What do you guys find is the best way to bail when you find no way out without getting hurt.

It's even worse when you're a cripple, hard to get away from your board when on your knees.

I find in most cases if you always try n make it no matter what you end up in the center of the spinning vortex of water that is the wave. The longer you hold on the more time the wave has to expel its more violent energy with a well timed and directed dive delivering you out the back of the wave unscathed. Worst thing you can do is end up in the lip as it will often go all the way to the bottom n if your in it your going there too.

Going back to that spinning vortex of water idea the outside of it moves faster than the center so keep your eyes on the prize, stay centred and focus on gettin outta that thing.

not like this then
