And as long as you're not in a rock garden or a coral reef, thereŽs no risk of hitting a rock. IŽve been surfing 10 mts waves without fear, and I love and have fun being rocked, shacked, and pushed up and down.>>> I'll try and get to my post about the two kayakers who got into trouble last week off the BC coast. The fellow with the most experience phoned me tonight, but i was on the internet and missed his call. Basically, they were out looking for some fun, and got waaaaay more than they bargained for. You gotta know your area and limits. And as the details will provide, shoulder dislocation and attendant difficulties ensuing are a real enough hazard. The ocean may be soft, but the lessons can be hard. PS Glad Jack is still with us. Thanks for the original post. Not everyone wants to share their close-calls. I value your openness and integrity. Behave, Fernando!
