I've had my worst thrashings on a shore break. Once I was surfing my Cascade & the bow dug into the sand. My wife was on the beach & said she could see the bow grab-loop when the boat was vertical. It was one of those times when I just laid there, not sure if I was ok or not :-?

The Big EZ is fun on a wave, but you have to be closer in to catch one & it's real tough to get out.

The Viper is perfect for getting out. It's just like punching big holes in whitewater :D

Mike I did the same in my viper. Nose dived into the sand, did a end over landed on my back, rolled and paddled back out to do it again. I wasn't quite into the beach, had a steep wave, so I had plenty of water when I rolled.
