and if you want to simulate what a leashon a ski will be like....

find a great dane, and a cat. Tie Dane to ankle, release cat...and see what happens :bigeyes:

oh, and do all this while holding breath. :biggthumpup:



so the wave is the Great Dane.....

easier said than done sometimes but good advice

sometimes you dont have a choice but the times that you do loose the ski you wouldnt want to be attachehed to it anyways...also stan get a helmet..we rode down here yesterday and it was only waist high but i nosed the sand on a reentry and went over the bars and the ski smashed me in the head...i would have been knocked out for sure if i didnt have it on.....you are out there charging when its overhead without one...

yea i wanted to make it up but there was some small surf in town so we just rode here...im loving the straps...last weekend w/o them i couldnt land a reentry...first ride with em and i was launching em and landing way down the whitewater...also you can do some pretty crazy tailslides on the foam when you are locked into your ski...mabye next weekend we can do pismo...we might camp at jalama if its nice though..you ever bee there???..it gets super heavy
 
The only time I bail is when I'm going to come down hard on the tail and hit bottom, but that's always in smallish, shallow surf so it doesn't matter much.

what about when the bottom drops out on an overhead wave and you take a little trip over the falls?..

I still try to hold on... I definately don't want to be seperated from the ski ever... that to me is the time when you really need to try to hang on for life and power thru the whitewater.. I don't like being held down in a wave either though and that can happen if you don't let go..

I Hear ya on not letting go.

At the Long Beach Freeride a few weeks back, I let go only twice.
The first time the ski ran upside down and then I couldn't get it started again and had to get towed.

Second time it was between me and a breaking 6 footer. The ski got hurled at me from 10 ft away and hit me hard on the helmet.
