Watching this begs the question: On that wave, would you rather get stuck in the lip leading to an elevator-drop wipe out, make the drop but take the lip on the head, or mess up on the face and go over the falls??
Anytime! I just stumbled across the video on YouTube and figured it was worth sharing. I love a good wipeout.
I think making the drop but taking the lip on the head would make the beating more worth it IMO. Anyway you slice it, your ass is getting wrecked, might as well have a brief moment of success lol
Must really suck to purposefully bail so you can get under water, only to land instead on a concrete face then get rolled like gorilla biscuits
I would take "C"...at least you then have water below you and also water above you, somewhat insulated from bottom below, and board above.... Did I win the prize???
It would be brutal no matter what, so I'd opt for the drop first, then the beating. At least I make it all the way to the bottom on my board.
My reasoning would be to not have to swim in for my boart but it can work against you in a nasty wipe out, I have the scars to prove it lol
