Re: Whats the longest "hold down" you've lived through?
03/24/12 05:10 AM

West Side Oahu, around 1999. I went out at Maili Point on a borrowed longboard in a rising swell -- followed a friend of mine and a local he knew. I'd only surfed there in small stuff and didn't realize there was an outside peak. They were out on the main peak (on longboards too) while I was catching some of the side waves. I noticed they were really digging for the outside but figured I was safe...weeellll, you know the drill, cleanup set, separated from board, ragdoll, gasp for breath, bam, into the reef. A whole bowl of Not Good.

The thing I learned from that beating was that you gotta know the lineup and bottom contours if you're gonna go out on a big day.
