Face planting!

[Bwgan]

Don't know if its happened to anyone else, but took a swan dive off my board today and hit the water at a fair rate of knots and felt my bottom eye lids filling with water, not the nicest of feelings in the world

[miamisurfer]

i've never had that happen before but it doesn't sound to pleasant
i try to close my eyes right before i hit the water so something like that doesn't happen

[GowerCharger]

yeah i gt that a lot when i go bodysurfing, it feels weird and im pretty sure it doesnt do your eyes much good

[trails surfing]

ya i've taken a few dives on my new board. i go for a quick cut back and i put the nose in and take a dive. it's a retro 70's board so it has less of a rocker. never got water in my eye, so i find it hilarious. can't imagin how funny it looks to everyone watching.

Aye feels like you have been punched in the eye. Great stuff!

[Old Guys Rule]

I love watching those type of wipe outs. Sure hate being the one when it happens.

[essex sucks]

as long as u do it in style.

For me its all about planing across the water with most of face above water but my nostrils submerbed. It feels like the water is going up my nose and out my ears

I can imagine that looks quite amusing, a hobbit water scoop!

[libby]

Yes i'm quite sure it does, in fact i usually come up (i eventually sort of sink) with a huge, if slightly confused, grin on my face. Pearling is not pretty, but its quite good fun!

I haven't done that with surfing. I did that with wakeboarding a few times though
