Surf Rage: Aqua Tackles

Well here’s one way to sort out a drop in. Tom Thimpson is spot on about how quickly dream sessions can be ruined by an entourage of “passionate” surfers. “It’s all happened to us before, you’re out surfing, enjoying a good session with just you and your mates. Then you suddenly get that sinking feeling as you see 10 people pile out into the line up, all at once, heading for you like a honing missile.” After 3 drops in by the same guy Tim had had a bloody gutful. “As luck would have it, one particular honing missile decided to head my way to fade me for the third consecutive time, let’s just say my exit off the wave was either poorly timed or perfectly executed, depending on how you look at the situation.”
