We’ve all seen this with our own eyes more than once. And since you are reading this we’ll go ahead and add the reminder that we’ve each lived to tell about it. Sometimes it’s infuriating. Sometimes it’s just plain laughable. Truth be told, we also know the very lineups where we’re most likely to run into such a scenario before it happens, so by not avoiding said lineups in the first place we really have nobody to blame but ourselves.
We’ve all been both the dodger and the dodgee on different days. We’ve been that scrambling, frantic, hopeless little landmine sitting in the way of a projectile surfboard. And we’ve all been that poor sap thinking we were about to get the wave of the day only to catch it and spend the entire time bobbing and weaving around potential victims.
Granted, this fella could have done himself a big favor by staying tighter in the pocket of this Ulus peeler…or, you know, just not shooting 15-feet out in front of it at all times. Still, the chore of counting 1…2…3…25…it’s funny.
So, how many humans can one person dodge on a single wave? We should start keeping a record book on that one.
