Yet another lesson learned by getting slammed in the face. I was on the shore watching, thinking I was in charge of my timing to launch between sets. Tricksy ocean decided to suck me right into the impact zone without my approval. You can see my resignation as I stop back paddling and accept the ride… I then get ready to get a big stroke and power into the wave. Takeaway: when timing your launch in surf, make sure you're waiting in a spot where YOU'RE in control of your timing, and you're not handing that decision over to the water… With @primepaddlesports @billvonnegut @sprakman @nimbus_paddles #paddlingmixtape
