After reading the various theories of what might happen I would suggest you ask a surfer what happens when a wave catches a loose but tethered to the ankle surfboard and multiply it by ?? factor. I have no idea what that may be like but a very light board in the conditions you're looking at may give you an idea if it's feasible at all. I avoid this kind of surf in lieu of fun on the beach, but I can't help but think I'd rather roll and take it up side down as in smaller surf. Then again I'm a weenie and will watch you stouthearts have at it, unless my survival depends on it. Can't afford to lose a boat in practice either.
