed and my foot was about 3 inches away from the noes i crouched down grabed the rail and pulled into it. amazing wave, il neva forget that day, best surf iv ever had

best wipeout:
well these arent really good but wtv.
I got my first board, my first session on it (6.6)
i was used to riding a bic 7.3 i rented so i put my feet to much forward on the board.
The waves were coming in fast, i didnt go to the begginer spot because i did not know about it...
I whent to forward, somehat dived in the water, the nose of the board hit me right in the knee and cut it open. The worst part is i dinged the nose. The board is being repaired as we speak. (i still rid the waves with it, it wasnt really bad)

Best wave:
1. Same place as above, the waves were pretty big for me, about shoulder high.
Well i took a wave, turned and held my board while crouching. Then the wave barreled over me smashing all the water in my face. It then broke and i fell but it was so great!
2. This is a wave i will always remember, it was a small day at the begginer place, i was just starting out (3 weeks experience) and i took a wave and followed it for sooooooo long. The wave was waist high and barreling and landing on my foot. I was screaming yebo! and wohoooo while on the wave to my friend.

Wipeout: In Australia at Burleigh. It was a big day as a cyclone had just rolled through. Probably 15ft+ and clean rights.
I paddled on the peak and popped up on a wave, bottom turned..and as it formed over me I noticed another surfing popping up on the shoulder. He stalled and pulled into the barrel as well. That left me ridiculesly deep in the barrel and I got washed around. Somehow he fell of as well and we were both being smashed together and around. We came up after a hold down with our boards tangled. We spent a minute trying to get it untangled and another massive set rolled through.
We got smashed around together over and over.

Eventually we got it untangled. I gave him xxxxx for it though!
