My main issue with duck-diving is not being able to open my eyes underwater lest a 50/50 chance of losing a contact.
I have found that it is harder for me to perform the duckdive sequence with my eyes shut even on my board with less volume. Success rate with eyes shut does not warrant relying on this maneuver.
Turtle-roll is comparatively simple kinetically and can be done with eyes shut so to speak.

Basically I am flat on my back on the surface of the water holding my board in the air above me. When the wave rolls over me you can guess what happens.

Just keeping your vision help to make closeout section and just stay more upright on the board. ( funny thing, i never lost a contact in bigger waves, always in small conditions, guess I let my guard down )

I never lose a contact from a big wave, heavy wipeout, etc. because I always shut my eyes in those moments. It's always some random moment where a bit of spray hits my face as I paddle over a whitecap, or something like that. Somehow the spray hits my eyes and knocks a lens out.
