[Closed] Stuff you HAVE done before

Big waves are terrifying. I've scared myself stupid on a number of occasions when I've bitten off more than I could chew even in overhead waves. I've got the utmost respect for anyone who rides the really big stuff. These days, a mellow 3-4ft is more my speed!

-been stabbed

Lived abroad
Learned to XC ski
Gone for a walk in -23C
Walked on the sea
Driven across America several times
Got married on a Saturday, then gone to the consulate on Monday to get a Visa to bring my wife home on the Wednesday 🙂

Earned the love and respect of my wife and daughter.. this is the biggie I reckon.

I find they vary a fair bit - I've surfed 6-8ft waves that are okay (for non surfers this is double to double and a half overhead - wave sizes are odd) then surfed 4-5ft heavy dumpers that have scared the sh1t out of me.

Have been very close to drowning twice (blacked out, etc) so a bit more careful. Loads of injuries too but all fine in the end.

We need more waves NOW!

i've been out in, and paddled for large waves (18' at the beach by killers) but I chickened out and pulled out before dropping in. The view from the top is frikkin scarey. Head high and chilled is much more my thing.

Still need to get barrelled, mind.
