I was out in an area of converging waves Sunday in my Godzilla. Talk about confused seas, waves were hitting me from literally every direction. A couple of times I was surfed straight away from the beach. Not big waves, but the clapotis was about eye height. The striking thing was, that boat is so stable I didn't need to brace or even edge much, even when a blindside wave broke right on my shoulder. Of course if you need to put it on edge, it's no problem to lay your ear in the water.
