A surfer I used to work with (named Ocean…really) and I were once talking about the landlubber’s take on the power of modest waves. "People don’t know what a four foot wave is," he said.   Having been washed by many, I concurred.   

The gentleman above is about to have a four foot moment.  Hopefully he’s grabbed the rear footstrap.

    How true! There was a couple who got caught by the waves while trying to rescue their dog a few weeks back, the woman drowned. The strange thing is that they were both in the Coast Guard.
    Don’t fuck with the ocean! Always show her respect, otherwise she will swallow you down and spit you out.
