      I was praying he was coming out! I'd just swam in to film someone on a smaller set then this thing loomed up in front.

    You have never surfed" Ocean Beach San Francisco at 3x overhead.You get out to the break& exhaustion, then huge "A- Frames" and hope to kick out before," You get held in the 50° water, and, come - up hopefully with your board attached.You are on your own( no jet- skiis, no lifeguards( no lifeguard could get to you anyway.I'm only alive( well trained 6 days a week for 19 months knowing full well( my damn cancer is coming back again),_kinda thought" Dying is coming anyway, but survival instincts override it.That was 1994& still alive( working), as I feed "29" forgotten cats,12 live their lives in an" Auto junkyard, 5 more in a business strip mall,and my 2& about 10-12 in my neighborhood( people move& leave the poor animals to die.I won't let them die, until I do.God! I miss Surfing& all the nice people I met.Challenge yourselves everybody.We are here by dumb luck& No! Jesus isn't coming back soon.I will see him soon& this world is going to be great!Just" out a kilter.

    The freaky thing about getting held down by a big wave in cold water is that it's pitch black down there.

      Yeah and cold water seems and I suppose is heavier / more dense. Mavs always looks really heavy due to the cold and water colour.

      @@mrbproductions wow that's really scary, from what I understand many diving accidents result from people swimming the wrong way once disoriented. Once that air gets real low it's damn near impossible to fight off the panic.
