Mark your explaination over states your skills and experience?
Especially at locations AROUND GERALDTON AND NORTH.
Obviously when u sail out u must intend on deliberity HOLDING YOUR LINE TO CREATE A COLLISION OR PISS SOME ONE OFF.
I have never stated one should
not make
basic ajustments to head down or up wind whilst sailing out .
But again if u have actually done any REAL wave sailing IN REAL waves, over 80% of the time you are not planning, and should hold your line GOING OUT and watch the other wave sailor carving it up of the bottom and putting a mountain of water over you as he snaps of the top.
As for your collision i would suggest your reaction time and decission making process was left way to late, creating a dangerous scenario,
Were you riding a GO board ?
ALSO If you take off to late as u have done [UV MISS READ THE WAVE ]and not taken consideration of someone on the inside and or plodding out.
Well got news for u , sometimes people get caught out. IE by a wide set.
and ,yes
The wave rider has to straighten out. THIS DOES PISS U OFF.
NOTE One must ask THE question of the person getting worked and or plodding around on the inside struggling to get out. WHAT THE HELL ARE U DOING THERE ANYWAY. Face it, no one wants to be smashed on the inside.
Tips
Work on increasing your reaction time BRO including your trigger finger OVER IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dont tell any of DA crew
