Again, yikes, glad you are all right DavidM! I don't think I could be that calm about it, I hope the boater at least learns to pay a lot more attention.

Not the kind of “shredding” you had in mind. Glad it was just gear.

:shock: So glad you were calm, had an action plan, and had the timing and skill to pull it off! A lesser waterman (mere mortal) might not have faired so well.

Looks like a lifetime of surfing duck dives paid off big time! 8) :D :wink:
