Kevin,

I noticed this comment in an old post of yours.  Isn't it the shoulder of
the inboard hand that is likely to dislocate while side surf bracing on a
wave?  How then would holding the outboard hand near the chin prevent
dislocation?  I agree that the outboard hand near chin greatly improves
roll.
