Right after you say "Oh shit!". You start back paddling.

you yell "oh Shit" to warn your friends to take immediate evasive action and then start back paddling so you DON'T RIDE the wave, PEARL and FLIP...if the Gangman music starts playing in the background over the La Jolla loud speakers it is too late...

Here is a video example of what can happen

Still waiting for a reverse gear for my Revo. Learned the hard way that this would be a very useful feature.

I saw a guy in a sit-inside kayak who had figured it out. He paddled in close to the surf line, made a 180 turn and then backed in to the beach. I was impressed and tried the same thing.

Guys in the beach apparently did not see the wisdom of this maneuver. I was called everything but a guy with gonads when I hit the beach, (upright and dry). Sometimes it it better to be smart than cool.

Almost shmalmost, just cause I rode out the 4 footer sideways does not mean I had any intention of doing a water taste sample survey.
