7800, Be Careful Out There!

It takes just one wave to flip you over like that! The scary thing...especially with surfing and to a lesser extent fishing is that bad injuries seem to happen on the smaller days and not the bigger days. For those who are not experienced waterman, remember if you go "over the falls" NEVER go head first! ALWAYS put your hand out to break your fall and/or fall flat on your back rather than diving into the water (very important in shallow water) so you don't break your neck! It takes just one wave to potentially put you in a wheelchair for life if you land wrong...please be careful!
