So I took a big one to the dome yesterday and my leash broke. I lived to talk about it so I thought i'd share this after action report from Danton Bolanger.[video=youtube;lxs2nxFjdmo]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lxs2nxFjdmo[/video]
oh man your leash broke...well go buy a new one, if you almost die with out a leash on you shouldnt be surfing. this was the worst post ever bro im disappointed.
Yeah just at buy a new one and **** it keep surfing without your leash just hug that board like your momma when it gets tough mate!!!!! And no airs!!!!!!!!
First broken leash and first time big wave surfing. Dude the real pain is yet to come. Better get yourself an inflatable vest.
I bet you cant swim for a hill a beans in serious conditions I broke my leash at 6 foot hermosa and 6 foot plus marias, the swim in is intense, the struggle is real, a mile open ocean is easier than those 100 yards in the impact zone
Lol buoys go easy on this cat. Dis tread is 1578% less of a kooktread than 99.999Pi999Phi9999Fibonacci99999% of any other SItread bouts which fast food joint sucks the least, witch wetsuite should we disgust for the umphundoteenth time, witch Sweller's about to off themself because their hipster girl dumped their sorry bearded azz, faux-Hello from your latest serial alias-er, faux-Goodbye from your latest emo-Sweller, witch evil corp is fracking now, Monsanto killed my dog, I'm back!!! (and still a mega-douche), what do I do on my first equatorial surf trip?, rad bad dad mad bee bop smack me in da jihad, let's blow up mad secret spots, OMG I got dropped in on what dew I dewwwww, etc. treadz that anyone perusing dis phorum is subject to on the daily. SIDE NOTE: I seldom agree with anything MISsy has to say but yeah, doing the dash in the impact zone is to be avoided at all costs. I got mad respek n braddahood for several of the Swellers cappin on dis cat who had the decent humility to post a memorial vid in self-deprecating comic fashion regarding his leash mishap, but how many of ma dawgs have had to do the Naval sidestroke 50-100yds to a jetty or end up a lost carcass at sea? Ain't fun bro. It's straight up cathartic and the reason I've not charged in over 20mph winter swell this year unless there are clean longer period lines. Don't knock it til you walk it. That's my $0.02 of post now, pay later.
Did ya ever swim better 'n ever on account if you didn't it would have been the end? if you make it to angourie (north coast nsw)...check out the cliffs....then think of me.....bam, bam, bam...... oh **** i HAVE TO SWIM HARDER.....bam, bam, bam.....had to and did power through it cause..... i didn't want to croak.
Next time, maybe your buddy can video your leash breaking as you go over the falls, that would be a better video. Just sayin
another one that comes to mind is one of the alpha doods in ac who i'm sure you know...... pin-balled by the pier at nyav....boing......boing......boing.......ovah and....ovah. dood took his pounding... cause your only other choice is...not the right one.
Same thing in DOH plus Dominical (at the Point, not the main closeout beach) durning a clean up set at dropping tide. I was too far in and got worked. A long and treacherous swim, only to be ridiculed by my buddy for not using a new leash. I rode my step up 6'8" from then on, instead of my brand new semi-gun 7'4". I never rode it again. Too hard to duck dive, too big for me. It was put on consignment when I got home.
Worst swim in I ever had was a BIG winter storm day at Patrick's AFB... leash broke and the swim took forever. Ended up drifting what felt like a mile before I got in. I threw up on the beach.
