In Response To: Punching big waves... my rather lengthy thoughs (Mike and Rikki)

Hmmm. I'll have to reread all this. I pick condition 6 - the waves were about 8', and tumbling not dumping. They look really big when you are looking up at the froth, which the bottom of is still 'up'. The didnt auger my stern, but did stop me cold and push me backwards.

So paddle harder, tuck into them, and stay calm. This helps! Thanks!
