Re: Whats the longest "hold down" you've lived through?

Worst ever for me was a big winter day at Scott Creek. I
was sitting on the inside of the pack and a huge set popped
up and swung wide around the reef and caught me right in
the impact zone. The first wave blew me down and bounced me
off the bottom. It was late afternoon and the water was
dark, almost zero visability and I got disoreinted and
couldn't figure out which was was up for a bit. I barely
made it to the surface in time for about one breath before
getting slammed by the second wave of the set and held under
in the pitch black again.

Finally popped up about a hundred yards inside almost in
the shorebreak and was able to swim in and crawl up onto
the beach. That was a beating that has always stuck in my
mind.

A few pics from a similar day there

If it doesn't have tits, fins, sparkplugs, gunpowder or hops I'm not interested.
