Riding big waves

How come people do not wear a PFD (life jacket) when surfing?

Because in surfing you need to get under the wave in order not to get toss or killed. You want to duck dive to get out of the washer effect. I think a good thing would be a system that deploys when triggered. A system that is passive like a life jacket will end up getting a person killed faster.

I love surfing, and boy does it have a way of humbling you.

-probably not the best place to learn duck diving.

Nice vids. That one haituda posted looks like tehapu (spelling). Thick ass wave. I did 12footers @ ehukai once. That was enough for me!
