16) Tell us about that video of you and that Wedge wave, what happened ?
Oh yeah, I knew that question was a coming. I think it was like my second wave, I saw it coming in and asked that sponger next to me if he was on it. He said no no go go !!! Well after everybody who was on beach and in water yelling and screaming go go !! And you where there I know videoing, so shit, had to go. And I am not one to let a wave like that go by, so I went. I scratched and scratched to get into it. Right before I got to my feet, it jacked up. By the time I got to my feet, I knew I was screwed. So I jumped off my board. If you watch it in slow mo I fell right into the trough. It is funny, watching it in slow mo, that is how it felt, like I was falling forever in slow motion. So it actually pushed me through the back, thats why I popped up laughing. It did actually knock the wind out of me. So yeah, thats what happened.

17) Well that is one hell of a wave, big balls and big respect !!
Thanks!!
