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.

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!
(picture the boat where the wave is)
I have to admit the few times I have sailed the pipe the high-speed power boats ripping through there have given me the creeps.
