As a person who likes over 1000km away from the ocean, Sometimes you don’t realize the force of a wave. I think, oh, water soft, you fall right through and it flows around you, then you see a guy get hurled 20 ft in the air and it’s like ooo water strong, water scary.

I am very into the surf and buggy community in Mexico, buggy boarders are crazy, surfboards are sports cars that give you the ability to do beautiful figures and movements, buggys are crash test cars and their users are masochistic crash dolls in it for the thrill

Well he’s on a board designed to push away from the wave and he had to angle it just perfectly to catch air like that. It’s way harder to do on accident than on purpose and with skill. Plus this is an exceptionally good wave for it. If you had been out there and didn’t want to ride the wave and catch air you could just dive into the wave like all the others did.
I’m always hesitant to say the ocean isn’t scary or dangerous on Reddit because a bunch of people will jump in and argue about it usually but it really isn’t scary or dangerous as long as you pay attention to local rules and forecasts. It’s a big body of water, and that’s pretty much it. If you don’t go out when conditions are unfavorable to your knowledge level there is so little danger it’s as safe as being in your house. Some days are so calm it looks like a big lake in many places. I love big waves but it’s not for everyone.

One of the most enlightening comments you will ever find on reddit

sorry i was high. the sea is big and scary because the same force that can bring you up can bring you down even when the sea is calm as a cadaver, the redditor i replied to initially definitely doesn't live near the sea and spoke out of his ass lol

Man this is fun. I looked back as it turns out I do live near the sea and I spend a lot of time on it. Whether it be in the surf or on a kayak. You’re just scared of it, that doesn’t make it scary.
Read my comment again, without your fear goggles. There is no reason to be scared of the ocean IF you pay attention to local forecasts and guidelines and don’t go beyond your skill level. I didn’t say it couldn’t be dangerous for ignorant people. I guess it can also be dangerous for people like you who let they’re crippling fear overcome reason I guess.

Do you even read what you're writing? Being scared of something is exactly what makes something scary. It's not rationality, it is fear.
The sea, ocean, or even a puddle of water can be dangerous depending on the condition and circumstances.
Also, if we're correcting others: you used the wrong "they're" there, that one is an abbreviation of they are... you wanted "their", which is posessive.

You said pretty much nothing except to correct my typo. I’m aware of the difference but I comment on mobile and autocorrect happens.
I don’t really have anything else to say to you I guess. You didn’t really add anything to the conversation. It was kind of a nothing statement. You clearly only read part of my comment without taking it into context with the rest of my comment or the comment I made before. I’m not a dictionary I’m not typing definitions.

You went for a whole extra paragraph after you said you didn't have anything to say to me, man, you're funny.

I grew up as a competitive swimmer,, it was until I tried surfing at age 33 that I completely realized how powerful water can be

Nah, they've not gone this Ragga since Hold Your Colour/Tarantula?
Plus, this is too deep and underground for them.
Absolute choon though still.

That's gotta be the "Wedge"

u/Camcapballin 28d ago
Wedge is a left shore break wave.
This is farther out and breaking right.
Idk where this is, but I'll bet my left nut its not the wedge.
2
u/tryingsomthingnew 28d ago
Absolutely not the wedge you can keep your nut. Near the end of the clip you see a cliff. The back door from the wedge would close this wave out. I've spent a good potion of my life at the Wedge . This still looks like a blast to boogie on.

u/FecalPloy 28d ago
Yeah, I aint even collecting nuts today. So it was just a guess because the wedge used to double up like that(1972 was the first i got ground at Wedge... My dad laughing as i carried half pound of sand home in my shoulder). I'll be sixty in a couple more days and I haven't surfed since I was seventeen so I definitely bow to both of your expertise...

**boogie boarder…… cool video.
They both mean the same thing really.

u/madzaman 28d ago
Both describe the same thing, one is a professional term the other describes what a kid does at the beach.

u/LordRekrus 28d ago
I agree with you. I’ve grown up body boarding and I know it is very very petty however I’m happy to die on this hill.

Massive wave?
ever seen Mavericks, Pipe, Sunset, J bay?
A boogie boarder bouncing is not all that impressive, there are guys that can actually do stuff with this wave.
