A technique question about surf skills: Anyone have any good ideas on rolling under breakers too big to punch through? Particularly, I am wondering about: 1. timing the roll under 2. timing the roll up 3. whether to stay in a roll set-up position while under water, or 4. whether to extend arms and paddle while under water to get a greater braking effect? 5. what size surf do you punch/spear through, what size do you roll under, and at what point do you just keep out altogether? Any real life practical tips appreciated. Good paddling, Peter Treby 37°42'S 145°08'E *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
