Visualize with me a second… You are out in the ocean sitting on your board. And all of a sudden you see that big peak rolling in behind the others.  That is when you know its go time. Forget the other waves, you paddle out further and you do it fast. No time to waste. This could be the one… The perfect peak, one that will break just right. You continue to paddle, you turn around, line yourself up on your board and feel it start to pull you. You start paddling again, hard, then you feel the wave start to form, start to push you. Time to commit…

The water is moving you. You stand up on your board. You start carving to the top of the wave, you find the sweet spot and next thing you know it your in it. There are walls of water on both sides everything is silent except for the roar. You are pumping that board trying not to get swallowed into the depths of mother ocean. Some call it the Green Room, getting pitted, shacked, barreled. Regardless of what you call it, you’ll know it when you in it or you’ll be swallowing sea water and kicking for the surface.

14 PAX committed Thursday morning some got shacked some wiped out… A valiant effort by all. Welcome to the Dawn Patrol Backblast. Lets do this.
