Caught in a Rip

Rips were bad today, but not that bad lol

 

A propre sand reconne might have prevented this. Gotta watch out for them gullies.

Lost at sea over 20 hours in DOH surf in the PNW, finds shore 20 miles north on Indian reservation:

Indeed, Mr. Smith failed to go spread eagle (sorry Springfeel) within the undertow, in order to slow down, and then left his swim buddy, both bad moves. Good thing the tourist did not lose his board...

 

Too bad the jap didn't get eaten by a big Great White pointer.......sushi.

 

o barry

 

Please forgive me, but I transposed Mr. Smith and Mr. Snyder's names, within my mind (two S's), and wish to correct myself. As opposed to editing my previous post, I located the full video. The training begins at the 19 minute mark; however, watching the full video could prove life saving, one day...

kinda looks fun and would be a great workout for surfing! I would jump in in a sec!

 

Well, here is another one. I simply fast forward scanned it, like I did the other one. The audio is bad within post #13; so, if I can locate a clear one of the same (doubtful), I will simply edit and replace it. I did notice the first few seconds of this one, and it reminded me of being out in Oside. They (Camp Pendleton) would sometimes come out in their rafts and all for training, making us move north, and they were really cool about it, too.

mask and flippers and waves= good time! the rest looks like I need to be 20 again! I truly wish I became a rescue diver! I fkd up!

 

I actually started watching it, and am at about 46 minute mark, but I will look for that other one.

 

Funny you said that, because this was the next one in the queue, and Florida (at least to begin with...watching it now)!

Have yet to find a better audio for the riptide video, but I imagine this one certainly contains some helpful information for all, as well (going to watch it, now):

Edit: @00:55 - "...it is some of the toughest training, in all the military..."

 

I'm going to make a YouTube video about Flo and his/her lame posts.

I'm going to call it, "Surviving The (C)unt".
