I re-posted a couple of early videos:

The classic Kirk Newkirk being swept off the boat video from the 2004 Tybee:

What a tease.
I thought this was going to be a risqué thread.

we'll get a crew working on that

Brian,

I'd be willing to perform the "market research" for the aforementioned "new crew"

That was a nice recovery on getting washed over. It looked like his adjustable trap line slipped. We just had a discussion on TheBeachcats.com about the fiddle blocks on trap lines taking off thumbs and other important part of anatomy. I mentioned that I dislike them because they slip on me a lot. I've never been washed over, but I have "tea bagged" myself a couple of times doing it. Nice to see it happens to others, too.

P.S. I used the term "tea bagging" in a G-rated sense. Don't quote me on that for you new video.

its easier than you think while trapping out at the beginning of a long distance race leg to forget to "stand on your feet"

One wave comes along and whamo you're body surfing the roostertrails. I know it happens to me quite often because of my clod-hoppers and long legs just favor a wave-washing.

After a couple minutes on the water you're more aware of where your feet are
