What were your thoughts just before disaster struck?

Just one more wave before I go in
So what is worse.... dying or regretting it for the rest of my life? Obviously I chose not regretting it.

Just give two thumbs down if there's an emergency.

You can't cram for the surf exam.

He is inside of some good sized waves but I used to ride bigger walls on an innertube when I was a kid. We would get these cane truck innertubes that were maybe 5 feet across and maybe 4 to 6 kids would tow it out around the break and into the lineup then catch a wave as it broke. The winner was the one who held on the longest. Ahh the good ol days

I usually laugh, even under water. Not sure if it's nervous laughter or the giggles, but unless I am hurt I am having fun
