You are surfing down the mother of all waves with your beachcat, going dead downwind without spi, and you are about to hit the bottom. It's blowing a lot, 10-18m/s. You know you are likely to stuff the bows and pitchpole as you accelerate down the wave and hit the bottom.
What do you do? Go dead downwind and hope there is enough bouyancy in the bows, or head up to a reach and try riding it out?
