    hey, you asked a poorly phrased question. & you got an answer you didn't like. WHO needs to be realistic?

    If you are worried about not being able to get back in you probably shouldn't paddle out!!!

    i'm kind of on board with you--i have the day off and would like to paddle out but every time the off shore winds get up to this speed its just not fun--you try to drop and get hammered with water pellets in your face.
    does anyone have any non d**k head thoughts on this?

    yeah im not trying to be a 'd**k head' but... you probably should just stay home if you're are going to complain about the strong winds in the winter. Suck it up and go or don't. If it ain't worth it to you it ain't worth it.

    keep your head kind of down,kind of slit your eyes,fight through,paddle really hard and do the semi-blind drop.once you make it to the bottom it's fine.getting back in is easier,the waves go in,so take one.
