    Same here I couldnt get up back over the wave because it kind of closed out in the middle of it so I tried going under nd popping back out,,,, well that didnt work all it did was suck me under hit the bottom which was actually very deep tried kicking and swimming up but the undertoe just kept me nd my board under water started to swallow a little bit eventually got back up which felt like it was a mintue longest 15 seconds of my life....

    deal was huge this afternoon. two dudes w/ guns were getting some good ones and some bodyboarder got a few also. i thought about for like forty min but it really didn't look that fun. ended up surfing long branch some overhead heavy as **** waves. if it's knee high at 6am tomorrow i will be absolutely stunned

    You have some stones....glad you made it out alright. was watching some of the surfline cams, nj spots looked out of control. long island looked pretty awesome, though.

    :p Delaware was on fire 6ft w/plus sets, :( crowded as hell, but got a fair share of waves, I had no drowning incidents, but got hit several times by other surfers boards and dropped in on many times, thanks to Maryland restricting water access, everyone from Maryland came up north to Delaware

    for what it's worth, when I get closed out, I usually just stop struggling and wait for the wave to lose power before surfacing. saves energy and air and makes the paddle out easier
